Las Vegas Shootings October 2, 2017

Last night Las Vegas, Nevada suffered the deadliest mass shooting in American history.  As of this writing, at least 50 are dead and over 200 wounded.

The shooter was a local 64-year-old white male resident of Mesquite, Nevada.  He fired a fully automatic machine gun from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay Hotel into a crowd of thousands assembled for the Harvest Music Festival on the Las Vegas Strip.  The shooter  was killed by police, who report that he acted alone and that international terrorism is not being considered as a motive.
