Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Monday that the mass shooting in Las Vegas the previous night had claimed the lives of 58 people, and perhaps an additional person, as the casualties from the mass shooting continued to mount.
“Right now we’re using the number of 58. I just was informed that it may be 59, of an individual that may have expired at Sunrise Hospital,” Lombardo said at a press briefing.
The number of injured also increased to 515, he said.
“In normal fashion I do not want to give you bad information,” he added. “So please do not press me on that number until we get further into this investigation.”
“And as you can tell, as the hours go by, that number continues to increase,” he said.
One shooter. Nearly 600 deaths and injuries.
The weapons being sold are inherently prone to causing mass casualties. It’s what they’re made to do. And they can be easily converted illegally to full-auto firing. The manufacturers and sellers know this.
To repeat many: Repeal the Second Amendment.
Its only original purpose was to arm slave catchers, anyway.
And of course, the buyers. In fact I 'd say most of the folks that want them think of that as a good feature.
Really expired? Not quite as lame as warm condolences but damn so folks realy don’t have a way with words do they?
REally interesting in light of the congressman final getting back after the previous mass shooting. Wonder if there was a link in the shooters mind?
