Did anyone catch the 8:45 media briefing??

Isn't the update at 9:45 pst?

I'm going to guess that if she initially fled but then turned herself in, it was probably an accident as opposed to being intentional. I have to wonder if the driver was under the influence though. Prayers for all involved.

She turned herself in at another casino to a security guard? That is what I read earlier. Very sad for the innocent people.

Jeez, 7 are also in critical condition and she actually stopped at one point. People were chasing her and yelling at her to stop and she started accelerating again. [video]http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/20/us/las-vegas-strip-accident/index.html[/video]
""I saw a lady, she didn't seem like she wanted to stop the car, she had both hands on her wheel and she was looking straight forward." ...

""The car rolled right in front of me. By the time I looked over to the right, all you could see was [her] driving away and people were bouncing off the front of the car, you can hear it," Nassar told the affiliate. "The windshield is smashed at this point. She rode the sidewalk, she came to a stop at the Paris intersection, people are punching into the window ... she accelerated again and just kept mowing people down."

Livestream saying 2 year old child in backseat. She refused to stop. "Sources" say impaired.

Dear God! WTF is wrong with people??

Local news says she was apprehended at Flamingo.

I guess the press conference is running behind according to the live feed you posted Angelwings

press conference - not terrorism

36 hit, 6 critical, 1 dead

not determined if it was intentional or accident yet

initial feeling is possibly intentional

they expect to have multiple videos of the incident

vehicle hit people then left sidewalk, re-entered sidewalk and hit more people

toddler in car with driver, 3 years old unharmed

has not been determined if drugs/alcohol involved

driver may have been at an event in the area for some time, do not think she is from there

may have recently moved there, vehicle is not from Nevada

press conference over

 

[AngelWings444]

Per conference - no terrorism.

She was probably afraid to stop where the accident happened, fearing for injury to her child and herself. I HOPE it was an accident and not on purpose as is being suggested now. What a horrible thing to happen.

There were 2 separate accident scenes. She went up on the sidewalk at 2 different areas to injure people. I don't think it's an accident. One scene, yes. 2 scenes, doubt it.

She drove almost a full city block hitting people, 2 different locations. One hotel was Planet Hollywood, other one was Paris Hotel. I'm not good at maps or I would post it.

This is very similar to that odd woman who drove into the College Homecoming parade a few months ago. So tragic and weird.
