Las Vegas high-rise shooting scenario a security nightmare

FILE – In this Sept. 27, 2014 file photo, a sniper team stands watch during a visit by the prime minister of India to the National September 11 Memorial, in New York. A Las Vegas shooting from a high-rise hotel that killed dozens of people in a packed concert below on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2017, has forced other cities to examine their tactics for dealing with this kind of nightmare scenario. In New York, which hosts Times Square New Year’s Eve and other events surrounded by high-rises, police say they use rooftop snipers to scan for threats, and make security sweeps of nearby hotels.
