Shooting at NYNY (edited title)

[palman]

Apparantly, within the last hour there was a huge shooting at NYNY. I've heard various reports ranging from 10+ dead by a guy who walked in there with a machine gun and opened fire and is still on the loose and the strip is shut down, to 4 people shot but not dead by 2 gunmen who are captured.

Mod Edit - nobody actually died

I'm not too far from New York/New York, but I haven't seen any police or paramedics...Not in any way saying that this is not true...Just that I haven't heard anything...

Wow this is just terrible. Not good for the casino industry in the least. In all honesty though I am a little suprised this hasn't happened sooner.

It has happened before, it will happen again. The example that comes to mind most readily was the aftermath of the Mike Tyson ear-biting incident at the MGM Grand in '97. In addition to the debacle of the fight itself, rival gangs got into a shooting match as the bout ended, which spilled out onto the casino floor, forcing a temporary shutdown of the casino (though not the hotel).

These things are usually hush-hushed very quickly by TPTB, for fear of the bad PR. I know about this one because I happened to be in town that weekend. Furthermore, this incident was referred to in passing in one of those books by Ben Mezrich about the MIT BJ teams.
