The perp allegedly stopped shooting after nine minutes. It would be interesting to check on the time when the unarmed hotel security guard tried to break down the suite door. If that was when the perp stopped shooting out the windows, the security guard may have saved hundreds of lives.
According the latest version from today’s press conference, the security guard did not try to break down the suite door.
The new version is that a door alarm from a room down the hall from Paddock went off, and the hotel radioed the security guard to go check the room. As he was in the hall looking at that room with the door jar, there was a burst of bullets from Paddock’s room down at the end of hall.
The security guard supposedly then retreated to the elevator bank.
