Hmm. Was the guy pissed off because of some gambling losses? Undoubtedly some people here would be frustrated if there were no political angle to this.
The suspected gunman behind the Las Vegas massacre made several large gambling transactions in recent weeks, according to law enforcement officials.
The transactions by Stephen Paddock, who lived in Mesquite, Nevada, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vega, were in the tens of thousands in Las Vegas, the officials said.
It was not immediately clear if those transactions were losses or wins.
Shut up. They're talking about it on FOX as of five minutes ago.
They have mentioned it three times now since I started watching live since 5:45 AM this morning. I repeat, however, that Fox has said there is no confirmation of this report as yet.

Most of the people interviewed said they became aware of what was happening after hearing the shots fired and some saw immediately where they were coming from.
If someone with weapons such as the one the shooter had a silencer on it, it would have taken longer for those in the crowd to realize what was going on, and he would probably have been able to shoot even more people than he did.
Nobody is claiming it would prevent these tragedies. But the carnage could be on an even higher level if people were not hearing shots and begin running and taking cover.
Maybe they should restrict the volume of concerts.
Do you for one minute think he would obey gun laws?
BTW, you can build your own silencer using a flashlight, heater plugs and a drill press. There are dozens of Youtube videos that walk you through it step by step.
I like having my suppressor, because it makes my gun less loud.
