Terror on the Strip! Sniper guns down concert goers ...

There's too many things off here that makes me think we don't have even half the story here yet - motive??? A possible brain tumor, untreated mental illness (unlikely, given his age), what? The ISIS link is looking very weak, he is old for a mass murderer, and how did he get all those guns up in the suite past hotel security? They monitor your every move in that town.

And it took LEO seventy-two minutes to reach the room - why, and when did he stop shooting and turn the gun on himself? Need much more detail here.

 

777 Where did find that info - 72 minutes? Do you have a link.

Thanks

Yeah, I guess that is why I was waiting to comment. But just speculating here, but I could get most any weapon in a room with a golf bag (the hotel next door had a golf course) and perhaps a guitar case. But even if they were prone to being searched, most guns break down to the size that any large hard cased suitcase could carry them.

The time frame is (72 minutes) has be wondering, is that the time from the first shot to when the police entered the room or to when the police gave the "all clear" call. Because it takes a while to give an "all clear"... From what I have seen, the shooting lasted about 8 minutes (give or take 2 minutes)... The smoke detector gave the room number away (shoot that many rounds in a room and it produces heavy smoke).

We are just gonna have to wait for more details...

Was happy to see the jerk CBS lady that applauded the shootings was fired. She was happy it was those durn country music fans killed because they tend to vote conservative. Pretty sick.

 

Yeah, I know who you mean - that attorney VP, just hope Mueller doesn't hire the fool.

Here, who knows if it's accurate? I think the fog of war thing is still on.

 

I can take a few pieces of metal and some simple shop tools and convert a gun to fully automatic from YouTube videos. Just how many laws do you want changed? You can't change human nature via laws Crabtownboy. Once again a bad guy was upended via what? A good guy with a gun confronting him (the police this time).

The fellow if he wanted to could of took a tube like what wrapping paper comes on and taped it to the end of his gun and stuffed it with twinkies and had a ready made silencer for under 5 bucks. Some sub-sonic ammo (223) and blamo, they are almost silent. Gun laws are just stupid and only hurt law abiding citizens.

This fellow bought guns from several states (including California which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation). He knew how to circumvent semi-fire and he didn't care for human life and he had the means to put his plan in action. Not much the LV police or any police/politician could do about it.

 

Works for the left. I quit mourning the second someone mentions restricting my Constitutionally guaranteed rights.

 

We don't have 1/10th the story. What is obvious is Law Enforcement botched this one terribly.

 

Why is that?

 

It took them over 70 minutes to stop an active shooter? Pitiful! Two Windows are busted out and they can't find the shooter until a smoke alarm goes off??? They forget how to count?

 

This is an awful, tragic event with no reasonable explanation. Upset his family amines the lives of so many. All can do is pray. We are under a cloud of plague.

 

Thanks again 777

Uh, it was at night, even if the building was partially lit up the broken windows were probably not visible.

several of the victims/witnesses said they didn't know where the shots were coming from so it was probably not evident, the building was 1500 feet from the concert. Some former military said they were able to center in the fire as coming from the building.

Its never dark on the strip.

 

I know, but some things are not quite visible either in the night time light of the strip.

Well this didn't take long ... conspiracy theory!

more than one shooter;

Las Vegas: Video Confirms Multiple Shooters, Co-ordinated Attack

 

Wonder how he fixed the glass?

 

Probably the 4th floor windows opened - weren't sealed.

It's a conspiracy theory, it doesn't have to make sense!
