I bet many have heard of the tragedy that happened this weekend. It was a Mandalay Bay shooting. On Sunday night at 10:08 pm, Stephen Paddock starter shooting. Straight from Mandalay Bay Hotel, to a Las Vegas concert. He shot from the 32th floor, the impact was rough. While he was shooting, he was recording. The shooting stopped at 10:19. Amazingly, Stephen shot 400 yards away from the concert. If I haven't mentioned before, Jason Aldean was the one on stage during the shooting. He was joyfully singing on stage when he heard the first gunshots. The tone of his voice went down. Jason describes the concert as "horrific". In total, there was 59 deaths. Including the shooter.
I can tell you put a lot of time and research into writing this post. Thank you for sharing.
