Mass Shooting in Las Vegas - 58 Dead at Least 515 Injured, Suspect Killed - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;52737755]Man, the reporters constantly asking for the identity must be pissing the sheriff off[/QUOTE] He seems really pissed. [QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;52737756]i wonder why she went to the concert and said "y'all gonna die" Was it a threat or a warning? That's really strange.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing she was threatening people.

Any update about the supposed car bomb at the Luxor?

[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;52737752]Fuck, my friend is on the strip posting updates. Haven't seen an attack in America this coordinated in years.[/QUOTE] There was an attack earlier this year or last year - don't remember where, but it was also pretty coordinated. I remember police taking sniper fire from more than one location. Dallas I think it was? Hopefully won't be seeing another type of attack like this for a good long while though this is fucked

[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;52737763]Any update about the supposed car bomb at the Luxor?[/QUOTE] Not a bomb.

Fuck those machine gun sounds are so chilling.

[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;52737763]Any update about the supposed car bomb at the Luxor?[/QUOTE] I think it tapered off. People where panicking and reporting everything. There was supposedly "confirmed" reports coming from Ceasers, New York New York and some other casinos. But they all turned out to be nothing. There was one female officer who confirmed shots over the radio, and then dispatch yelled at her, then she admitted she hadn't heard any shots.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52737762] I'm guessing she was threatening people.[/QUOTE] Yeah but if she was on board with it surely that'd just put everyone on alert and put whatever fucking cause they're acting for in danger. That doesn't make any sense.

I'm curious if this is related to anything else, though. There has been this, the van attack in Canada and the train station attack in france all within the last 24 hours. [QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;52737774]Yeah but if she was on board with it surely that'd just put everyone on alert and put whatever fucking cause they're acting for in danger.

They likely thought she was either drunk, or crazy and booted her out.

I think the title should be changed to reflect the latest news.

He kept shifting positions, making it seem like there was more than one shooter.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;52737778]I think the title should be changed to reflect the latest news.[/QUOTE] I keep trying to update it, but it doesn't stick. Mods will have to change it.

I heard some people say the shooter was asian though, which, if that's true, makes that unlikely, but i'm not sure what else that leaves. RAF tier communists is the only other thing i can think of. And if that's the case, boy howdy. Be ready for Mcarthyism V2, electric boogaloo.

I was just there last weekend. Jesus Christ. I hope the injured pull through. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

No info on the shooter. Did you even listen to the fucking news? And FYI Asian is a fucking huge range, so don't go speculating if the person is from any particular part.

[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;52737756]i wonder why she went to the concert and said "y'all gonna die" Was it a threat or a warning? That's really strange.[/QUOTE] I could see it being a warning. Assuming she had just found out from her roommate about this, she could have ran to the concert to try to get it shut down, not thinking clearly enough out of shock, to just call the cops. She seems to have charged in to the venue, pushed her way to the very front(where she could potentially reach someone with a microphone, or an event organiser), argued with another woman(perhaps because that woman told her to quite causing a ruckus which frustrated her since she was trying to help?), and then as a last resort tried to warn everyone by telling them they were going to die tonight. This sequence of events makes me think that she made a failed attempt to warn everyone, before forcibly taken out of the concert. In the 45 minutes til the shooting, she could done one of two things: 1.She could have continued to try to reach the right people to no avail 2.She could have prepared with the actual shooter for the shooting I'd like to think she tried to help, but I suppose the police will find out for themselves.

[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;52737798]i'm just relaying speculation, not presenting it as fact[/QUOTE] DON'T. Its not going to help, its going to lead to coming up with bullshit ideas and rumours. Just stick to what's reported.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52737777]I'm curious if this is related to anything else, though. There has been this, the van attack in Canada and the train station attack in france all within the last 24 hours. [/QUOTE] those events might had embolden them to act tonight then be apart of the other attackers. I remember going to school and telling us that if one person comes around with a gun there could be a copycat in time.

Hang on, where did y'all get the idea that the lady that said 'everyone's gonna die' is the suspect that the police is having interest in? Its a coincidence at this point. No confirmation.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;52737805]Hang on, where did y'all get the idea that the lady that said 'everyone's gonna die' is the suspect that the police is having interest in? Its a coincidence at this point. No confirmation.[/QUOTE] It seems to be more than coincidence. But who knows for certain. Hopefully the police can talk to the woman who said this. See if they can have her ID the woman.

Best to hold off until morning. I'm sure by then the PD will have a profile out.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52737806]It seems to be more than coincidence. But who knows for certain. Hopefully the police can talk to the woman who said this.

The officials have no information at this point, and are you trying to say you have better intelligence from a clip you saw, as opposed to law enforcements? Jesus.

The gunshots in those videos are haunting.

That warning applies to everybody. Right now, speculation only confuses things. Stick to the facts as reported or you'll be removed from the thread.

Lot of people in the gun community are saying that, if the audio is correct and it wasn't something super customized, the shooter was using a rifle with Bump Fire, which is a special type of stock/grip that basically speeds up the rate of fire with the recoil of the gun. A good example of this in action is at 1:45 [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrqSno35faU[/media] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Lots of people in the gun community are speculating, and we just warned against that three times on this page." - Big Dumb American))[/highlight] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Lots of people in the gun community are speculating, and we just warned against that three times on this page." - Big Dumb American))[/highlight]

-snip- What a mess this situation is... Hope it's over soon.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52737824]You should follow your own advice. My warning wasn't just for Trilby. It was for everyone. Next post about speculation and/or shoe horning misinformation or off topic will be banned from now on.[/QUOTE] Seriously. How is it shoehorning or bogus? The PD are looking for a woman who was very likely working with the shooter. The fact that this person said she saw a woman getting into a verbal conflict with another woman and then shouting "You're all gonna die tonight" right before a mass shooting happen, BEFORE the police report came out saying they where looking for a woman is pretty suspicious. Its well within reason to consider it to be more than just random chance. When I said best to hold off until morning, I meant about the shooter possible motives.
