This is some really fucking scary shit. Hope everyone is ok, the sound of that weapon is not making me confident.

That sounded like more than one active shooter. Probably multiple shooters with auto rifles. Concert venue + shooters randomly killing people in the crowd is textbook isis modus operandi. Reminds of the bataclan terror attack my city. Jesus christ this shit will never stop.

Arrived in Vegas this afternoon with my girlfriend, and just got out of a show at the Bellagio. Most people seem oblivious to this. My brother in NZ called me to ask if I was okay.
 
I just got out of a concert at the Hard Rock Hotel and had no idea that this was happening. Could see people running away as far as UNLV.

Listening to police scanner now.

If there were multiple shooters wouldn't doubt if columbine was a big inspiration for them

Can you all hold off on the it must be this or it must be that talk. You'll know soon enough so what the hell good are you doing?

The strip is really long so luckily you're at about th halfway point. Stay safe and let's hope it doesn't get worse.

I don't know anything about guns, but those noises didn't sound good. Hopefully there's minimal causalities and they catch whoever is doing this pretty quickly.

There are gaffers in vegas now? What should be suggested? My gut says go hide in your rooms. My brain says I have no fucking clue what you do here and may suggest something that would get you killed. Stay safe vegas gaf (and all of vegas).

For those that have direct knowledge about purchasing or owning guns, how difficult is it to acquire a fully automatic weapon, if that's indeed what these people in this attack are using?

Can't remember the last attack in the US off the top of my head where I remember fully automatic weapons being used unless I'm forgetting one. Jeez this is awful.

it's redic easy to convert a semi-auto to full auto
 
This is awful. Just got to hope that those responsible are stopped ASAP.

Just gotta hope there are not too many fatalities.

Stay safe Vegas GAF

Wasn't there word Las Vegas was a target for a coming terrorist attack? I hope it's not that. Jesus. :(
Word or not, it's a tourist destination. Perfect target and as someone mentioned many casinos connect so you can go through a few casinos without stepping out. Multiple exits, lots of parking lots.

This sucks.
