Apparent mass casualty incident on Las Vegas Strip

[ArcadiaGP]

Developing story

Seems to be automobile-related, possibly a car that ran into multiple pedestrians. Just outside Planet Hollywood - where Miss Universe Pageant just ended, over 20 pedestrians hit.

Wow! I hate seeing this stuff... It'll be interesting to hear the details when it's all sorted out.

Ugh. I have friends that work the ER in Vegas. They say it's awful all the time, this cannot help things.

1) That sucks a ton, especially just before Christmas. My heart goes out to the victims and families affected.
2) I'd hate to be the rookie stuck with the report.
3) Odds on narcotics/alcohol involvement? It's Vegas, someone is taking bets on the over/under for the BAC right now.

.15?

Could be jihad.

This happened right outside the Miss Universe pageant. I'm guessing it was an ugly woman.

Or the girl who was mistakenly called the winner by Steve Harvey. Haven't seen the clip yet but I guess it was bad.

No, they will still find a way to blame guns.

Global warming. If we only all drove tiny, electric cars.
