There was a shooting at the Harvest Country Music Festival in Vegas. Two people are dead, and 26& injured from gunshots fired from an assailant with an automatic weapon. Assailant not captured as I write this.
 

Its up to 20 dead now and 100 injured. They are looking for the shooter's live in companion now for more info! Can't believe this is happening!!!
 
The report just keep coming so do the Totals Killed and wounded, They said the Shooter was in his 60's, was this a bizarre Suicide by Cop? Unsure more info keeps coming in.

No reason to change their laws. The AUTOMATIC MACHINE GUN USED is already illegal in most states, actually all of the US. The user must know how to return the gun to automatic from single shot status.
 
According to the live news feed we're getting here in London from Vegas...

50 confirmed Dead... over 200 seriously wounded.

The strip has been closed completely... the hospitals are overwhelmed...

64 year old white, local man, named Stephen Paddock ... a female is believed to have been his accomplice...

they are saying that it's not clear whether the police shot him dead...or if he shot himself as the police burst into the room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel...

This is a complete an utter massacre... I sincerely hope no-one on this forum has any family or friends who have been affected by these horrible, senseless killings


R.I.P.. to all those innocents who died in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA... 1st October 2017

Well no. Semi Automatics are legal. Just keep pulling the trigger. Automatics, just hold the trigger.

Plenty of mass murders have been done with the semi-automatics which are legal.

You can have a full auto legally. But it's expensive. You need is a pre-1986 sear which will cost you 10-15 grand and a more expensive license. I know of a Doctor back in Florida (he did one of my colonoscopies in fact) that bought 14 of those sears a few years ago for $50,000 as an investment. They are probably worth about three times that much now on the gun nut market.

First I heard of this is right this minute, thanks to SF. Normally I turn the TV on first thing. Makes me feel kind of bad about joking around this morning. :(
 
We just got off the phone with our Niece in Las Vegas....she and her husband are big country music fans...and we were worried that they may have been there....luckily they didn't go there, and are OK. She said Las Vegas is in turmoil, and sirens are still going off all over town...the hospitals are swamped. We've been to Mandalay Bay several times, over the years, and I cannot fathom how someone could do something like this. It's far too early to know any of the details about the shooters motives and how he got hold of such weapons, and how he managed to set up a "shooting platform" in the hotel without raising some suspicions. There are a lot of questions that will have to be answered in coming days.
 
There are over 20 dead and 200& injured. Lone shooter, 64 yrs old, was either taken out by police or killed himself. He fired automatic weapons from the top floor of a hotel in which he was staying.

Condolences to the wounded and families and friends of the slain.

The news says this is the worst mass shooting in U.S. History.

It seems that the woman wasn't involved with this evil man after all..I suspect the police are suspicious of everyone who was near him...and rightly so of course..


This is the face of Evil , the man who has caused the single worst mass shooting in US history... by a lone gunman.

I watched this on the news at 8am. Hearing the pop pop pop of gunshots, innocent people dropping, people running for their lives. I cried. Turned it off. Bawled like a baby. I can't watch it. I can't look at his picture. I'm literally sick to my stomach. Who in the world was standing there calmly videotaping it while everyone else was scattering in a panic?
 
Horrific news, very sad. May the dead rest peacefully, condolences to the victim's families. Wishing the best for the wounded. :(

I was reading some of the comments on yahoo. Lot's of racist remarks about her because she is Asian. You would have thought she was the shooter instead of the old white guy. There are some seriously sick people out there.
