Las Vegas strip shooting: More than 20 dead, 100 injured near Mandalay Bay casino
ABC News ^ | October 2, 2017 | KARMA ALLEN EMILY SHAPIRO

More than 20 people were killed and 100 injured in a horrific shooting near the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Sunday night, police said. The "nonstop gunfire," according to one witness, sent bystanders outside the resort on the Vegas strip ducking for cover and fleeing for their lives. Tourists hid in their hotel rooms and flights headed into the McCarran International Airport airport were held elsewhere. Bystanders sprang into action, caring for the wounded and at least one described someone dying in their arms. Videos filmed by onlookers gave a window into the chaos that ensued, with some thinking that fireworks were going off. The final night of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival was taking place across the street from Mandalay Bay when the shooting took place and concertgoers were caught off-guard. In the wake of the shooting, the Las Vegas Police Department said that "one suspect is down" and they did not believe there were any more shooters.

If Geary Danley is shooter, then he appears to be a Trump hater.

Yet false reports flying around internet that shooter was white supremacist.

This appears more in the pattern of the Steve Scalise shooting in the sense that the shooter was a disturbed Trump hater.

Las Vegas strip will likely now go full gun control. Not much choice otherwise that I can see that will keep the crowds coming back.

Will be interesting to learn how the shooter was able to get an assault weapon into the scene given that there are cameras EVERYWHERE in LV Strip hotels and security monitors every detail.

Yes, and her husband is pictured above, a Trump hater.

Now watch the liar media continue alleging the shooter was a white supremacist.

Another madman.

There is also a news clip of a witness at the concert who said that a woman approached them and told people that they were all going to die. Police are now looking for the suspects wife. Perhaps they were in it together, a folie a deux.

Leftist, similar to shooter of Scalise, James Hodgkinson.

Same disturbed profile but watch media liars allege he was a white supremacist.

Difference is that Hodgkinson was targeting republicans, while Danley (if shooter) was randomly targeting vacationers.

Watch for subject to be shifted by media towards gun control.

If this was indeed an automatic weapon I don’t think there is anything more the government can do to control them.

Danley’s could be renters.

Stephen Paddock could be innocent.

No accident it was a country music festival. To the left country music=Trump supporters=Nazi/white supremecist=OK to kill.

I can’t get any confirmation on the Geary Danley guy who was apparently doxxed on 4chan.

Totally right. But at least it looks like this might be where this woman lives.

Need to be careful but police did put out they are searching for Marilou Danley and Geary Danley is her husband, and he’s a Trump hater. Those are facts but not 100% tied to shooting but high probability.

Point is liar media already accusing shooter as Alt-Right White Supremacist.

So above information attempts to get ahead of any false allegations. You have a problem with that?
