Catalans started to form queues early on Sunday morning as they sought to defy Spanish authorities by voting in a banned independence referendum that has raised fears of unrest in the wealthy northeastern region.

The referendum, declared illegal by Spain’s central government, has thrown the country into its worst constitutional crisis in decades and raised fears of street violence as a test of will between Madrid and Barcelona plays out.

Civil Guard national police reinforcements also began deploying in the pre-dawn darkness in Barcelona where about 100 police vans streamed into the capital of Catalonia from the port where they had been stationed.

“I have got up early because my country needs me,” said Eulalia Espinal, a 65-year-old pensioner who started queuing with around 100 others outside one polling station, a Barcelona school, in rain at about 5 a.m. (0300 GMT).

Voting was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT), but there was no sign of ballot boxes or voting slips on the tables being set up at the station where Espinal was queuing.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen but we have to be here,” she said.

Afternoon summary
41m ago

from The Guardian link I quoted above:

• Catalonia’s government says 337 people have been injured, some seriously, during a police crackdown on the independence referendum this Sunday.
• Nine police officers and two members of the Guardia Civil have been injured in the disorder, according to the Spanish interior ministry.
• The voting has been marred by a brutal police crackdown in which several instances of violence against voters have been recorded. Videos show police dragging voters from polling stations by their hair, unprovoked attacks on protesters and Spanish police attacking Catalan firefighters.
• There have been several calls for the Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, to resign over the police response from Catalan politicians and opposition MPs.
• Barcelona’s La Liga fixture against Las Palmas is being played behind closed doors as a result of the disorder.

Las Vegas shooting - live updates: More than 50 dead as gunman identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock

News continues to come in. It is the worse shooting incident in US in many years.The shooting was from the 32 storey of The Mandalay Bay hotel with one or more automatic weapons on the attendants of a pop concert.
If people are to defend themselves against such attacks are they supposed to lug 23 mm cannon around? Would it not be better to have adequate police?

 

[Equation]

Right now the body count is over 50 confirmed dead. My condolences to all of the victims families and love ones to this horrible act of terrorism.

... this horrible act of terrorism. ...

... might've been an international terrorism if indeed the shooter had been in contact with ISIL:
