    So many people hurt and killed. Trying to contact my Grandson in Vegas to make sure that he and his family are safe. Prayers for all affected by this.

    Like you, I heard about this when I got on the 'net this morning. Why, oh why, is it so easy to get high powered rifles here in the states?
    I cannot express enough my sympathy and concern for the parents, friends, associates of those killed and wounded.

    It’s a wretched awful thing :oops:

    I immediately took to Facebook to see if I could get any information about my three close friends who live there, two of whom are avid concert goers. I am so thankful for the Facebook feature that allows folks to mark themselves “safe” when tragedy strikes, and so I was easily able to determine that they are ok!

    Such a sensless act of violence. :(

    we have a people problem... everywhere, not just the USA... I have never seen a weapon of any kind attack or injure a person voluntarily.

    Evil people will perform evil deeds. Whether with auto's, trucks, acid, bombs, fire, clubs, rocks, or fists and feet. How do you deal with evil?

    No worries!

    I'm just glad he's OK.
