Was this Las Vegas Massacre terrorist related? Is this the first shooting on Trump's watch? Does anybody know any details?

[Gary Devine]

I just turned on Fox News. They stated 200 shot and 50 dead.
It's a shame a good guy with a gun didn't stop it sooner.
The casinos prohibited firearms.
Are their casino security guards also unarmed?? ?

The Security guards are most likely not armed due to insurance purposes. The money in the casino is insured, thus the owners will recover in the event of a robbery. However a shooting by a guard could cause lots of money lost. The guy was on the 32 floor. I would think the guards wouldn't be in that area unless it was a gaming floor.

Neighbors say the shooter left for 6 months. Where did he go ? What did he do ?

Sad thing to wake up to. Gun control topics will be very frontal now, and I wouldn't be surprised if Trump flip flops on his stance. The guy was on the 32nd floor, so I can pretty much assume it was at least partially planned out...so yeah, I would call him a terrorist. I'd consider it a terrorist act...just wish the cops didn't kill the shooter so that he could rot away in prison for the rest of his days.

Edit: I'm now reading that the shooter killed himself once the police breached the door. It was earlier being reported that the police killed him.

"Paddock’s arsenal included AR-15-style assault rifles that had been converted into fully automatic weapons"....not sure if true yet, but came from a police chief. It is also stated that he was using .308 which would explain why so many were injured due to pass through, etc.

One sound clip they keep playing of full auto fire sounds like an AR-10 on full auto. AR-15 is a lot sharper crack.
Doctor said the .308 wounds were clearly distinguishable from the .223 wounds.

I think the words "terrorist-related" imply that the attacks were inspired by foreign powers, such as ISIS (who BTW claim credit for the Las Vegas shooting).

Most wound-trauma doctors claim to be unable to distinguish between bullet calibers in gunshot wounds.

Not the ones I have worked with.

And any Doctor can tell you when they encounter Winchesters Black Talon.

We need to know more about his gambeling and if he had any big debts or loses that set him off.
Also need to know how the girlfriend fit into the case. What did she know and when did she know it ? Did his plan or mental stability cause he to go to tokoyo ?

Yes 99, that what I was thinking. So Trump still has a clean record on those nut groups.

[jhjimbo]

ISIS and Israilies both say Paddock was converted. Can we believe the FBI ?

The FBI has only said that so far it has not found any evidence to validate the claim that the attack was ISIS-inspired. It is just too early in the investigation to make a call on that. Stay tuned.
