An acre is 43,560 sq feet. Times 2 is nearly 90,000 sq feet.

It isn't exactly sharp shooting when you stand 22,000 people in there.

It hasn't even been 24 hours. But east coast band is making the call on it being one shooter.


Is there video of the 32nd floor? I want to see who walked in that room starting from the time he checked in.

At 400 yards, how far off would 3 inches of barrel movement send a bullet at that height and angle?

196 yards if 3 inches either way would be roughly 27.5 degrees.

So almost two football fields.

The odds of there being two shooters with the amount of cameras, videos, and people around is pretty damn unlikely.

And a football field is very close to an acre... So perfect.

Are you prepared to sit down and watch 96 hours video of the hallway?

No doubt about it.

Directly after the incident, concert goers started giving interviews. Almost all of them mentioned moving between breaks in shots. At some point, the shooter had to give up or stop firing on the crowd and go deal with the security guard.

That guy undoubtedly saved lives.

So many pages but and I didn't feel like reading them all and making a German post. Has the video been posted of the drunk guy standing up with bullets flying all around him waving his arms saying "come on pussy"??

I'll be happy to entertain any credible reports of multiple shooters.

It's just that I have been watching and reading on this all day from both "sides" CNN and foxNews, and none of them have suggested any more shooters other than the one that is dead.

Again, I'll be happy if you would like to present some info, other than some crap youtube links suggesting something that every news channel is not.

its absurd at this point to even consider more than one shooter

I want to know what causes so many people to report active shooters at all the different locations last night some not even close to the venue.

A combination of misinformation, lack of spatial awareness, panic, and in this case richochet bullets and echoing of the gunfire.

For instance. When you look up in a lot of the videos you see the Luxor or the Excalibur. Not the Mandalay Bay. And people fled to the Tropicana. And you have reports on the police scanners of civilians transporting people injured away from the scene.

Not to mention the general public hasn’t the slightest awareness of their location.

People made it pretty far away. They were scared, some had blood on them. Then SWAT team people were all around. Echoes.

There were tons of people running around all over the place. Some probably freaking out and ready to call 911 at the drop of a hat.
