It seems like he would be firing from at least 100m away, probably significantly further as that's likely to be from the ground to the 32nd floor rather than from the room to the ground where the concert was taking place. That seems like a significant distance to fire a weapon and injure so many people. I understand he was spraying and not necessarily going for precision but nonetheless it's incredible that so many people were injured. Terrible

Radio 5 was reporting earlier that the crowd he was firing into numbered in excess of 22,000 people.

At that relatively close range and from an elevated position, he couldn’t miss.

Not incredible at all, I do concur it’s terrible though.

Nothing is going to change. If a primary school shooting doesn't change anything then why would this? You'll get the standard "Prayers" from members of the Government and no action.

Trump press conference coming up any minute now.

Cue Trump cramming his foot in his mouth again...

Associated Press reporting Islamic State claimed it though haven't provided proof. States shooter converted months ago.

I have no idea how reliable they are but thought I'd share!

was just thinking the same. 'Warmest condolences and sympathies' - wtf?? 'Warmest' is most assuredly NOT the correct word to use in this instance Mr Trump, you cretinous moron.

I'm sure they would just claim everything, its not like he is alive to deny being converted.

Suprised it took IS this long to claim it to be honest, zero proof given. But it works for them to stoke it up

Yes, he's a dumb ****. Warmest! There's nothing warm about the situation, jesus christ.

He should have tweeted "we will be reviewing our guns laws whilst retaining your sacred second amendment rights to help stop people going nuts and committing mass murder."

Trump on now. He's certainly no Obama...

FTM · 2 Oct 2017 at 15:55

273rd mass shooting in 275 days.... american priorities are so so screwed

but at least he wasnt an immigrant so trump can get back to calling nfl players on twitter for kneeling down

Warmest condolences?! Completely wrong word, as usual.

His vocabulary is appalling. He speaks like a ten year old. When he goes off-prompter and starts ad-libbing rather than reading his speech writers' words, it's beyond cringe-worthy.

They'd claim responsibility for an outbreak of the common cold.

VincentHanna · 2 Oct 2017 at 15:56

According to BBC, authorities have already discounted the Islamic State claim.

Just more proof they will claim responsibility for anything and everything.

Seems highly unlikely, suicide is not usually the ISIS way.

More likely a narcissist who was terminally ill or something like that. I'm going to die and I'm taking the world down with me. One last blow out in Vegas and then go down in history.

I farted the other day and the dog walked out of the room because of the smell, ISIS claimed that one too...
