    The FBI still claims killing 50 men and injuring so many people is not an act of 'terror' and refused to brand the guy as a terrorist. Yup definitely right.. Terrorist only reserved for ISIS

    I've heard about it. The only thing I could do is pray for the victims and their families.

    The reports are that it was an automatic which has been illegal for civilian use/ownership since the mid-late 1980's. The guy shot from a hotel window into the crowd. Police used explosives to breach the hotel door but the guy shot himself.

    EDIT: Last I heard 59 people dead and 515 injured. Injured people could also have debilitating conditions for the rest of their lives too.

    EDIT 2: ISIS claimed responsibility and said the guy converted but the FBI has said the guy has no known ties to ISIS (they can find this out in 12 hours but Trump's ties to Russia have yet to be proven after at least a year and the media still goes on about it)

    EDIT 3: Guy's father was known to have mental issues and was on the FBI most wanted list after escaping from jail. Guy's brother said the guy was not a gun person and didn't know how his brother got the guns.
    (I am purposely not using the guy's name)

    EDIT 4: Philip Defranco's coverage (look in description for his sources)


    EDIT 5: MAP

    I'm pretty sure they're not labelling it terrorism because as far as they no he had no motives. Terrorism is only for those with religious, political, etc. motives

    there are 3 components to terrorism, he has hit all but one, no political motive yet. He could still be labeled depending on his motive
