Active shooter @ Mandalay Bay.

And it's bad. Five criticals taken to Sunrise hospital, victims also self transporting to hospital...
Now reports of shots at NYNY. At the front desk.
It's bad.

I'm following Vegas police scanner on broadcastify.com

I've been in firsthand contact with someone there, who was definitely shot at.

To let us know his stage crew had come under fire, he was ok, and they were boarding up the entrances. Most definitely shooting there.

I have a friend who works there and they're freaking out right now. I just reached out to them to make sure they're alright, and they are, but they're in a state of shock right now. They're saying the police think the person was possibly a guest there?!

I just read they're saying it's possibly taken place at three different casinos. My friend there doesn't know anything about the other two incidents being reported via the internet yet. She said they're only aware of the shooting there at the Mandalay Bay at this point in time.
