From his perch and with his training, he was able to kill fifteen and wound more than twenty. Some years later a retired accountant living in a sleepy community outside of Las Vegas, having squirreled away more than twenty weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and tools to make camera peepholes and barricades in a high hotel suite overlooking an outdoor music venue, authored the bloodiest mass shooting in American history. Cheri Maples was a police officer, district attorney, and dharma teacher. She was a beacon of wisdom, inspiration and lovingkindness to thousands, me included.

  • Photos Vegas Shooting
    Vegas Shooting By Stephen Paddock 2017 News Reports Quotes and Photos - The police have found a total of 47 firearms in his two houses and his hotel suite. Jill A. Snyder, the special agent in charge of the San Francisco office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said that almost all had been traced, and that they had been bought in Nevada, Utah, California and Texas. - Ms. Danley was considered a suspect, he said, “Currently she’s a person of interest.” SHE SHOULD LAWYER UP - Mr. Paddock worked for the federal government for roughly 10 years, from 1975 to 1985, a spokeswoman for the Office of Personnel Management confirmed. - Investigators unearthed multiple job applications, with Mr. Paddock’s fingerprints on file, as part of records reflecting his employment as a letter carrier for the Postal Service in the mid-1970s; as an Internal Revenue Service agent from 1978 to 1984; and as an auditor focused on defense contracts, a job he held until 1985. He also worked in the 1980s for one of the companies that later combined to form Lockheed Martin, the aerospace contractor. - The cameras — apparently intended to warn of approaching threats — along with the 23 guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and other equipment found in the gunman’s hotel suite, suggested a thought-out plan - Twelve of the rifles Mr. Paddock had in his luxury suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino were outfitted with a “bump stock,” a device that enables a gun to fire hundreds of rounds per minute, like a machine gun - According to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, investigators also were looking into whether Mr.

  • Vegas Atrocity As Political Opportunity
    Vegas Atrocity As Political Opportunity www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268044/vegas-atrocity-political-opportunity- %C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0-matthew-vadum The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history has been cravenly transformed into anti-American propaganda by the Left, as Democrat commentators race to ghoulishly savage white men, gun rights and the NRA, Republicans, and President Trump, blaming them for what otherwise looks like a Muslim terrorist atrocity. The president described the attack as "an act of pure evil." Nowadays there should be a working assumption – or perhaps a rebuttable presumption is a better way of putting it – that when a terrorist-style attack like this happens, jihadists are behind it either directly or indirectly. It is important to note that videos produced by Islamic State (also called ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh), specifically show the Las Vegas Strip, presenting the area as a prospective terrorist target. The rat-a-tat-tat of machine gun fire rang out while country music performer Jason Aldean was on stage on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night singing at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the massacre that was carried out several football fields away from a two-bedroom suite on the 32nd floor of MGM’s Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino by 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, who killed himself before police could apprehend him. Relatives say the shooter kept to himself and wasn’t prone to angry outbursts. Described as a retired accountant turned professional gambler, Paddock owned several homes around the country.

  • Mass Murder in the News: How Religion Influences Perception of Terrorism Katie Keegan and Wendy L
    https://doi.org/10.24839/2325-7342.JN23.5.354 Mass Murder in the News: How Religion Influences Perception of Terrorism Katie Keegan and Wendy L. Morris* McDaniel College ABSTRACT. When a mass murder occurs in the United States, people may assume the crime is an act of terror or an act of a person with mental illness. Given the way that Muslims are presented in the media, the availability heuristic may cause people to assume that a Muslim perpetrator is a terrorist (Ciftci, 2012; Nagar, 2010; Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). Furthermore, if a Muslim uses a bomb, the representativeness heuristic may cause people to assume the Muslim is a terrorist rather than a mentally ill person. In the present study, participants read a mock news story about a mass murder committed by a perpetrator described as either Christian or Muslim who used either a bomb or a gun. Three hundred twenty college students participated (224 women, 92 men, 4 other). For the same crime, participants thought the Muslim perpetrator was more likely to be in an extremist group and more religious than the Christian, and they thought the Christian was more likely to be mentally unstable and depressed than the Muslim. Furthermore, when a bomb was used, participants thought the Muslim perpetrator was more typical for the crime than the Christian. These findings suggest that mass murder is perceived differently depending upon perpetrator religion and weapon in ways that are consistent with stereotypes. n December 2015, three days after a husband a tumor) and the author wondered, “if it’s possible and wife, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen to gain insight into his actions at a biological level, IMalik, shot and killed 14 people and injured 21 we might be in a better position to fend off such at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, tragedies in the future” (Eagleman, 2017, para.

