Worker warned hotel before Las Vegas shooter opened fire on crowd
CBSnews ^ | 10-11-2017 | CBS/AP

A maintenance worker said Wednesday he told hotel dispatchers to call police and report a gunman had opened fire with a rifle inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino hotel before the shooter began firing from his high-rise suite into a crowd at a nearby musical performance.

The revised timeline has renewed questions about whether better communication might have allowed police to respond more quickly and take out the gunman before he committed the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Worker Stephen Schuck says he was checking out a report of a jammed fire door on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay when he heard gunshots and a hotel security guard, who had been shot in the leg, peeked out from an alcove and told him to take cover.

"As soon as I started to go to a door to my left the rounds started coming down the hallway," Schuck said. "I could feel them pass right behind my head.

"It was kind of relentless so I called over the radio what was going on," he said. "As soon as the shooting stopped we made our way down the hallway and took cover again and then the shooting started again."

“The company that owns Mandalay Bay has questioned the new timeline.”

I bet they have.

There seems to be a problem with finding the truth.

"As soon as I started to go to a door to my left the rounds started coming down the hallway," Schuck said. "I could feel them pass right behind my head.

This is infuriatingly confusing. Am I to believe that Paddock was in the hallway as he fired at Schuck? I mean, that's what we've got to believe since "rounds started coming down the hallway", right?

"Maybe that's enough time to get the first patrolman onto the floor but the first patrolman is not going to go knock on that customer's door and say 'What's going on with 200 holes in the door?'" Hosko said.

But this suggests that Paddock was inside his guestroom and shooting into the hallway through the door. I guess both can be true if Paddock's door was perpendicular to the hallway. Is that the case?

TWA 800 again.

The perp was an arms dealer,
another FAST&FURIOUS criminal tied to the
usual (Swamp) suspects.

Waco? Now, now, Janet didn’t shoot those kids. She just burned them alive.

Las Vegas cops said they got there within seconds of the security guard getting shot....

What happened to all that?

This new timeline looks like it’s now supported by some solid evidence.

What about the woman who warned the crowd?

And the shell casings on top of the POS’s blood?

It does appear to be the case.

I know, but they was shooting a lot too,just look at the Front Door of the compound, oh that’s right, it disappeared.

Either way something about this case is really fishy, and the security guard that took the bullet , well something aint right.

Casing are not an issue. The casings were already on the floor when Paddock shot himself to death, he falls and bleed out some and then the blood simply flowed around the casing on the floor.

They need the crew of, ‘NCIS’ or ‘Criminal Minds’ on this.

It’ll all be solved in under 40 minutes! ;)

That was a government job. This guy was a civilian.

The government has more firepower.

More likely blocking an ingress point for SWAT.

It doesn't count if you don't actually "shoot" them, nor does it count if the gov't does it. /sarc
