“Shots fired in the hotel room or into the hallway and not one of the guests close by called anyone about it?”
Obviously you have never been to Vegas.
Nor hell ... as yet.
What about the smashing of TWO and very large, hurricaine-force-winds-proof windows before the shooting started? Were the windows smashed out before or after the security guard was shot?
DID ANYONE CALL THE FRONT DESK COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SMASHING OF THE GLASS WINDOWS? Is this what drew the guard to the room initially?
Was Paddock an arms dealer who was murdered and left behind prior to the real shooter escaping? Perhaps the shooting stopped because SWAT was seen by the shooter via the sneaky spy camera arrangement and that's when the shooter managed to escape.
The cops don't want to admit the real shooter escaped. There ARE ways to escape. You can even SIT ATOP an elevator (EVEN IF IT'S MOVING) and hide atop there for a while. MOST elevators have access hatches located in the top of the elevator:
I live in Las Vegas. You might be surprised to know that our first responders were helping all those they could even when under fire. The hospitals here were fully staffed by their employees minutes after the word got out about the shootings. The blood banks had people waiting in long lines to donate. “Vegas Strong” is our new motto.
I have no doubt plenty of guests called in after hearing gunshots and huge windows breaking. So where was the rest of Mandalay Bay security?
An interesting interview with the guy in 31-134, just below one of the broken windows:
‘I Was Just Going to Bed When the Shooting Started’
An IT guy from Kansas, in town for a four-day conference.
He heard gunfire but thought it was fireworks at the concert. Then came the third volley, really loud and just above, with debris hitting his window. At that point he realized something was going on. What did he do? He opened the scanner app on his phone and learned that an officer had just been shot.
But he didn't call it in, even though, at that point, he possessed probably the most valuable information. His excuse:
Q: Did you call police or the hotel desk?A: No, I didn’t. (Pauses) After I encountered the security in the hallway, I figured it didn’t matter. They were already there.
Not from Vegas, but he still didn't call.
