8 killed on Monday, a bonafide school shooting yesterday, nothing on CNN or reddit. Mass shootings aren't even news worthy anymore

One dead in mass shooting at Washington state high school
This could have been extremely bad, he had an assault rifle but it jammed when he initially tried to load it, all the damage was done with a handgun with one clip.

He got the guns from his fathers gun safe, which obviously wasn't very "safe"

Two incredibly brave acts brought this to a close, one student that knew him didn't run away but tried to persuade him to stop and was shot and killed then a custodian (how many times have I made fun of the janitor at high school!) disarmed him.

Twitter is lighting up with videos and information about a current active shooter situation happening at/near Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, apparently at Route 91, some big country music festival.

Some videos sound like there's definite machine gun fire of some kind happening.

Hopefully this ends without loss of life and they catch whoever the shooter(s) is/are.

Living in the US is exhausting.

Holy #### the sound in the videos is terrifying. I have several friends in Vegas at the festival but all have reported in safe thankfully.

Video that caught the start. Nothing visually graphic but the sound tells the story. More at 0:55 and 1:20. Chilling.

Broadcastify is saying mass casualty event, and possibly multiple active shooters?

This is heartbreaking, what the hell is happening on this planet . . .

Per Twitter/police scanner, "shooters" being reported at NYNY, Tropicana, Aria, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Paris, but several of them have been confirmed as fakes/diversions after police investigation.

Also, sounds like one suspect shot in his room - he was shooting down into the festival from his hotel room at Mandalay Bay. Multiple firearms found in his room.

"Dead bodies everywhere" says an eyewitness on CNN. Based on the number of rounds you could hear in that video, this could get really really bad.

Battlefield Las Vegas lending their armoured vehicles to the police, per scanner. Awesome.
