I just read about Las Vegas in the news. Horrible!
How can someone be so despicable? He is dead, isn't he?

Yes, the news here said he's dead.

It is the 273rd mass shooting (four or more people either injured or killed) of 2017 and it is the 275th day of the year.

Oh my god!  Such things happen that often? Terrible!

Unbelievable...

In the German news it was said that the reasons for that are the gun laws (too lax).
But this man had a bunch of automatic weapons that are not allowed.
And the terrorists in Germany also had weapons that were illegal.
Where do these criminals get these weapons from?

Various sources report a gay Utah couple were among the victims Sunday evening in a mass shooting that took place at an outdoor Las Vegas concert.

Cameron Robinson, 28, of Cedar City, who worked for the city of Las Vegas, was shot and killed in the horrific attack, while his boyfriend, Bobby Eardley, took shrapnel to the back.

The fathers of three were attending the country concert when gunman Stephen Paddock fired into the crowd, murdering 59 people and injuring hundreds.

According to Robinson’s sister Meghan Ervin, Eardley is expected to survive.

Ervin says Robinson commuted from Cedar City to Las Vegas every day for work and had lived there for about a year.

Robinson was fatally struck by a bullet in the neck, according to his sister.

A GoFundMe page https://www.gofundme.com/you-will-be-missed-cameron-robinson has been established to help with medical expenses and the cost of the funeral.

Southern Utah resident Cameron Robinson, 28, was among those who would be fatally wounded, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.  Robinson was attending the festival with his boyfriend when he was shot in the neck, his sister Meghan Ervin told the Review-Journal.

Robinson lived in the St. George area and drove to Las Vegas for work, Ervin said. His Linkedin profile says that he’d worked for the city of Las Vegas since 2013.

Robinson graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management from Nevada State College and a master of business administration from Western International University, his profile says.

“I feel like this is a horrible nightmare,” Ervin wrote on Facebook, adding that her brother was the best uncle, brother, son and companion anyone could ask for.
