More than 20 people have been killed and more than 100
injured after a “lone wolf” gunman fired multiple shots at the Route 91
Harvest country music festival from a hotel overlooking the event in Las
Vegas. Two of those killed were off-duty police officers.
The only suspect, whose motives are unknown, was killed by police. A Swat team used a controlled explosion to enter his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino.
Police are searching for the suspect’s companion, Marilou Danley. She is wanted for questioning and is described as a person of interest.
Jason Aldean, the country music singer who was performing when the shooting took place, described the scene as “beyond horrific”. He said he and his crew were safe, but added: “It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun nigh
Concertgoers reported seeing muzzle flashes from the upper floors of the Mandalay Bay hotel and several videos of the aftermath show hundreds of people fleeing in panic as the gunfire continued. About 40,000 people were attending the festival.
Note EU-Digest: This horrific shooting in Las Vegas, by whoever it might be done, terrorist or a local deranged person, once again, focuses the attention on the outdated 2nd amendment of the US constitution .
The US is in dire need of better controls on the sale of guns, so that people can not go into a gun shop and purchase any kind of gun they desire. Regardless, if the National Rifle Association and their supporters, from the President down to politicians, on both sides of the isle, like it or not.
