Yeah I'd say that the stand alone thread should be unlocked, even by American standards this is a pretty massive event.

ABC News is reporting that he is a 64 year old accountant.

From multiple news sources. Authorities say they have located 62-year-old Marilou Danley, who was wanted as a person of interest in this incident.

And they have apparently determined she wasn't involved. Although as usual with these things the reporting is chaos and facts are constantly changing.

Went to bed when they said 2 dead. Figured that was a miracle from the videos of the pop-pop-pop-pop sounds. Can't imagine being at that concert, horrifying stuff. Pretty sick and twisted people out there. 50 and surly counting now. Sad stuff

Shooter had no prior record other than a citation years ago. Lived in Mesquite NV. Officers on scene there now to search his house. He has been in Mandalay Bay since Sept. 28. Shot and killed himself before police could breach the room.

Authorities still trying to determine motivation. His partner that they had been looking for was located out of the country and they dont believe she has any involvement.

Still clearing the area and will take a while yet.

This is the biggest mass shooting in US history. It should be it's own thread.

Terribly sad and depressing with what happened in Las Vegas. Reports now say over 500 people injured.

There's an absolutely massive thread on this as it's the largest mass shooting in US history.

just a small one.

(CNN)Five people have been shot at an office park in the Maryland community of Edgewood, and the shooter is believed to be on the loose, a deputy with the Harford County sheriff's office said Wednesday morning.
The shooter left the scene -- the Emmorton Business Park in Edgewood, roughly 30 miles northeast of Baltimore -- and no one has been arrested, the deputy said.

Just a small one, 5 people. This is just getting out of control. It just doesn't seem to slow down at all.

Here is hoping they catch him/her quickly before they can hurt and kill more people.

Terrorist or ex-employee type of thing?

We passed the point of control a long time ago

At this point you could probably just say “American.” Not sure a motive is needed beyond that.

That is a good point, definitely becoming an American thing, a regular thing. Seems that there is no way to stop it or slow things down. Only thing I can think of is destroying all firearms that aren't used for hunting (semi and auto firearms, hand guns, etc). People don't need those types of weapons. These kinds of things stop being constitutional rights when the people start to abuse the right. Money and politics are destroying that country. It won't be long until we see the complete demise of the US as the most powerful country in the world. I think within the next 50 years, seems inevitable.

I tend to feel we need different terms now, maybe 3 to 6 is a mass shooting then something for else 6 to 10 and then 10 plus should have its own category, perhaps mass, horrific and catastrophic

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry at that suggestion.
