Officials: Vegas shooter intended to escape, may have had accomplices
ABC Channel 7 News (San Francisco) ^ | October 4, 2017 | Unknown

Las Vegas officials held a press conference Wednesday revealing more information and insight into the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.

They believe the shooter, Stephen Paddock intended to escape the hotel room he was shooting from following the massacre and are actively looking for accomplices.

A Texas firearms dealer who had sold handguns to Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock in 2010 and 2011 remembers him coming into the shop last year with girlfriend Marilou Danley.

Paul Peddle, who owns B & S Guns in Garland, Texas, said Wednesday that Paddock didn't buy anything on the most recent visit but asked about a way to modify a gun to make it easier to pull the trigger.

He said Paddock had never purchased any long guns that could have been used in the attack on a crowd of concertgoers on Sunday.

Peddle said Danley didn't show any interest in guns.

He says at the city's Metropolitan Police headquarters that, "Our souls are stricken with grief for every American who lost" someone in Sunday night's shooting. He added, "We will struggle through it together."

Maybe he intended the airport fuel tank explosions as a diversion for his escape.

Intention was to blow up the fuel tanks.

Likely the accomplices got cold feet and didn’t follow through with their part in the plan.

But was to blow up the tanks. Drive the crowd closer to the hotel and then shoot fish in a barrel. Maybe set off an explosion there as well. Could have been hundreds killed.

He also had an escape plan.

The “lone wolf” story is falling apart.

Maybe detonating the tannerite in the car was of their part of the getaway plan?

Or near the fuel tanks... or as the people ran away.

One of the Fox guests today implied we will soon know the political motivation.
Antifa, ISIS, Never Trumpers? We will find out....

Tanks, tannerite, conspiracy likely. It ran during Tucker’s show. Go watch!

You have a very good question.

I’m finding more info from other articles on this sheriff talk. I was thinking of posting other articles but will try to wait until i can find whole unedited transcript/video instead.

I was surprised to hear a gun dealer who sold the guns to him claiming that his girlfriend was in the store with him, that sounds like major new info

Which theory?

The “theory” that the Sheriff explained at his press conference tonight about the fuel tanks? About him having accomplices?

Yes. I ‘push’ the facts. That’s how I roll!

lol
