    50+ people killed when a man opened fire on a concert in Las Vegas

    Sorry if there's already a thread, I did search but my MDS skills are pretty rusty at the moment.


    I'm confused about how long ago this happened because people seem to be freaking
    out on Twitter like there's still a threat right now (which is how I found out about it) but this news article is time-stamped 6.54am 1Oct? Even with my time difference to Las Vegas (it's 5.32pm 2 Oct where I am), it seems this was first posted quite a few hours ago? So either there's a fuckup with the timestamp, or the shooter/s has been running around for hours

    Edit, duh I should've said it was published 6.54am 2 Oct & I now realise it's London time - so yeah, it's pretty recent & ongoing

    FULL VICTIM LIST HERE --

    http://mydeathspace.com/vb/showthrea...ng-Victim-List





    Multiple people have been shot after a gunman opened fire in the Mandalay Bay area of Las Vegas. Video from the scene shows the moment that the gunfire started during a festival in the Nevada city. What sounds like some kind of machine gun can be heard over the noise of the music which quickly cuts out. The gunman is said to have opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival where people were seen running for cover or lying on the ground. People are being urged to stay away from the Strip following the incident which happened while a country music concert was taking place. Police tweeted: ?We?re investigating reports of an active shooter near/around Mandalay Bay Casino. Asking everyone to please avoid the area.?

    The news here is reporting that there are shootings being reporting at other sites on the strip now. One gunman is dead but they think there may be more

    Edit : oops, sorry Leap, I crossposted


    DailyMail US is saying that one suspect is dead on the 32nd floor of the hotel. They've collected some of the pix & vidz people tweeted & published them in this article.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...er_dailymailus

    It's crazy & confusing. Lots of people are reporting active shooters in other areas so it's really hard to tell exactly what's going on

    Edit : I'm going to add vid links from twitter here instead of multi posting.

    News on this is so confusing as it seems no one really seems to know what is going on. Sounds like they are going room to room at the Mandalay looking for the shooter.

    They have that Route91 festival thing going on there right now. I'm listening to a live steam audio, sounds like a shooter may have went over to the Mirage-? Not 100% sure about that though.. still listening. I Heard lots of reports of people still stuck all over in different locations at the Mandalay, about 1200 just inside the Michael Jackson theater alone.

    The Guardian has a good live update page.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...latest-updates

    They say LVPD have confirmed one shooter is down - presumably the guy on the 32nd floor, which makes sense if this is accurate

    Concert-goers reported seeing muzzle flashes from the upper floors of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across Las Vegas Boulevard from the country music festival and the sound of what they described as automatic gun fire.

    I just saw an interview with a fire fighter who was on the scene (he wasn't working, he just stepped in to help when it all went down) and he said he pronounced 15-20 people dead.

    They are saying the shooter is a local resident and is dead. And they are looking for his companion, Marilou Danley. They haven't found her yet.

    FB is saying the shooter was a G D. I found his FB but won't post until it's confirmed.

    https://www.facebook.com/marilou.danley?ref=br_rs - I think this is her

    They're saying Asian female, 4'11' so that profile is probably right. & if it is, she was a casino employee.

    What is it with Las Vegas & crazy shooter couples


    Edit : & she's a grandma?? WTF??

    Las Vegas concert goer says a woman told her and group of friends, ?you?re all going to die tonight,? 45 minutes before shooting.

    Link to vid of interview

    Edit : I guess at this point there's no way to know if these people are actually the shooters, or if they were attacked too so the shooter could use their room? Their ages do make me wonder - I mean it's not impossible, but it's kind of unusual

    If it turns out it was them, fuck her, but if it's not, I hope she's OK.

    Definitely the right fb for Marilou

    Police seeking Marilou Danley for questioning in Sunday's mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip. If you see her, call 911 immediately!



    The address they gave out for her also matches with an address for a Stephen Paddock, aged 64

    Some people are sharing details for a Stephen Paddock born in '68 who they say shared the same address.

    A younger guy would make more sense, but the details on all of them are so sketchy at the moment it's a certainty some of it's going to be wrong. Hopefully it doesn't fuck up any innocent parties this time.

    At least 50 killed. A lot of the injured are in surgery, and they might not make it.

    This is so terrifying. These people were sitting ducks out there. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. How fucking sad that this shit happens. Makes me want to never go out to large events.

    This is fucking insane. Also super disgusted that there are people on twitter making fake "missing person" tweets with random pictures and then joking about people falling for it.

    WTF is wrong with people? This is so tragic. Sounds like the public took things into their own hands and transported victims to the hospital because there were just so many victims that EMT's etc couldn't get to all of them. You just don't expect to go to Vegas and get murdered in a mass shooting.

    Her facebook didn't really have anything on it except some selfies. Daily Mail posted all the selfies she had.

    This is the news I woke up this morning.

    According to the news this morning, paddock is dead and they're unsure if the woman was there with him. I did read a report this morning, somewhere, that stated that witnesses saw a woman in the crowd screaming at them that they're all going to die. I'm gonna try to find that again and post it.

    Here it is.

    https://www.mediaite.com/tv/las-vega...before-attack/

    A woman screamed at a crowd of Las Vegas concertgoers that they were “all going to die tonight” just 45 minutes before a gunman opened fire, killing at least 50, according to a concertgoer interviewed by KSNV, NBC’s Las Vegas affiliate.

    Brianna Hendricks, who attended the Route 91 Harvest Festival with her mother to celebrate her 21st birthday, described the moment a woman screamed “they’re all around…you’re all going to fucking die today,” as reported the Daily Mail.

    “There was a lady who pushed her way forward into the concert venue and into the first row, and she started messing with another lady, and told us that we were all going to die tonight,” Hendricks told KSNV.

    “It was about 45 minutes before the shots were actually fired,” she continued. “But then she was escorted out by security.”

    Hendricks and her mother left the concert before the shooting began, and heard the shots ring out just as they returned to their room.

    “Obviously she was telling us that — either to warn us, or to warn us that we were all going to die and she was part of it,” Hendricks added.

    Hendricks described the woman and a man she was with as Hispanic and about 5-foot-5.

    When asked why the pair had been escorted out, Hendricks replied: “Because she had been messing with the lady in front of her and telling her that she was going to die. That we were all going to die.”

    “None of us knew that it was going to be serious.”

    At around 10 p.m. Sunday, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock fired on concertgoers during a during a performance by country musician Jason Aldean. Police said more that 50 people were killed in the attack — with over 200 injured — making it the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
