Balta1701 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Struggling to process this one. Guy was shooting a high powered rifle out the window of Mandalay Bay 30something floor into a crowd across the street. I've stayed at that hotel. Would have had to reload multiple times and basically have an arsenal there. Deadliest mass shooting we've had yet, surpassing Pulse.

StrangeSox Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Very clear from the video that was shown on WGN earlier that these were fully automatic weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 We were playing blackjack at the Aria. People started getting reports of an active shooter at the Mandalay on their phone, but everyone was still just playing, business as usual. Then there were a couple of banging loud noises and everyone went crazy. The dealers ran away, we started hiding under the card tables until we thought it was safe enough to sneak to the elevators and go upstairs, it was messed up.

Then, I was like, this asshole just killed 50 people. I don't think he cares about breaking a window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea on what the banging noises were? Wouldn't imagine that the gunshots would be heard audibly in the Aria casino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just saw a flash across Bloomberg that ISIS is claiming credit and saying that the shooter had just converted to Islam in the last couple of months... but also noting that ISIS likes to make stuff like this up in an attempt to claim credit for attacks.

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Seems difficult to believe a guy with this profile would suddenly convert to Islam and join up with ISIS in his 60's. Plus ISIS, as others noted, claims all manner of stuff they didn't do. But it's not impossible I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he is 64 years old and has no criminal record at all is already a big overcoming of the typical odds in profile of this type of shooter.
