This posted on the Facebook page of the wedding planner from Baton Rouge that WAFB interviewed.


So update. I just spoke to workers here at Paris Hotel. They confirmed when we were hunkered in the snack shop that a man with a rifle came in the Paris Hotel Lobby & fired a shot. Donna Gail & I heard the shot & glass shattering and then screams and panic. This is where I was scared for my life. Not sure why media is not reporting this. Also staff of Paris said staff of Bellagio also had a shooter. Which a woman had proof on her Facebook live feed. This is where Paige Lute was. Omg.

Newsweek reporting the shooter rented two adjoining rooms and that the police found out what room he was in thanks to a fire detector which went off due to gunfire smoke in the room.

Yeah, it sounds like it. I think that’s more likely than a bump stock.

I figured they did?

But even so, no one is going to be thinking a mass shooter before yesterday. Maybe a suicide at worst I would assume.

Why did the guy have several pounds of tanerite with him?

ETA: That shite could have been really bad. if he used it. He also had ammonium nitrate in his car. :|

No. I think she just was misinformed.

What he did was horrific. But he had enough shite to kill infinitely more people.

It almost seems like he stockpiled everything and then though, "frick I'm over it, I'm ready to make my move."

I'm assuming he didn't want to get caught before at least doing something. But then why the shite did he take 23 firearms to MB? He couldn't have used more than 3 of them.

Why take SO much?

not really.... the sound from the shooter was evenly spaced. i'd bet anything it was a fully automatic ak 47, that's exactly what it sounds like.

shite, idk?

I just don't believe that she saw someone walk into a building and fire a shot. You believe that?

ETA: Ok so she didn't even see it. Maybe she was just misinformed.

I honestly am surprised this crazy sick fricker didn't have a bomb ready to blow everything up around him when he finally got done shooting or when authorities were closing in on him. Just makes me sick knowing all those people died at the hands of this crazy mofo.

They have already said is a modified AR-15 with a slide stock for bump firing.

Found out at work tonight that a coworker was supposed to go to the concert but changed her mind at the last minute and gave her ticket to a friend. Friend is among the 59.

Right?

Hell with the tanerite he had, all he'd have to do is have buckets of it in his room. SWAT comes in and he just shoots it. That would have fricked some stuff up without question.

ETA: YouTube video of tannerite being shot

This is probably more than he would have had. But you get the point. Go to 2:20.

I have. For some reason I didn't think they were very effective. Similar to putting a sock on the doorknob at a house party
