According to several news accounts on TV, there will be many people killed, up 20 people dead and many more injured.
Some thoughts:
During the Obama administration, they tried to take away terrorism funding saying Vegas was not a high risk for terrorism but it was eventually replaced, though at not at all.
The shooters is dead and and they are looking for an Asian woman.
The shooters is a local thug.
The shooters was on the 32nd floor and killed by the cops. That is pretty amazing considering the size of the hotel.
The sheriff's has said there are over 20 dead and hundred injured. Some people were trampled.
Two on duty officers were shot and several off duty cops have been killed.
There were also terrorist attacks in Edmonton, Canada and in France this weekend.
Update: now they are saying over 50 have died and 200+ injured. As stated in my previous post, my ex-wife works at a local tpuotupn room and they are swamped with patients. My guess this is true all across the valley.
The suspect is Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, NV.,which is located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, by the NV, AZ and Utah. It is also near the standoff of a few years ago with right wing extremists. Not sure if this connected.
Paddock has a clean court records in Nevada and Arizona.
Update: Now 58 dead and 500 injured. It has to be in the top 5 terrorist attack in the U.S..
