Yes Stephen and Marilou aren't traditional Asian names are they? There is as usual some sources spreading rather bogus information.

i'm curious to what their motives were for these attacks, my money now is seeking attention from the media, maybe they are against country music festivals

but i first thought of ISIS, but now i read that they are americans, no more gun licences to civilians please, we only see trouble coming from that

the knife attack yesterday in france was a attack by muslims ;)

are you serious, a mad man with a machine gun firing indiscriminately from the 32nd floor of a hotel, the police did well to pinpoint him so quickly in fairness

The suspect’s name is Stephen Paddock, with a date of birth of four nine of 1953. As far as history and background we haven’t completed that part of the investigation.

Several rifles were found in Paddock’s room

We located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied. All’s we know is that they were rifles. We are executing a search warrant on the room.We have officers at his residence, and we will be executing a search warrant there also shortly.

It is going to be a long and tedious investigation. We are bringing in all the resources of the FBI to assist us in this investigation, in particular to their victim witness advocates and their CSI folks to help us process the scene and ensure that we are getting all the evidence that we can possible obtain.

Police are confident they have located Paddock’s companion Marilou Danley

We have located the vehicles that I had put out in the first briefing. We are confident but not 100% sure that we have located the female person of interest. I want the people to feel confident and calm that we have accomplished a lot in short period of time.

yeah, i would've probably tried to get people behind cover, like cars, trees, out of the mad man's line of sight

you don't think that happened, do you think he was shooting round the edges, he would have been firing into the middle of the crowd where where they going to hide?

Absolutely horrific.

Cherie 02-10-2017 12:29 PM
He lived in a retirement village and has no previous convictions, not even a ticket.

Nevada has much stricter gun laws than other states in the US :umm2:

Will. 02-10-2017 12:41 PM

wow that is a lot of bullets then :worry:


and it is just legal to have guns in america, it makes me feel so scared

I think the US government should educate the public more on gun violence and its negative aftermaths. I think the government should really do this as many shootings have happened in the past (e.g. Aurora, Sandy Hook, Pulse), yet it seems like the public are not educated well enough on gun violence as it keeps on happening, every day at the alleways especially.

I think that Americans see incidents like this as the price they pay for their gun laws and are ok in general with it
