Yesterday there was gunfire at a mall in Virginia, today there was a shooting in Las Vegas at the Fremont Street Experience - an area filled with tourists - during a fight inside one of the area's casinos. One person was killed and a bystander was wounded.

UPDATE:

- 2 adults were shot
- An officer was shot

The shooting occurred while authorities were trying to shut down the “Moechella” festival, which was unpermitted within the city, according to the police chief. He also said he will discuss if promoters would be held accountable

(How was a free event that large unpermitted?)
