Las Vegas Shooting

[Mizzoufan]

It appears there was a horrible shooting in Las Vegas last night at a out door concert late last night. They were reporting dozens killed and over a 100 hurt. I think the shooter is dead but they are still looking for his female companion.

I heard this when I turned on the news a few minutes ago too: 20+ dead and 100+ wounded, shooter dead, and the photo of the roommate they're looking for.

These things just seem to be happening so frequently now. Part of me is in shock, thinking that I don't know what our world is coming to.

Another part is amazed that the coverage has gotten so much more "normal". The first time I remember something like this happening, it was the news. Now it's just one story and they go back to the traffic report.

I'm seeing reports of 50+ dead.
So very sad, Prayers to all affected.

THe word now is at least 50 killed and 200+ injured. It’s the worst mass shooting in US history.

This is awful..

I just checked in with a friend who was going to Vegas. She's ok.

Very sad.

 

[mom2rtk]

I'm sick. Prayers to everyone affected.

The shooter, 64 years old, has been killed. He was a local resident, Stephen Paddock. He was on the 32 or 36 floor and just opened fire.

The videos are horrific.

Reports that a woman pushed her way to the front and others were saying hey where are you going, and she said (paraphrasing), "It doesn't matter anyway because in a few minutes you're all going to be dead".

Reports that a woman pushed her way to the front and others were saying hey where are you going, and she said (paraphrasing), "It doesn't matter anyway because in a few minutes you're all going to be dead".

I wonder if the woman pushing her way to the front was Marilou Danley or perhaps a third person that knew this was going to happen.

So sad and senseless.

This is heartbreaking. So many lives carelessly taken. I can't fathom how someone can plan something like this. Prayers sent up for all of those affected.

 

[Mizzoufan]

50 people oh my goodness. People are just evil just evil.

I'm absolutely distraught. Vegas is one of my favorite places in the US...those poor people. Heartsick for their loved ones.

Any motive known yet?
What are the media speculating?

So horrible.
It wasn't too long ago on a thread here on the DIS that I said I'd choose Vegas after Disney as my destination of choice with Southwest points. I've never been, but have always wanted to go. One of my reasons for Vegas was that I assumed it's probably one of the safest destinations in the world due to all of the security with that much money floating around.

I guess that's no longer the case. And the reports keep getting worse and worse for this incident.

Prayers for all affected, and for this crazy world in which we live.

I am listening to a livestream of a local radio show, they are saying he has no military background and no criminal record. Supposedly at his house now.

 

[Hikergirl]

This is so horrible, my thoughts are with all the victims and their families.
I can't believe that people are capable of doing things like this, it is pure evil.

Prayers for all involved...

Absolutely sickening to see and hear.

I've been watching the news with dad and the rapid fire sound reminds my father, who was in Vietnam, of a M16 used in the military.

OMG. This is just horrific. Prayers to the victims and their families. This is such a sad day for our state.
