LAS VEGAS – A shooting at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 200 others late Sunday, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said. It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. He said the man authorities think was the sole gunman was killed by police on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a country music festival. "We believe it's a solo actor. A lone wolf," Lombardo said. He said the gunman is an area resident. Law enforcement sources told CBS News a search warrant has been issued for the home of the shooter, identified as Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that at this point, it doesn't appear the shooting was an act of terrorism. The suspect was known to police in Mesquite and had a criminal history, the sources said. Lombardo said authorities believe they had found a traveling companion of the deceased gunman they were seeking, who Lombardo identified as Marilou Danley. Law enforcement sources tell Milton that Danley was Paddock's wife. Lombardo added that authorities had tracked down two vehicles believed associated with the shooting. Two off-duty police officers attending the concert were killed, Lombardo said. An on-duty officer was in critical condition and another was wounded, Lombardo said. A Bakersfield, California police officer was shot and taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Bakersfield department said its officers weren't in position to return fire when the shooting broke out. The FBI and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were assisting local authorities with the investigation, the agencies said. The White House issued a statement saying President Trump "has been briefed on the horrific tragedy in Las Vegas. We are monitoring the situation closely and offer our full support to state and local officials. All of those affected are in our thoughts and prayers." Dozens of patrol vehicles descended on the Strip after authorities received reports of an active shooter near the festival. Concert-goers reported seeing muzzle flashes from the upper floors of the Mandalay Bay and the sound of what they described as automatic gunfire. Fifty people were admitted to the University Medical Center, a spokesperson told CBS News. Of those, at least two died and several were in critical condition, the spokesperson added. CBS News has been told at least three other area hospitals were taking in shooting victims. People run from Route 91 Harvest country music festival after gunfire was heard on October 1, 2017 in Las Vegas Country singer Jason Aldean was playing near the end of the concert when gunfire began. Later, he took to Instragram, saying, "Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still dont know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that Me and my Crew are safe. My Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight. It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night. One witness told CBS Las Vegas affiliate KLAS-TV he or she heard nearly 100 rounds fired off. Witnesses at the music festival told the station they heard what sounded like firecrackers going off, but they were rounds fired from a gun. Witnesses told KLAS people were also seen running with injuries and blood. Kodiak Yazzie, 36, said he and his girlfriend were watching Aldean's performance when he heard what sounded like fireworks. The music stopped temporarily and started up again before another round of pops sent the performers ducking for cover and fleeing the stage. Thousands fled as bursts of gunfire could be heard for more than five minutes, Yazzie said. Jose Baggett, 31, a Las Vegas resident, said he and a friend were in the lobby of the Luxor hotel-casino - directly north of the festival - when people began running. He said people were crying and as he and his friend walked away, they encountered police checkpoints where officers were carrying shotguns and assault rifles. "There were armored personnel vehicles, SWAT vehicles, ambulances, and at least a half-mile of police cars," Baggett said. Witnesses said they saw multiple victims and dozens of ambulances near the concert venue. Some attendees later huddled in the basement of the nearby Tropicana hotel-casino. Officers carrying assault rifles ran into the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. This is a developing story and will be updated.

Either a muzzie, a Manchurian, or the guy does NOT like country music. Who knows, we may never know the truth of this horrendous event, Really sad, a terrible event !!!! We should all pray for the poor souls that were killed & their families, and for the speedy recovery of those injured !!! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

I'm going with #2. White guy, 64, no criminal record. Man, listening to the sound of the machine gun fire sounded like a real war zone. And the band members and audience thought it was firworks? This is becoming a highly pathetic statement in these incidents. If this dosen't qualify, what does?
50 dead. 200 shot. At a public concert. If that's not terrorism, then what does the word even mean?
Maybe it just means that there is no political motivation involved. If a 64-year-old white guy has a grudge against Vegas casinos, country music or whatever, does that make his shooting of 100's of random victims a "terrorist act" or just the actions of someone who is insane? Already the MSM is making the claim that semi-automatic weapons can be "easily" (their word) converted to full auto. Yeah, that would be my guess as well. We can expect to see renewed calls for more gun control / bans. Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

I'm going with #2. White guy, 64, no criminal record. Well,it has now been reported that he does have a criminal record,but the fact that he was married to a black woman who went by a different last name adds weight to the Manchurian Candidate possibility. Was she his handler? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
This is becoming a highly pathetic statement in these incidents. If this dosen't qualify, what does? Well,it's no secret that the people there being fired on with automatic weapons were terrifed. Especially if they had never been fired at before. "An act of terrorism" is defined as a political act where innocent lives are taken to promote a political or religious POV. As some famous commie whose ID escapes me at the moment once said,"The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize". People who are terrified lose faith in the ability of their government to protect them,which leads to political instability. Instability can lead to revolution,and revolution is what gives commies all over the world wood. Providing of course the purpose of the revolution is NOT to overthrow a communist police state. THAT they crack down on like a duck on a June Bug. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Terrorism is defined as an act of political terror,designed to destabilize a government in order to ferment revolution. This was mass murder. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I have already heard one airhead talking head bitch say on teebee that "deadly copper-tipped bullets were used." We need to force all these people outside during a hard rain storm,and force them to look up by telling them there is something shiny in the sky. With any luck at all most of them will drown. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Also interesting that the type of weapon, and the caliber has not been identified yet.

