What's messed up is that this is becoming common now.

I remember when mass shootings were extremely rare, happened like once a decade if even that.

I don't know if this is true or not but there are reports of active shooters in other areas?

Active shooters in 3 locations of the Las Vegas strip--Mandalay Bay, New York New York, & Luxor. Possible explosive in or near Luxor.

I am listening to a radio program that is giving updates.
