As I write this (0900 on Monday in California) there are 550 known injured and 58 known dead from the shooting in Las Vegas last night. I suspect many of the injuries will be stampede injuries and not GSW. It seems that this idiot decided to open fire from well up in a hotel overlooking an outdoor music concert and just started firing with an automatic weapon into the crowd. People trampled down chain link fences topped with barbed wire in an effort to get out of the target zone.
The shooter, some middle-aged white guy, was killed by the responding cops.
I would like to come up with something profound, or witty, or helpful, to say at this time. I am coming up blank. One think for sure the gun control idiots will be out in force. People may even propose ending out door programs that attract more than X number of people because it is such an inviting target. Lots of questions right now and damn few answers, at least from a public policy standpoint.

Stephen Paddock, the shooter, killed himself.
Prayers for the victims and their families.
Also early reports said two shooters. It was only one. Information changes as the timeline progresses.
