Sounds like he got left to be the patsy. It’s happened before.

He must have had help because no normal person could have pulled this off. Who trained him? Where did he get the information to modify his weapons? BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...

1. The internet is the largest library in the world. Anyone with a smart phone has no excuse for not being educated because they have access to a knowledge base that is unparalleled in world history. He could have learned everything he needed to know to pull this off by spending time online.

2. Digital footprint. A burner phone is all he needed to access the above mentioned data. A wireless connection at Starbux or wherever could have been used for a laptop to access the same info.

3. Training. Obviously he was proficient enough to handle weapons. There are countless miles of remote public lands in Nevada where a person can shoot all day and not be bothered by anyone and be home for dinner.

4. Weapons acquisition. Per Google, there are over 50 gun related business including gun shops, pawn shops and ranges located in Las Vegas, 47 in Reno, a several dozen in Sparks and Carson City and 10 in Pahrump. He could have acquired the guns one at a time from different shops and never visited the same store twice.

5. Getting all the gear into the room. No brainer. Gear is broken down and packed into suitcases and hauled to his room in 2 or 3 trips using a luggage dolly. Make one trip in the morning and another later at night after the shift change and no one would have seen him making multiple trips.

Anyone with a depraved mind, finances and the ability to learn on their own could have pulled this off.

Did he have any tracer rounds left in his arsenal?

I’ve heard only two rounds struck the fuel tanks, which isn’t much and could have been just “spray” from his “spray and pray” bump stock attack. If the tanks were seriously targeted, more than two rounds would have struck, followed by something like a tracer to ignite the leaking Avgas.
