Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just watching the news and saw where over 50 people were killed in a mass shooting in Vegas last night. After watching some videos, I can't believe the terror those concert goers were experiencing! Thoughts and prayers to all of those people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just heartbreaking. Many lives will forever be changed because of this idiot. 50 dead and over 400 injured (and rising). Just a shame. We all can agree these things have to stop but it's almost like we now just accept these types of events happen and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Was following, from early in the a.m. and continuous . When I started watching, it was reported as 5 killed, and 20 wounded. Watched as those numbers continued to rise all morning. Prayers to all the victims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Seeking, and rising is correct. Now.... up to 500+ injured ! Lot's of families' lives have been disrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlerHoosier Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have followed in the news. That is such a tragedy. Please pray for the victims families. First and foremost. I am not trying to be a conspiracy theorist. So please don't think I am trying to take away from what is such a huge and absolutely dispicable tragedy but there are things that don't add up to me. Actual people there report multiple shooters. A woman 45 minutes before the tragedy was yelling you are all going to die. 2 windows of the hotel blown out in separate rooms. A 64 year old man that had only one minor traffic violation that was living in a retirement home just went off the reservation first. Then second why over 10 guns? How could he have even carried that many? One automatic with a huge amount of clips would be sufficent enough. Next reports from the victims said all exits were blocked off. Further from the victims stating lights from the stage were shining on them during the shooting. So all of these things don't pass the smell test to me.

milehiiu Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The gal saying what she did 45 minutes earlier has been verified. The report of multiple shooters was due to the echo of the shooter, coming off of surrounding tall buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prayers go out to all families affected. Terrible. Just shaking my head. May 4, 1970. The Kent State massacre. Nothing personal. Just a reminder that Las Vegas is nothing new. Been shaking my head for decades now. Close to home ..... lived thru Columbine. My son went to 3 funerals. And of course the senseless theater shooting in Aurora. That one, we had two friends leave the theater early, about 10 minutes before the shooting started, other wise who knows what would have happened to them.

milehiiu Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Each American tragedy brings on new levels of security. 9/11 brought on the TSA. Columbine brought on security checks in schools, and courthouses. Now, IMHO, Las Vegas should bring on bag checks in certain hotels across the country. Learn by our tragedies.

Well aware of all that stuff. The magnitude of this incident is over whelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Though I posted that the reports of multiple shooters was incorrect, and that the sounds were just echos of surrounding buildings. That may not be correct, after all. Reports continue that there may have been multiple shooters. You tube video of a lady cab driver videoing while in the cab lane at Mandalay Bay. Shot fired from a distance, and then close up. And then a combination of close and distant firing. Also, a you tube video of the Bellagio, under lock down, as glass was shattered on the first floor, and people lying on the floor to avoid being hit. Many other reports of multiple shooters as well.
