So many scenerios, and no real questions answered.

Was this guy the actual shooter? Or was he a victim of the actual shooters? He seemed to have it all, rich, retired, home, etc.... Then he snapped and planned out a killing on this scale, making sure he had a room facing the concert and perfect line of fire. Possibilities, maybe he wasnt a shooter, maybe the shooters barged into his room, and he was a victim as well. Or maybe it was him, but why hasnt there been any sort of reasoning to do it, no mention of any note or video left to explain.

This is crazy, and being in the midst of it all last night everything was moving so fast, it seemed like a movie. I gave people rides out of the area until they blocked the roads off moments later... Then while at the NYNY someone made a false claim of shooting, and everyone stampeded out of there, people banging on my car trying to get in, so I filled it up and dropped them down on Fremont... it was crazy.

I just want to know WHY!!

Supposedly took over an hour for police to get into his room...only to find him dead inside. Anyone think this is a bit slow? I mean had he not killed himself we could be talking multiple times the casualties.

My fellow Americans, we are joined together today in sadness, shock, and grief. Last night, a gunman opened fire on a large crowd at a country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada. He brutally murdered more than 50 people, and wounded hundreds more. It was an act of pure evil.

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are working closely with local authorities to assist with the investigation, and they will provide updates as to the investigation and how it develops.

I want to thank the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and all of the first responders for their courageous efforts, and for helping to save the lives of so many. The speed with which they acted is miraculous, and prevented further loss of life. To have found the shooter so quickly after the first shots were fired is something for which we will always be thankful and grateful. It shows what true professionalism is all about.

Hundreds of our fellow citizens are now mourning the sudden loss of a loved one -- a parent, a child, a brother or sister. We cannot fathom their pain. We cannot imagine their loss. To the families of the victims: We are praying for you and we are here for you, and we ask God to help see you through this very dark period.

Scripture teaches us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.� We seek comfort in those words, for we know that God lives in the hearts of those who grieve. To the wounded who are now recovering in hospitals, we are praying for your full and speedy recovery, and pledge to you our support from this day forward.

In memory of the fallen, I have directed that our great flag be flown at half-staff.

I will be visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet with law enforcement, first responders, and the families of the victims.

In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one -- and it always has. We call upon the bonds that unite us -- our faith, our family, and our shared values. We call upon the bonds of citizenship, the ties of community, and the comfort of our common humanity.

Our unity cannot be shattered by evil. Our bonds cannot be broken by violence. And though we feel such great anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love that defines us today -- and always will, forever.

In times such as these, I know we are searching for some kind of meaning in the chaos, some kind of light in the darkness. The answers do not come easy. But we can take solace knowing that even the darkest space can be brightened by a single light, and even the most terrible despair can be illuminated by a single ray of hope.

Melania and I are praying for every American who has been hurt, wounded, or lost the ones they love so dearly in this terrible, terrible attack. We pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace. And we pray for the day when evil is banished, and the innocent are safe from hatred and from fear.

May God bless the souls of the lives that are lost. May God give us the grace of healing. And may God provide the grieving families with strength to carry on.

Thank you. God bless America. Thank you.

Anybody think Jason Aldean could have done a little more here to warn his fans?

I mean, everyone is paying attention to him, he has a microphone that would immediately reach 22,000 people, and he turns and runs without saying a word.

there was nothing he could have did, the shooter was up above, and the fans was in a fishbowl type of thing, not a good question imo

Sorry, if someone is pointing an automatic weapon in my direction, I'm not taking the time to do anything but run, and/or take cover.

It is baffling. From what his brother knew, he had no past experiences with weapons. Didn't believe he even owned a gun. Everything seemed normal. The shooter was worth millions. But suddenly he is know a killer, shooting high powered automatic rifles at targets a 1,000+ away for no apparent reason? I guess it's possible. You do not need much aim to spray bullets at a crowd, but recoil and reloading can be tricky for an unexperienced person. 8-10 guns for one person? The whole situation is sad and bizarre.
