ABC has a video up, taken from a distance, showing a lot of people lying down near the stage while others run away. Hopefully the situation isn't as bad as that suggests.

It sounds like machine gun fire. Just unreal.

Just seems so surreal. A concert, some gunfire........seems like everyone didn't know what was going on until the music stopped. I'd probably be in the same boat. Horrible.

So scary. What would you do if you were there at the concert? I guess hit the deck once the firing starts and then run as fast as you can away from the shots when it stops?

This Vegas ABC station is playing police scanner audio right now not realizing that "four nineteen" is a dead body. They presumably will not play this audio again.

LVMPD‏@LVMPD
At this time we do not believe there are any more shooters. More information to come shortly from @Sheriff_LVMPD.
12:31 am - 2 Oct 2017

Hopefully that's it. Horrible.

All you need is one person and a gun with a lot of bullets to create a lot of damage. So brutal, so sad. Hope I wake up in the morning with no more dead. Just tragic.

Vegas local shoots up county music festival with high capacity assault rifle...

Gonna be interesting to see the usual suspects defend the lack of gun laws

What? Everything I said is true...police have confirmed it was a Vegas local....it's obviously a high capacity assault rifle.

I did not speculate

The concert was being held on the east side of the Strip across from the Luxor. If he was shooting from the Mandalay Bay tower, that's at least 300m away (plus the height of the tower).

Horrifying.

My apologies, I was still reading old reports that hadn't identified the suspect yet.

The shooter was on the 32nd floor. "Las Vegas Strip and Interstate 15 were shut down and flights were temporarily halted at McCarran International Airport."

From the link I posted in the previous post "...heard what sounded like fireworks. The music stopped temporarily and started up again before another round of pops sent the performers ducking for cover and fleeing the stage."

Looks like he blew the window out of his room somehow?

LVPD press conference:

Stephen Paddock was the shooter, car located, person of interest almost certainly located.

Over 50 dead more than 200 wounded, not willing to give exact numbers “would certainly be wrong.”
