A gunman firing from a Las Vegas hotel rained a rapid-fire barrage on a huge outdoor concert festival on Sunday night, sending thousands of people fleeing until SWAT units found and killed him. More than 20 victims died, and more than 100 others were wounded, officials said.

Online video of the attack outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino showed the country singer Jason Aldean performing outside at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a three-day country music event, interrupted by the sound of automatic gunfire. The music stopped, and concertgoers ducked for cover.

The shooter was in the hotel 300 feet off the ground. Hard to get to him easily.

I can't tell from the video, cell phone mics aren't the best, but was that suppressed? Not sure if it had a suppressor, or if the mic just maxxed out.
