The Las Vegas shooting is a reminder of the limits of stopping or preventing a sniper attack
LAS VEGAS - He was a quarter of a mile away and a few hundred feet high - the smallest of specks in a boisterous landscape.
They were 22,000 targets in an open field, dodging gunfire on a night when music turned to madness.
Some staked their lives on the shelter of a beer cart, a food truck, a cooler. Those who ran had little sense of direction. Were they racing toward the shots? Would a car, a restaurant, a hotel closet, become refuge or a trap?
The mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival would leave nearly 60 people dead
