Sounds like they only arrested him because he was wearing body armor. They are talking to a woman who says the guy was with her the whole time, he didn't do anything.

Yeah I heard that. It seems doubtful that he was a shooter. Not a good night to go out in body armor.

Imagine the treatment he's about to receive, even if that's true.

In hindsight maybe but considering the past 48 hours can you blame the guy?

So senseless and saddening and numbing and incomprehensible. I can't even begin to comprehend how Americans wake up every morning and continue to function in such an utterly broken country.

No I don't. It's just a wrong place, wrong time situation.

Snipers from an elevated position?

Man oh man... don't understand how people continue to operate down there. It's going to end in an all out war amongst themselves.

The really frightening part is two snipers, presumably working together. It's not a crazy lone gunman.

There's a good reason Canadians aren't going down to the States as much anymore (that and the exchange rate). Two snipers. It's like a war zone down there, even slightly resembling a Hunger Games-type situation. Just crazy.

Seems like they must have planned and mobilized pretty quickly as well. I'm assuming this protest was fairly spontaneous. I wonder if police/SWAT have them "trapped" and are putting together a take down or if the shooters some how fled the area.

Reports of a 4th officer has died. Just unbelievable. Lost for words.

This is all on the government. Everything since Columbine is and yet they sit there and take the NRA's money and here we are today. I cannot fathom how such utter incompetence is permitted by the U.S citizens while they watch their country de-evolve into hate with firepower.

Same thing with the racism. It's all on them. They allowed this powder keg to ignite. And it's so damned disheartening watching things like this get reported on a weekly basis.

I truly sincerely wish none of this was happening, it makes me sick that politics and the lack of common sense within their system is allowing innocent lives get taken on suh a large and violent scale.

A CNN reporter who is at the Crown Plaza is doing an interview right now. He said that a person with camouflage and an AR weapon walked through the crowd that was trapped in the hotel. Apparently the guy just casually walked through the hotel and police believe he may be one of the shooters. That is an absolutely crazy situation.

This is gross hyperbole. It's not a war zone down there. These incidents aren't happening randomly.
