Bodies strewn on the grass at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casinos after the unbridled carnage created by Stephen Paddock when he fired into the crowd in Las Vegas on night of Oct 1, 2017 

MGM turned round and sued more than 1,000 victims of the shooting.
Although it owns the venue and organized the event the company  argues that it cannot be held liable for Oct. 1 deaths, injuries or other damages, adding that any claims against MGM parties “must be dismissed,” according to complaints filed Friday in Nevada and California.
“Plaintiffs have no liability of any kind to defendants,” the complaints argue.
“I’ve never seen a more outrageous thing, where they sue the victims in an effort to find a judge they like,” attorney Robert Eglet, who represented some of the victims, told the Review-Journal, accusing MGM of “judge-shopping” in federal court, rather than state court where he believes any lawsuits should be filed.
“It’s just really sad that they would stoop to this level.”

Stephen Paddock shot and killed at least 58 and injured another 850 people attending a concert in Las Vegas

MGM Resorts International in the federal lawsuits against victims  cites a 2002 federal act that extends liability protection to any company that uses “anti-terrorism” technology or services that can “help prevent and respond to mass violence.”

The FBI investigates the scene on the 32nd-floor of the Mandalay Bay. The shooter used the room as a launch pad while raining gunfire on concert goers 30 floors below on the Vegas strip on  Oct. 1, 2017

The shooter later identified as Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel into the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival last year, killing 58 people and leaving more than 850 injured.
Robert Eglet said the grounds of the litigation are “obscure.”
MGM is a Nevada company, so any lawsuits belong in state court, Eglet said. He viewed the decision to file the complaints in federal court as a “blatant display of judge shopping” that “quite frankly verges on unethical.”
“I’ve never seen a more outrageous thing, where they sue the victims in an effort to find a judge they like,” he said. “It’s just really sad that they would stoop to this level.”
The act cited in the new lawsuits was passed just more than a year after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and intentionally included broad protections. For instance, the act defines terrorism as any unlawful act inside the United States that causes “mass destruction, injury or other loss.”
The FBI has not called the Las Vegas mass shooting an act of terrorism because the gunman had no clear motive, and the FBI defines terrorism as an act of terror associated with extremist ideologies of a political, religious, social, racial or environmental nature.A gunman opened fire from his Mandalay Bay suite, killing 58 concertgoers and injuring hundreds of others.
