The brother of the shooter is being interviewed and he is absolutely tearing stupid questions apart. This is amazing to watch.

Sounds like people didn't even realize they were being fired upon at first. Lot of eyewitnesses and less grievously injured said that they thought they were fireworks and a part of the show, not an asshole raining gunfire down upon them.

Yeah, I think they said he was shooting from the 32nd floor or so, and of course it was during a concert so you had that additional noise. Having a giant sniper nest overlooking an open air concert venue does seem like a recipe for disaster. It is kind of surprising it hasn't happened sooner, in retrospect.

People just froze. By the way, I will be deleting the post above. Just angry folks. Sorry.

Wow, I just learned that some people I know were at the concert. Thankfully they were able to get to safety.

I live in Las Vegas. So far, nobody I know has been hurt, but it's still disgusting nonetheless. And the dirty SOB kills himself, too. f***ing coward...

I respect everyone on here.. so I do not want to get into politics or anything.. But I will say it is so sick we live in a world now where your not safe anymore it seems.. It seems all to regular now you hear on the news about this attack or that attack.. It is so sad that violence in the world exists... My thoughts and condolences are with everyone at this time who were affected by it..
Here is a song that I always listened to I think the world could listen to this to

Death toll's jumped to 58 and over 500 injured in some way. Not sure how many of the injuries are from gunshots versus people panicking trying to get to safety.

It is the worst mass shooting in modern US history, but there aren't enough details to conclude that it should be classified as a terrorist attack yet.

Yeah "terrorist" definition or not, it's surpassed the Orlando shooting in death toll, making it the deadliest since 9/11, and I believe the 3rd deadliest after that and Oklahoma. Was this douche really sniping people from a high rise building? That's insane.

It feels like every day we wake up here in the USA, were at risk of being murdered in a massacre. Makes me wanna hide in my house and never come back outside It's not even just the US or Europe. There was a terrorist that happened here in my city two days ago with the good news 2 out of the 4 victims have been released out of the hospital with the other 2 in reportedly in stable condition. Shit I remember it was big news two years ago a terrorist group had West Edmonton Mall as a possible place of interest to create attack, reports of terrorists trying to blow up the pipelines, and a high ranking member of Al Qaeda who was on FBI's most wanted list was found hiding here for years a couple a years ago. I feel like it's a matter of time there would be a major attack here with North America's biggest shopping mall and North America's world's biggest oil reserve. But my point is besides that we are still living in the most peaceful times in human history. It is scary that these isolated incidents can occur but at least there's no major wars happening here nor it was violent as the 80's/90's crack epidemic. Besides we are lucky to be living in peaceful first world countries and not in a war torn Country. I drive everyday and spend at least 45 mins everyday driving and my city has some of the highest drunk driving rates in Canada. I've lost friends and known more people who died from not at fault car accidents then mass shootings/stabbings/terrorist attacks. But I still drive. RIP to all the people in Las Vegas. This is just absolutely sickening and sad.

My condolences to the family and friends of the victims.
So far the motive of this terrible thing hasn't been mentioned yet... although no answer will be good enough.

Terrorism is a word with a specific meaning though, specifically the use of violence against civilians to further political aims. As far I know there is nothing out there about this guys motivations yet.

I have this fear that somehow, this was a reaction to a certain other news story that just resolved out of Vegas, one way or the other. Or somehow in this person's mind. Just seems eerie this should happen after the release. Or the usual, sympathizer of some sort, etc. etc.
Vegas is one of my second homes, I've had many good times there. So did my family...including when my late dad took us there.
