I agree. But I am still hesitant to criticize Mandalay Bay based on the 6 minute figure at this point. That is an assumption based on a comment from an unnamed source. It could have been 4 minutes, which might be more reasonable. But it might have been 10 minutes, or even longer, which would have been an eternity under the circumstances.
Also, if we want a full picture, we need to know when the cops were first called by anyone, not just the hotel.
I’m sure they called their own security first, to see what was going on. Somebody said upthread 200 shots were supposedly fired inside the hotel at that point. That sounds like an awful lot to shoot at one maintenance man who survived. It wasn’t until he opened up outside that they realized they had some gawdawful shite on their hands and call a po-lice.
