A Las Vegas police officer accidentally fired his gun in Stephen Paddock’s suite the night of the mass shooting, the department’s sheriff said Monday, breaking more than two weeks of silence and confirming for the first time that an officer fired his weapon during the Oct. 1 incident.

Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the gun went off after the officers made entry to the room, but the rounds were not fired in the room where Paddock was found dead.

[Paragraph 5] Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the gun went off after the officers made entry to the room, but the rounds were not fired in the room where Paddock was found dead.

Oops. Bad editing job. Sorry. This is what I wanted to highlight from Paragraph 5:

Lombardo also confirmed to the newspaper the only cameras on Paddock’s floor were facing the elevators, and there were no cameras pointed at Paddock's corner suite or towards the stairwell door next to Paddock's room. Security guard Jesus Campos, who was shot by Paddock before the mass shooting began, has said Paddock barricaded the stairwell door.

Why would the cops release this seemingly minor detail?

FlightAware data features a strange plane coming in from the North East and then fading away suddenly as it crosses the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

"The whole thing dropped off the radar rather quick."

True... I think it's because Paddock was a flaming liberal, and that's why the info is so slow and pick over before it's given to the public...

Not only liars, but this has been either one of the most incompentent police force ever or there is one big cover-up going on.

They released that information because Laura Loomer was reporting that in fact there was some exchange of gunfire some of it coming from the cops.

so this would tend to throw cold water on her story.

Inclined to agree on that.

If he had a smidgeon of conservative underwear, it would be blaring on CNN every 20 minutes.

Probably showed up in forensics.

Or maybe Paddock was shot.

From ages 0 to 60 one Paddock bought maybe two guns but right after Trump was elected he was catapulted into a frenzy of gun buying activity.

other Reports say he was extremely friendly with, maybe inspired and energized by, the very liberal ex-husband of his Filipina girlfriend.

The FlightAware data suggests that something might have been picked up by air from the roof of the Mandalay Bay right after the shooting stopped.

The roundS?

I can see that A shot may have been accidental, but roundS?

Weapon malfunction? or frozen trigger finger?

amazing how long this is being dragged out...even the freepers who were criticizing me a few weeks ago when i was pointing issues with the official narrative...here we are weeks later...and still nothing on this supposed ‘lone gunman’....

yeah, keep believing the b.s.

The FlightAware data remain fairly interesting to me but apparently what happened with the people on the runway:

as some scared people scaled the fence, viewing the open space of McCarran Airport as providing distance from the shooting.

they they ran away onto the runway itself and air raffic had to be stopped.

There was a whole bunch of them and one of the airline’s put them up for the night in a hanger until morning broke.

Janet Air has a terminal nearby. Don’t their flights ‘fade away’?
