The shooting happened in Las Vegas, on the strip, overnight Sunday and into Monday. Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman tweeted “Pray for Las Vegas. Thank you to all our first responders out there now.”
It is reported now that the gunman was in the Mandalay Bay hotel on the 32nd floor and shot indiscriminately, firing hundreds of rounds for minutes on end.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified the lone suspect involved in the late- night mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip as 64-year-old, Stephen Craig Paddock, a white male from Mesquite, Nevada.
Paddock opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 concert-goers from his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel on Sunday evening at approximately 10:08 p.m. The victims were across the street attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert when bullets rang out. LVMPD SWAT responded to the call, breached the hotel room and found the suspect dead.
The Clark County Fire Department estimated that approximately 406 people were transported to area hospitals and 50 are dead following Sunday evening’s shooting. Among the dead is an LVMPD officer who was off-duty at the time. His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. There were also two on-duty officers injured, one of whom was upgraded recently from critical to stable condition. The other sustained non-life threatening wounds.
This is still an active investigation.
President Donald Trump Tweeted in the aftermath “My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!”

We may never know the real truth! The one thing I am convinced of is that we are all manipulated by the news media in this country..
Go read “The Smear” by Sharyl Attkisson, It is a factual accounting of the news and how shady political operatives and fake news control what you see, what you think, and how you vote. It is truly eye opening!
After reading her news research and how manipulative the media is, I will always question the motives of such a horrific event.
Life teaches me this one truth. People that commit these acts do NOT arrive at their beliefs overnight. They have been influenced by someone. They have discussed their views, fantasies, and desires with SOMEONE! Where are they? When will they step forward? If they don’t step forward, why not?
We still have a lot of unanswered questions.
I have been reading stories all day that say there is no way this senior citizen could have pull this off by himself. Wonder what the truth actually is
Please tell us where you have been reading this fiction?
Here you go Bodacious. I do not know if what this article says is true or not but it sure paints an interesting picture. You be the judge.

Bodacious- I must say I’m a tad disappointed that you have not commented since I posted the above link. I was looking forward to your thoughts on the article.
There were more people firing machine guns from Hotel Mandalay than my dad said were on some Normandy beaches Lone gunman – loan arranger – pigshit.
Their going to open the sealed JFK files this week I heard – Maybe in 50 years we will know what sick liberal group did this.
Clearly the answer here is easier access to more military grade weapons and less funding for mental illness treatment. Just another day in America.
Demons..
So now MSNBC cast a green hue over the shooters picture to make it out as he colored his hair and was deranged like the Colorado theater shooter. Don’t you just love how they spin shit to fit a narrative? Already the NRA is working its tentacles into fashioning this guy as the “lone wolf deranged mentally ill killer” rather than a disgruntled angry NRA type who wanted to exact revenge. I saw that same photo earlier and there was no green and yellow hair. They photoshopped it.

Bodie – you are phony.
Why would you say that? This is a satiric article but it hits hard at one of the issues we are facing in this country.
And this article is a factual hard hitting document on the same subject and hits hard at one of the libs trying to ruin our country.

So, what is your purpose in posting this? Menendez is a crook. But, he certainly isn’t the only one in Congress and there are plenty of conservatives who are also on the take. Just read today of one of those ‘holier than thou’ conservatives who is all about family values and an anti-abortionist who begged his girlfriend to get an abortion.
More leftist violence against the right. Like CNN pointed out country music fans fit stereotype of Trump supporters. Leftist leaders like Gutterez say white nationalists need to be eliminated. Then they call Trump and supporters white nationalist. The shooter was just following orders.
With so much political violence by the left we have to be extra careful. Not just Democrats but also BLM supporters and illegals. Gutterez has been telling illegals that we are white supremacists out to hurt them. Be prepared to defend yourself from them at all times.
Earl even if your postulation was true, you don’t think the Right has it coming for all the harm they’ve caused the world?
White guy, about Vietnam era age, no known criminal history or mental illness diagnosis. Quite wealthy. Turning his machine guns on country western, mostly white people. Now whatcha gonna do? Who you gonna blame?
I don’t know, but I wish you were there last night. What a punk.
That’s your answer? Watcha gonna do when they come for you?
