Shooting Reported at Las Vegas Casino Hotel

Smh this terrorist was planning this attack for a lil while. He just finally carried it out. His background is odd. Dude played call of duty in real life smh. Scary ish.
 
Amazing what people dudes will suddenly get behind because it supports their stance on guns. Kinda disgusting.

still no videos of this guy walking around the hotel/casino? Even after reports of people seeing him at the high limit slots?

Who said there isn't? I'm sure there's hours upon hours of surveillance film investigators are combing through. They have no obligation to make them public at this point.
 
We know casinos prey on the weak. I wonder if well see just how much he spent or won. They talked about wire transfers, which had a paper trail. But everything else, the casinos are being quiet about. It all feels suspicious. But I guess they have to be cautious with pending lawsuits. I just wonder why nothing has leaked about his everyday spending habits. Like if someone at the high stakes area saw him acting odd days before it happened. But they did nothing.

I know there's elevator cameras and fire exit cameras. Even hallway cameras for every floor in the hotel area. Somethings not adding up
 
You would think if you have this crazy urge to kill people you would start by going after people that maybe ****ed you over in life. But no this guy goes and merks random innocent strangers. Makes no sense.

read an article yesterday, the person being interviewed is employed by a casino, he was basically saying how a lot of casino's like to keep stuff that goes bad on the down low because they dont want their name getting dragged through the mud, mentioned about how theyd find people ODing and the casino security would try and keep them alive just to move em off their property so they wouldnt have to deal with the bad media if they died.

anyways like mentioned above im pretty sure they have footage of him checkin in and anything he did in the casino while outside his room. that article probably was mentioning the cameras he set up to see when they were moving in on him.
 
More opinions on the shooter and his "suicide"

  • The mass murderer shot himself in the mouth with a snub-nosed revolver that had no hammer.
  • Many if not most hammerless snub-nose revolvers have no safety catch.
  • These weapons are meant to be carried concealed, by experts
  • The Las Vegas mass murderer was a wannabe. He used devices on his rifles that make them almost uncontrollable.
  • The police said today that he had an escape plan, and they think he was trying to implement it.
  • So we have a crazy, incompetent, panicky loser with a pistol in his jacket pocket--I'm sure--and he's wearing tactical gloves.
  • Tactical gloves can dull sense of feeling.
  • The death photo shows that the mass murderer survived the shot to the mouth and coughed out three gouts of blood.
  • He drowned on his own blood, and he smeared blood on his jacket
  • He was a rifle in his left hand. He was juggling a rifle and a hammerless pistol.
  • After he shot himself, he fell ONTO THE RIFLE HE WAS HOLDING. I'm now convinced that he ACCIDENTALLY shot himself.
  • And THAT is why the cops say they BELIEVE he killed himself. I've never once heard the police say that.
  • They ALWAYS say that the suspect killed himself. This is the first time I've heard cops express uncertainty.
  • Maybe he was pacing and raving, waving the guns, and the pistol fired.
  • If you're crazy, panicked, and careless, you can accidentally shoot yourself. Easily.
  • Thus from the position of the rifles at his feet and under his ***, and from the type of pistol he had, I conclude accidental death.
  • He shot himself, and his knees gave out. He fell on his *** and then backwards, his legs kicking out.
  • A very SLOW and AGONIZING accidental death.
 
Here is a timeline the sheriff provided at last nights press conference

10:05 p.m.
Paddock opens fire after smashing two windows of his suite with a hammer, aiming at the music festival crowd. The shots are caught on closed-circuit television from the concert venue.

10:12 p.m.
After working their way up the building, two Las Vegas police officers make it to the 31st floor of the hotel. One radios in: "I'm inside the Mandalay Bay on the 31st floor, I can hear automatic fire coming from one floor ahead... one floor above us."

10:15 p.m.
Paddock fires his final shots, which are recorded on an officer's bodycam.

10:17 p.m.
The two officers arrive on Paddock's floor.

10:18 p.m.
A hotel security guard tells Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers he's been shot, and provides the room number from which Paddock was firing.

10:26 - 10:30 p.m.
Eight more officers arrive on the 32nd floor. Not hearing gunfire, they move down the hall, clearing rooms along the way in case he has barricaded himself.

10:55 p.m.
The officers arrive in the stairwell nearest the suite at the north end of the hall. Noting two cameras set up on a room service cart, they pull back to wait for backup in the form of a SWAT team.

11:20 p.m.
SWAT officers use an explosive to breach the door to Paddock's suite, discovering him inert on the ground. Officers note the door to one of the suite's bedroom's is closed.

11:27 p.m.
The team use another charge to gain entry to a room, but discover it empty. An officer radios that the suspect is down.
 
Paddock erected a solid mesh privacy screen that blocked his neighbors' view of his home. About 20 of them signed a petition, and the homeowner's association ordered him to take it down, neighbors said. The HOA refused to comment.

Neighbor Scott Smith said he couldn't understand why anyone would want to obscure a gorgeous view of the town below. "Why would you not have that lot for the view? Obviously, he wanted privacy."
Another neighbor said Paddock told her, "I don't want to be looking at people, and I don't want people looking at me."

Window treatments at Paddock's house on Babbling Brook Court made it hard to see inside. His neighbor, Scott Smith, knew he was a gambler, and assumed he slept during the day.
Danley was pleasant, Smith said; Paddock, not so much. He wouldn't wave back. He seemed to have tunnel vision, to be in his own world.

wow i thought the original story was the fire alarm in his room went off because of gun smoke and that lead police to him.

with the story that he had cameras set up in the hall i figured he saw the cops coming and shot himself right before they got there. This def could have been way worse if he accidentally killed himself 40mins before he was found. That is a long time he could have used to shoot more...or i guess try to escape

Def not 40 mins before they found it. Check the timeline i posted above.
 
Just saw the time line sounds like they found it early but didn't breach because the gun fire stopped so they cleared out adjacent rooms first then went in. So sounds like they were there pretty timely (respectively...obviously not fast enough but faster then one might think)
 
damn...almost took them an hour to gain entry...? and he only shot for 9-11 minutes...?

they had the key at 10:18...

"After being shot, Campos spoke with police officers at 10:18 p.m., giving them the shooter's exact room and key pass."

Yup they reported since shots were not longer being fired. The situation changed to barricaded suspect.

Ex-military was staying in a room below him and reported the shots were coming from directly above.
 
He listed in his real estate application his profession being a high stakes gambler. He noted that he gambled 1 million dollars a year. He also purchased the house in Mesquite in cash on the spot, paying $368,000
 
I wonder why he didn't fight the police from his room.

With all that arsenal up there, I would have assumed he was going to go all out. But he didn't.
