Simple physics and trajectory analysis shows how unlikely it is that whomever was shooting from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay using a bump-fire stock equipped rifle in either .223 or .308 managed to hit one person three times with consecutive bullets. Would it be impossible? No, but the odds are approaching zero.
Furthermore, independent audio forensic analysis shows without a doubt the presence of at least one other shooter from around 250 yards from the person shooting one of the videos.
LE is starting from a conclusion (Paddock was the only shooter) and moving backwards looking for the evidence to fit that conclusion. A real investigation would have involved a complete shutdown of everything within about a 350 to 400 yard radius of the center of the concert venue the night of the event whereupon thorough searches would have been conducted for anything that indicated another shooter in another location - or anything out of the ordinary...
yes, i had read your post here

In theory, yes. But Impossible for LEO to have accomplished when they have thousands of people running for their lives. It would be so easy for the shooters to blend with the crowd. Easy for a shooter to have either headed upstairs and harbored in The Four Seasons Floors 35 and up.
It’s possible for a shooter to have escaped as a security or maintenance guy in uniform.
