there are no eye witness of Paddock firing his weapon.
Does that mean there was no shooter?
That isn't always a logical way to determine a shooter.
Thousands of people saw the flashes from Mandalay Bay. Was it someone besides Paddock shooting? I don’t know.
Brought up a good point.
Hillary’s snide remark about, ‘imagine if they had used a silencer’, always bugged me. More of a spiritual intuition,...something about her comment oozes with a precognizant notion of events.
FWIW, there are a handful of eyewitness reports indicating there were multiple false leads to the event, such as firecrackers in the concert floor, helicopters with strobes, hotel rooms with strobes, the shooter’s room without apparent muzzle flashes, eyewitnesses who believed they were being tracked and fired upon even after running several blocks out of the area, recorded shot counts, for the 10 min period, which only account for less than 100 rounds being fired.
FWIW, I would expect for a shooter, from 32 floors up, even with a 300m range, using plunging fire without good weapon control, firing into a crowd, to only have between 1-5 out of 10 rounds hit targets. Sound recordings only account for less than 1000 rounds being fired, and some are reportedly aimed at the airport fuel tanks, other facilities in the area, but with 59 deaths and 500+ casualties.
Eyewitness reports also indicate other establishments having similar mass terror escapes from gunfire.
From what we’re seen, the casualties seem to be the result of 2-20 times amount of firepower being reported from the 32nd floor.
What has been done to sweep the entire area around the Mandalay Bay for shell casings?
