At least fifty nine people are dead more than five hundred injured in las vegas after the deadliest mass shooting in u. S. History the gunman sixty four year old Stephen Paddick was found dead by police in the hotel room from where he opened fire on a crowd of thousands of people attending a concert twenty three guns were found in the room of father nineteen at his home north of Las Vegas Rob reynolds reports. This is them. Moment when a harmless sunday night out became a nightmare. Twenty thousand concert goers were enjoying a Country Music festival when suddenly death rained down from above terrified they scrambled for safety came down and then one after the other and we were lange on the floor i know to get up to ride and just to stay to done but it was you know it was safe to me because just about everything that was going on just getting here home and just shooting me down on the floor people im dying in our pool and i as we went through the Airport Parking my eyes up and down hill to the pot on the everywhere perched in a snipers nest on the thirty second floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel sixty four year old Stephen Paddick fired off hundreds of bullets from a fully automatic military style machine gun. The carnage lasted for ten minutes as police broke down the Hotel Room Door patrick killed himself police found ten guns in the room on monday morning the scale of the atrocity became heartbreakingly clear we are currently standing at five twenty seven for individuals injured and individuals that have died or passed away fifty nine Police Called patrick a lone wolf you apparently had no criminal record no history of Mental Illness and the f. B. I. Said he had no connection with any overseas groups such as eisel or al qaida it wasnt evident that he had weapons in his room we have determined that there has been employees going to and fro from his room and not in a nefarious was noticed at this point thats what we know now police hope paddocks female companion Marilou Danley might provide clues as to his motives friends say shes been out of the country a somber President Donald Trump addressed the nation. We pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace and we pray for the day when evil is banished and the innocent are safe from hatred and from fear trump plans to visit las vegas on wednesday among the many Unanswered Questions are how patrick got a hold of a fully automatic machine gun which even in the us with its for missive gun laws is not obtainable without a special license las vegas has always been known as a city where people from around the world come to gamble take in a show and generally have fun but from now on this citys history will forever be shadowed by one terrible night when music gave way to mass murder robbery and its Al Jazeera Las Vegas live now to las vegas on zeros and a galaxy is that he wants the latest. But. Well adrian as you just were mentioning there that we know now that stephen public had twenty three weapons inside the hotel room the mandalay bay behind me and we also are being told by Law Enforcement officials that those weapons may well have been modified to go from semiautomatic to automatic thats something that democrats have raised as a concern in the past the ability to do this it basically enables somebody with a weapon modified like that to fire between four hundred to eight hundred rounds per minute and remember this went on for about ten minutes what we dont know is the motive behind this we know that this was very well planned that Stephen Paddick moved into the room a few days ago and got those weapons somehow into that room and all that i mean ition we dont know if theres any video of that we dont know if any of the hotel staff raised any suspicions but its a very somber mood here in las vegas tonight you can see if you can see the palm trees just behind me thats where the concert was the hotel towers above that area there were more than twenty thousand people celebrating a Country Music festival and as somebody told me just earlier they were basically sitting ducks for somebody like Stephen Paddick who had basically broken open two windows to give himself to Vantage Point to rain down all those bullets which were told lasted for at least ten to fifteen minutes and so many lives have been lost and the at this time of night the strip behind you there would be buzzing usually whats that the mood there tonight in las vegas. Well interesting were doing we just met a gentleman who was at the concert on sunday night he was retracing his steps he was clearly still in shock he told us a firsthand account of what it was like. At the time at first many people in the crowd thought there was somebody was putting something into the sound system to have a joke somebody thought there were fireworks going on he said it wasnt until he saw the first dead body that he realized that something tragic was happening here on the sidewalk right at my feet i can see patches of blood all over the place there were abandoned shoes everywhere from where people ran away in the gentleman we spoke to was clearly still in this state of shock he just wanted to go out into the streets of las vegas and really talk to people to talk through what happened to him but he was clearly very much in shock like many of the twenty thousand or so people that were here on sunday night to celebrate what should have been an innocent occasion celebrating Country Music and i can imagine hes one of thousands of people whove been deeply affected by this of course the death toll now stands at fifty nine and more than five hundred people injured theres also were being told a shortage of blood supplies although the city is now pulling together people are turning up to Hospitals Medical Centers to donate as much blood as they can the hospitals are obviously struggling to cope with something on this scale the entire city is now in mourning and as you said las vegas would normally be buzzing on a monday night now its eerily quiet and even a thanks andy going to go there live in las vegas will Mary Ellen Otoole is a former f. B. I. Profiler and director of Forensic Science program at George Mason University she says that Steven Patrick drew little attention because he didnt fit the profile of a mass killer. Because his age certainly sets him sets him apart as an outlier hes sixty four and at that point in life. Theres the assumption that hes able to live his life and deal with the frustrations and the anger and the disappointments in a very prosocial way and so it sixty four to act out like this is really a typical most of the shooters are in late teens early twentys or maybe early thirtys so thats really unusual but i will say this as i follow this case and i see his age and i see the information that we are not learning about him in addition to what we are learning about him my sense is this is a man who may have led a secret life and if thats so that may help to explain why were seeing this behavior at sixty four.

Iran has deployed dozens of tanks along its border with iraq for ton of us kurdish region following last weeks secession referendum that the deployment as part of a joint military drill with Iraqi Armed Forces the referendum was held in the fire ants of the government in baghdad as well as neighboring iran and turkey baghdad has rejected any dialogue with the Kurdish Regional government unless the referendum is an old one iraqs former leader Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against the iraqi kurds of province in one nine hundred eighty eight and that attack is often cited as a reason for support of kurdish autonomy but despite the history the provinces turnout in last weeks session referendum was low chance strafford reports.

Almost sixteen thousand nine hundred eighty eight iranian soldiers were in the area when iraqi warplanes dropped chemical weapons in and around the kurdish town. Its estimated that up to five thousand people were killed in the Chemical Attacks on how about just now you think that the people that have suffered such an appalling atrocity would be fully behind the referendum on eventual secession from iraq but the province of had one of the lowest turnouts in the vote. There were no flags or signs celebrating the referendum here it was a lie.

She recently lost eight members of his family in the Chemical Attacks three decades ago he says the Kurdish Regional government has let down that the people have little trust of the government because of corruption and there is fierce competition between parties to maximize their gains life for every day people here is going backwards. In recent years theres been growing opposition and protests in this area over delays of government salaries. The federal government in baghdad stopped paying the seventeen percent from the budget in two thousand and fifteen because it accused the kurdish government of not sharing its oil revenue people here say any oil money the government in your bill has made has not been fairly distributed throughout the region. There is a difference between the rest of. Economically speaking the government and i bill has been neglecting the people of the lab services and infrastructure life is hard here there is a lot of support for opposition more than ninety two percent of those who voted said yes in the referendum but there are a lot of people in this province even ones who suffered so horrifically under the saddam regime who disagree.
