Melanie Escalante- mass shooting in Las Vegas

Summary: A Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas turned deadly Sunday night after someone began shooting from a hotel room diagonally across the street. About 60 people have died and over 200 were injured.

Synthesis: Similar to this mass shooting is the Ariana Grande concert that was bombed in May. Although the incident at the Harvest Festival wasn't exactly terrorism, it was an act of hatred that brought terror upon many. Both incidents have affected the music industry and those who support it. It doesn't matter if one incident was a mass shooting and the other was a bombing, both are horrible horrible things that happen to completely innocent people just trying to have fun.

Analysis: My heart aches for all the lives lost and everyone else impacted by this tragic event. I wish there was a way to prevent all of this but the shooter wasn't even at the festival so no one could've seen this coming. I wanna know what made this man decide to stay in a hotel room and kill concert-goers just to kill them. Each individual at that concert lived very different lives and you never know the situations or emotions they could've been dealing with. I pray that the families and friends of those affected can find peace one day and live happy lives.
