Hoaxes Being Spread About The Las Vegas Shooting

At least 20 people were killed and more than 100 were injured in an active shooting incident on the Las Vegas Strip late Sunday night. Police have confirmed that "one suspect is down" and they do not believe there are any more shooters. Authorities are looking to talk to a "female companion" as a possible person of interest. Within minutes of reports of the shooting hitting Twitter, trolls started flooding social media with fake information.

If only all the concert goers were armed, they could have opened fire on the 32nd floor of the hotel and stopped the killing.
