Las Vegas Metro Police are responding to reports of a shooting with multiple victims on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus, near Beam Hall, according to a social media post.

 

“There appears to be multiple victims at this time. Please avoid the area and we will have more information soon,” police said on X.

UNLV shooter is Anthony Polito, a former East Carolina University professor who was denied a position at UNLV.

 

So, at first it looks more like "disgruntled didn't become an employee", less like "some kind of terrorist".  

 

(Although pointing out that what all of these scenarios seem to have in common, is how easy, rapid, access to guns, allows momentary incidents of "life's speed bumps" to become "mass fatalities".

Reading that article wrecked me.  Not sure why, but I went looking for the Youtube footage of the hearing.  I listened to one of the survivors statements, but I got about 5 seconds into the dad of Tate and I know if I hear the whole thing I will lose it. 

 

We rarely get these trials, but I have a hard time understanding how Congress can just not give a care.
