Stay strong Las Vegas.

I'm looking at a map. McCarran is much closer than two miles. It is directly to the east.

It's a very big airport. It's 2 miles to the terminal.

About to be a media briefing here by the LVMPD.

Media Briefing just delayed by 45 minutes to an hour; they are moving the briefing site down the block.

 

[superdeluxe]

Witness heard gunfire for 5 minutes:

Did they just say the news conference wasn't gonna be for another 45mins to an hour? The FB feed dropped.

edit:

Well there we go.

For whatever reason they are having all of the media move across the compound where they will put everything back up for the news conference. So yeah they say 45 mins to an hour Sheriff should be available. No guarantee tho

Can't wait for the NRA to tell us how this wouldn't have occurred if the victims had carried automatic rifles, too.

Which is obviously why these mass shootings with assault weapons don't happen in Europe at regular intervals.

Is already happening on social media.
The nutshell summary appears to be:
America has too many guns already
Therefore you can't ban them because then only criminals will have them
Therefore many more people need to carry and learn how to protect themselves.

So judging by the videos of this event festival goers made a mistake not bringing in their scoped SCAR with starlight goggles.

I think it would be surprising if there are only 2 fatalities. 20+ seems more realistic.

Let's wait until that is confirmed by multiple sources or by authorities before we spread the information broadly.

 

[MetatronM]

Briefing is happening now.

 

[joshcryer]

Presser live now: http://www.ktnv.com/livestream

 

[Green Yoshi]

I think it would be surprising if there are only 2 fatalities. 20+ seems more realistic.

Even if there were no shooters on the ground but only one shooter on the 32th floor?

 

[MThanded]

Shooter is a local resident.

Looking for female companion.

 

[MisterFalcon]

Shooting from a hotel room seems very unlike ISIS while everything else screams ISIS.

Probably someone with no combat experience. All the mass killings were done at close range.

 

[kmax]

Suspect is a local resident.

 

[JettDash]

Even if there were no shooters on the ground but only one shooter on the 32th floor?

Yeah, firing from an elevated position into a crowd seems like a good way to kill a lot of people.

 

[xfactor99]

According to the sheriff, suspect has a female companion who they are looking for. Also a missing car.

He also confirms well in excess of 100 injured, at least 20 killed.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

The Danley name was confirmed. Now person of interest.

 

[Spinoff90]

I think it would be surprising if there are only 2 fatalities. 20+ seems more realistic.

The two deaths were reported by the hospital so likely people that died in transit or during surgery. So yeah the number is bound to go up a lot when we get numbers of deaths on scene.

Edit: And as I was typing that more than 20 confirmed now

 

[Kadin]

Woah. In excess of 20 dead and over 100 injured.

From the news conference.

 

[MThanded]

More than 20 people have died.

100+ people injured.

 

[Korey]

Cops just confirmed 20+ dead.

 

[Caramello]

Confirmation of 100+ injured, 20+ dead.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

More than 20 people have died.

FUCK my heart is with the families I always wish we could help in some capacity but theirs nothing we can do...

 

[Spenny]

100+ injured, 20+ dead. Fuck.

 

[Javaman]

Damn, 20+ dead according to the briefing.

 

[Chirotera]

I think it would be surprising if there are only 2 fatalities. 20+ seems more realistic.

Was just confirmed. 20+ dead. 100+ injured.

 

[zsynqx]

Shit

 

[Farsi]

100+ injured, 20+ dead. Fuck.

Oh my god almighty.

 

[Dmax3901]

Fuck.

 

[hamauzu kaito]

100+ injured, 20+ deceased confirmed.

Multiple off duty officers expired.

 

[RangerX]

Jesus christ fuckin twenty dead. The cop talking here sounds really emotional, as you would be.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I'm so sorry, Vegas.

 

[antonz]

They are still finding injured people on the police radio. Such pointless violence

 

[Lanrutcon]

According to the sheriff, suspect has a female companion who they are looking for. Also a missing car.

He also confirms well in excess of 100 injured, at least 20 killed.

These numbers are more along what I expected, given the expenditure of ammunition in the clips.

 

[Syranth]

Ok so now that the police have announced it, yes. Over 20 dead at the fairgrounds that hadn't been reported previously.

 

[ronco2000]

Jesus christ fuckin twenty dead. The cop talking here sounds really emotional, as you would be.

I can feel his pain by his voice.

 

[Vectorman]

Jesus christ fuckin twenty dead. The cop talking here sounds really emotional, as you would be.

He has a right to be. A couple off-duty officers are dead and some are in critical condition. Those are his men.

 

[Fliesen]

Jesus christ fuckin twenty dead. The cop talking here sounds really emotional, as you would be.

He looks, both, incredibly sad, but also very frustrated / mad that reporters are immediately trying to sensationalize this by asking for the "belief system" of the shooter.

 

[Kadin]

Ok so now that the police have announced it, yes. Over 20 dead at the fairgrounds that hadn't been reported previously.

Yeah I saw your comment earlier and didn't want to believe it but it sounded like you had a good source.

 

[Jzero]

Why does this keep happening, these people should kill themselves instead of hurting others. One of my friends was there but thankfully she's okay, kinda glad the Facebook Crisis Response thing exists.

 

[MThanded]

Seems like people online knew about the associate's name 2 hours ago.

 

[JettDash]

I hate to say it but I fear 20+ will turn into like 50.

 

[17 Seconds]

wow, so the story about a girl telling the audience they were going to die might be true. fucked up.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Jesus fucking Christ

No words

 

[scitek]

He has a right to be. A couple off-duty officers are dead and some are in critical condition. Those are his men.

The off-duty cops were from Bakersfield, I believe.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

wow, so the story about a girl telling the audience they were going to die might be true. fucked up.

?????

 

[Kyoufu]

Horrible. Just horrible.

 

[17 Seconds]

okay you can stop rooting for it

 

[Figboy79]

Wow. This is heartbreaking. I have family and friends who live in Vegas, and others visiting. I haven’t heard anything yet, but my heart and prayers go out to everyone.

Awful.
