The Las Vegas mass killer reportedly tried to create a gigantic explosion during Sunday’s carnage by shooting at two large jet fuel tanks located near the Vegas Strip.

Stephen Paddock left the two round aviation fuel containers with bullet holes during the mass shooting that killed 59 and injured hundreds — but luckily he could not penetrate the tanks, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The tanks are at an airport about 1,100 feet from the site of the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, where chaos unfolded when Paddock opened fire from his Mandalay Bay hotel room.

Jet fuel is kerosene. AFAIK, it burns but doesn't explode. Maybe he figured a jet of burning fuel could create a lake of fire, incinerating thousands.

I hate reporters. How the heck do you "leave holes" without penetrating?
