Las Vegas Shooting

It makes me feel ill at ease when I could easily see myself in the victims' shoes - I've been on that walkway many a time. And it's no surprise that they are back to normal operations so quickly - it takes more than just a little blood to deter a casino from its day-to-day operations:
A gunman opened fire on people in the New York-New York casino in Las Vegas early Friday morning -- wounding four people before he was tackled by officers and patrons and arrested.

Police said the man is believed to be in his early 50s and a Las Vegas resident.

Two women and two men were taken to a local hospital with what is being described as non-life threatening injuries.

Police said the gunman entered the casino from the walkway to the MGM Grand a little before 1 a.m. and randomly shot at people on the casino floor below.

...They said no hotel employees were hurt and the casino and hotel were operating normally again Friday morning.