Enrollment causes setback for reserves goal Sarah Cavender News Writer The board stated the university's revenue will be $4.8 million less than the planned budget partly due to enrollment loss. Enrollment has been checked since the beginning of the fall semester, and is used to determine how much the budget needs to be adjusted by looking at the revenue from student enrollment gains and losses. “We were $3 million lower on summer revenues. And the fall and spring terms are planned to be $1.8 million gross revenue reduction,” Jeff Ulliman, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Wright State, said in a Board of Trustees meeting. The revenue from enrollment is officially determined after the student back out, which pulls students from registration that have not yet paid tuition after three weeks into the semester. “We create a budget based upon projections and we look at different subsets of the enrollment. We look at undergraduates, graduate students, domestic students, international students, and the full time and part time students,” said Ulliman.

  • MANAGING SECURITY RISKS in a VIOLENT WORLD by Mark A
    Istituto Unificato Nazionale per le Tecnologie applicate alle Scienze Sociali ________________________________________________________________________________ MANAGING SECURITY RISKS IN A VIOLENT WORLD by Mark A. Randol In the space of a week in March 2021, mass shootings in the United States at health spas in Atlanta, Georgia and at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado killed eight and ten persons, respectively. This was a terrible week, but not the worst week of gun violence America has suffered. During one week in the summer of 2019, eleven multiple shootings occurred culminating in the attack at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. They took place in six different states and the District of Columbia. Sixteen were killed and 58 wounded in these attacks.1 Then, the following week, there were two more mass shootings – in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio – that took the lives of 31 and wounded 51 more.2 Last year, gun violence killed nearly 20,000 Americans more than any other year in the last two decades.3 In the last five years, there have been at least 30 mass shootings resulting in four or more fatalities each, according to data compiled by the Violence Project.4 As families grieve, politicians argue fruitlessly over what to do about America’s epidemic of firearm deaths. Leaders of public and private sector organizations have important responsibilities for the safety and security of their people, assets, and operations. They do not have the luxury of extended political debate over gun laws and cannot delegate their responsibilities to others. The purpose of this article is to describe the adversaries and threats that exist in this violent world, remind leaders that security risks are real, and that managing those risks is critically important.

  • Assessing the Mass Attacks Threat to Texas
    UNCLASSIFIED Assessing the Mass Attacks Threat to Texas January 2020 Texas Department of Public Safety UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Assessing the Threat of Mass Attacks in Texas A State Intelligence Estimate Produced by the: Texas Fusion Center Intelligence & Counterterrorism Division Texas Department of Public Safety In collaboration with federal, state, and local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies January 2020 This report is the UNCLASSIFIED version of an original report containing Law Enforcement Sensitive information. All information and citations from the original report that are confidential by law or excepted from public disclosure requirements have been redacted from this unclassified version. In some cases, the original Law Enforcement Sensitive citations have been replaced with citations to public sources that serve as alternative references. UNCLASSIFIED 1 UNCLASSIFIED THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED (U) Executive Summary (U) The key analytic judgments of this assessment include: (U) Mass attacks pose a persistent and varied threat to the State of Texas. Recent significant mass attacks in Texas and throughout the United States occurred with little or no advance warning by lone actors with varying motivations. Future attacks will most likely occur on soft targets including schools, religious institutions, commercial facilities, and other locations where there are mass gatherings of people with little or no security. However, more secure structures such as government, military, and law enforcement facilities, are also possible targets for future attacks. (U) Racially motivated attacks are currently the most violently active type of Domestic Terrorism within the United States and Texas. In 2018 and 2019, at least four major attacks occurred in the United States (including one in Texas) conducted by racially motivated actors, and at least four other incidents were thwarted.
