Sounded like full auto or perhaps an add on to do that function?

One news outlet is saying at least 20 dead and 100 injured...

Ive got a friend out there. His wife wasn't feeling well and they left the concert about 10 minutes before the shooting started.

Motherfucker...

Find the pricks behind this....

Radio this morning said one shooter, now dead. Police still looking for a possible companion. Reports of other related shootings on the strip are not accurate.

SUMMARY INFORMATION.... SUMMARY INFORMATION....

PLEASE DON'T QUOTE THIS IN YOUR POST... I'M UPDATING AS I HEAR NEW INFO.

I am trying to limit to information confirmed by multiple sources or statements by LV police. The MSM is reporting items that are incorrect or outdated. Not suggesting malice, simply chaos reigns. That and the MSM bullshit experts are speculating on all kinds of theories.

UPDATE

Shooter is Steven Paddock.
No criminal record.
No real social media footprint.

Report I'm watching is saying multiple machine guns.

Report I just read said “Paddock was known to local law enforcement” meaning they’ve had incidents with him before?

My thought is a 30 caliber, not 223 due to the fatality rate. Also concur full auto.

Other observations from the Forum?

Prayers for all. God Bless

I thought it sounded somewhat like an M-60, firing maybe 450 rpm. The big question inn my mind is "was the gun papered, and to whom?"

A very sad occurrence.

Horrible tragedy. Senseless.

Prayers to all affected.

Lone shooter. No apparent ties to international terrorism, very minimal social media footprint.

Updated name to ph vs v spelling.
