Some confusion in this article:
- Around 10:30 p.m. – A team of six police officers coordinate with hotel security and start searching for the gunman, floor by floor, Sheriff Joe Lampardo confirmed.
When they reach the 32nd floor, they are caught in an exchange of gunfire as Paddock reportedly shoots through the door. They call for backup. A security guard was shot in the leg during the search, but there was no specifics on how he was shot.
- Between 10:30 and 11:30 – SWAT teams are sent to the room in question. They blow the door open with explosives, and find Paddock dead from a gunshot wound. He was found with around 16 guns.
- 10:38 p.m. – Police confirm the shooting and that they are investigating.

They probably had to wait to clear out the floors. My question is; How do you clean out floors and prevent the terrorist from killing more people for 1 your?
Definitely. What I transcribed was from the radio dispatch which can be confusing at times but it is officers giving real time details of what is going on.
In fact the officers knew the shooter was on the 32nd floor six minutes into the shooting because the heard it from the 31st floor.
Confusion was the operative word. They had teams searching the second floor, other teams moving to a “second shooter” on the 29th, some officers reported that shots could have come from the Luxor, they went after an elderly male in a RV that had camo fatigues on carrying a black bag.
Chaos.
How did the LEOs get caught in an exchange of gun fire with the perp?
How did he know they were there, outside his door, in the hallway? Did they knock or yell out to him?
So at that point, he was still alive, which means they would have heard the single shot when he took his own life.
It is amazing that the FBI was able to figure out within an hour or two, that the perp was just a “lone wolf” who snapped. But after a year of investigating Trump,they still can’t find any Russians in his closet.
Imagine that...