Until a motive is determined, you are right Pete.
Maybe pharmaceutical drugs are involved?
From my limited knowledge, it didn't sound like an AK-47 - I own one of those and have bump fired it a few times. This was not someone bump-firing a semi-auto. I'm reading that he had 10 rifles. Las Vegas Gun Laws: Open Carry, Concealed Weapon, Machine Guns All Legal in Nevada Nevada has some of the most-relaxed gun laws in the country, a legislative condition that is sure to come under renewed scrutiny n the wake of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history on Sunday night in Las Vegas. Nevada law does not require firearms owners to have licenses, register their weapons, or limits the number of firearms an individual posses. Automatic assault weapons and machine guns are also legal in the state as long as they are registered and are possessed in adherence to federal law, according to the National Rifle Association. Nevada does not prohibit the transfer or possession of assault weapons, 50 caliber rifles or large capacity ammunition magazines. Local law enforcement issues concealed handgun licenses. Open carry is legal without a permit. I'd bet money on it. Psychotropic drugs are a factor in virtually all mass shootings. Stephen went to college and started a business before retiring to the Las Vegas area because he liked gambling, Eric Paddock said. "He has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know," Eric Paddock also said to The Daily Mail. This was mass murder. Ok. But do we know the shooter's motivation?
As though those affected will take comfort in knowing the shooter's motive was or was not political in nature? Paying attention to such things as though it matters is something only for those deep-staters that put the government ahead of the people it serves. The guy was messed up. His brain was screwy, either because of drugs or mental illness. It's one or the other. But thanks for clarifying what they mean by "terrorism". It's just a farce though.
Former Green Beret on Las Vegas massacre: Wouldn't be surprised if shooter was trained None that I have heard. Personally, I am leaning toward him being a Manchurian. His age, the fact that the weapons etc were placed in the room in advance, etc. It was reported that he was a recent convert to Islam. Too much of a quinky dink. Also, from what I have seen, some are saying he was taken out by LEO, some say he shot him self. Do not know which report is correct. If he was a Manchurian, they would NOT want him to survive! Too weird. If he was a manchurian, there could be any number of reasons someone would want him to perform such an act. We may never know the truth of this incident.

It has been reported that he was Coo Coo for Coco Puffs. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Yeah, I'm seeing those reports now too. Also, apparently his father was an FBI 10-Most-Wanted criminal for years, so there's some bad seed issues here.
"Stephen Paddock worked for a predecessor company of Lockheed Martin from 1985 until 1988," the company tells ABC in a statement. "We’re cooperating with authorities to answer questions they may have about Mr. Paddock and his time with the company." Paddock was also a licensed hunter and private pilot. He owned an aircraft that he kept at Mesquite Metro Airport in Texas from 2007 to 2009. “I do not recall that he was ever a person who created any problems for us,” the airport director told ABC News. “He kept his accounts up to date and we never had any problems with him here." www.yahoo.com/gma/las-veg...-abc-news-topstories.html Among the many corporate donors to President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Committee was Lockheed Martin Corp. The Bethesda defense firm, under the name LMC IP with an address matching that of Lockheed's (NYSE: LMT) headquarters, donated $1 million on Jan. 10, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission. Lockheed officials were not immediately available for comment.

0 4 The Las Vegas shooter didn’t commit suicide as the mainstream media is reporting, but was killed by a FBI hostage rescue team who also found Antifa literature in his hotel room, according to a source linked to the team. The FBI team took the suspect out after he opened fired on them, according to the source, and afterwards the team found photos taken in the Middle East of a woman linked to the suspect, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock. A police scanner transcript (from the Daily Mail) collaborates with the source’s revelation: And the Daily Mail reported: ISIS recently took responsibility for the mass shooting, and the AP even admitted ISIS doesn’t take responsibility unless it’s at least loosely associated with the attack: View image on Twitter View image on Twitter Follow Paul Joseph Watson ✔@PrisonPlanet AP: ISIS "is not known to have claimed any attacks to which it was not at least loosely linked." 11:24 AM - Oct 2, 2017 104 104 Replies 583 583 Retweets 959 959 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy Even further, a deep-level intelligence insider who spoke to Infowars said the attack was “very, very strange.” According to the intel source: This was an average 64-year-old white male with no criminal record. He was an apartment owner with a pilot’s license and owned two airplanes. His brother described him as an average person who was not into firearms and never owned that many guns. He claimed he just, “snapped.” His hotel room was filled with guns, including several long guns. Where did those guns come from? But, this was clearly a pre-planned attack and the group [the target] was specifically chosen. The target was a concert of the group that represents traditional America. These were patriotic, God-fearing Americans. This group is pro-Second amendment, pro-Constitution and anti-NWO. This is the group Obama accused of “Clinging to their guns and religion.” We are still awaiting all the facts, but the concern is we have seen the government engage in false flags events in the past, and an example of this is CIA Operation Gladio in Italy. As I examined the 9/11 attacks, I was forced to reach the conclusion that it was more than just a terrorist attack. It has finger prints of a possible false flag event itself. So, sadly we now have to consider that as a possibility here. That is a dramatic conclusion and one that most Americans cannot get their mind around. It is just too shocking. We can be sure this will increase the Shadow Government’s surveillance state, specifically inside the United States. Interestingly, as previously reported, the mainstream media was already in Las Vegas to cover the OJ Simpson release right before the shooting occurred.
Caller Rick on Michael Savage was next door neighbor in Mesquite, says the shooter was "a Trump fan", and a patsy. He didn't do it. Just a dead body in a hotel room.
I can't hear it maybe you guys can. Ok I'll watch the rest of the video.
That would explain the choice of a country music concert venue to shoot up.
I will probably regret it but I gave this video "legs" at other sites. :-) It's either a fabrication, huge coincidence or not. The good news is such a video would have been ignored by emperor Zer0 but there is a new sheriff in town. And it needs to be looked at not because it's political, but because it relates to protecting POTUS.
