Another Concert Tragedy

At least 58 are dead and more than 500+ hurt after an overnight shooting in Las Vegas. The shooting happened during the Route 91 Harvest Country Festival, and Jason Aldean was performing. Police say suspect Stephen Paddock shot people from a room on the 32nd floor of Mandaly Bay.


This situation is a little different from the terror attacks during the Eagles of Death Metal and Ariana Grande concerts in Europe. This was an open air event where the shooter basically opened up a machine gun over top the music fans. This is especially hard to see because the people had no where to go to take cover except to run... and of course, how do you know where to run when you don't know where the shooter is even staged?


Police did breach the room where Paddock was apparently holed up shooting.


So where does this leave us? These attacks are becoming more brazen. Remember, always look for an escape route whenever you go into a concert venue - no matter if it's a tiny club or giant open air event. Protect yourself.
