Someone filmed this from the sidewalk right in front of the hotel where the shots were coming from. That sounds like a machine gun:

This lady told a reporter that a lady pushed her way to the front, started messing with another lady, and then told everyone they were going to die tonight before being escorted away by security:

Allegedly, this is the lady who told them all that:

I was referring to the lack of aimed fire at that distance. I assume there were lots of casualties from the first burst, but once people started running and the crowd dispersed, hopefully most of the rounds struck empty ground.

My question is...why did security remove this woman and her boyfriend instead of ARRESTING them? Because 45 minutes after she told those people they were all going to die...the shots started.

In that video it sounds like it might be an AR. Could have modified one to fire full auto, could be a bump-fire stock.

It is not confirmed that the shooter's companion is the same person who was causing a scene at the concert.

I understand; wasn't trying to get on ya.

In any event, those people were absolute sitting ducks. A motivated shooter with a decent weapon and thousands of people tightly gathered into one area? Aiming isn't even necessary

Perhaps you didn't take the time to read what the news channel stated on that tweet. Here, let me do the work for you:

"Police confirm investigators are looking for MariLou Danley - a reported companion of the shooter in the #LasVegas shooting"
Who else would have said something like that. People need to stop making excuses for what is right in front of them.

Yeah, and there's really not anything that can be done to stop it from happening again. Hell, the guy in France managed to kill 86 and injure 450 with a truck. Where there's a will, there's a way.

It is called cognitive-dissonance my friend. They can't help it.

Yes, police are looking for Marilou Danley, the companion of the shooter. There has been no confirmation that she was the woman who told people at the concert that they were going to die. Let's stick to the facts.
