When did the cartridge cases fall ON TOP of the shooter’s pool of blood?

[TTFlyer]

When seconds count the police are an hour and fifteen minutes away.

[knarf]

If it’s buzzfeed, it’s boojit !

[MayflowerMadam]

That’s been asked before. Many responses were the same: the type of material used in making the cartridges naturally repels blood and it would have just run down and completely off the cartridge.

[raiderboy]

Ha!! Is that true? Funny.

[allendale]

No. This has unfolded over the past fifty years. People have become conditioned to accept the strange, the bizarre and the deviants among them. Pseudo tolerance prevents people from making rational judgments and discourages definitive action. If the truth is ever told there were undoubtedly many people aware of parts if not all of this lunatic Paddock’s actions. All said and did nothing. Political correctness is delusional thinking. People are being conditioned to ignore that which does not fit the acceped narrative even if it means harm will come to them.

[raiderboy]

The police seem to say they didn’t have to breach the room “because he quit firing”. That is hind sight. What if he had started firing again . I see no reason for a72 minute delay but maybe that is just me.

[marktwain]

Many of the times reported in this article are suspect.

The first 911 call was recorded at 10:08.

I have read elsewhere that shooting stopped (at outside targets (at 10:18 or 10:19).

Excellent point. I did not notice that. I just had a second look at the photo and...just damn. I'd love to hear an explanation for that. Second shooter in the room? SWAT firing at a dead body? Paddock firing on SWAT?

[Sacajaweau]

I’m sure they had to assume it was booby trapped...and did some peeking. Better safe than sorry.

[gathersnomoss]

“Move along...nothing to see here”

[TexasFreeper2009]

considering the fact he had 50+ pounds of explosives ... caution in hindsite was very warranted.

When did the cartridge cases fall ON TOP of the shooter’s pool of blood?

You mean, how long did it take the blood to flow out of his head and pool around and under the brass?

[techrules2002]

I heard he fired 200 rounds through the door to his room and hit the hotel security guard in the leg - - the door that has the yellow crime scene tape x’d over it doesn’t have any holes in it that I can see - - am I looking at the wrong door - - - if I fire 200 rounds at anything - - at least more than one are going to his the same object - -

[Mr. K]

Where are the hundreds of spent brass?
There were AT LEAST 500 shots - probably many more. (almost 1000?)
Did he switch guns? I can’t imagine using the same gun for 1000 rounds without it getting too hot.

[RinaseaofDs]

Good catch!

[hoosiermama]

The two bedroom unit also had an outside single door. It had a connecting door to the larger room. The door into that master suite room had a double door.

[caligatrux]

Excellent point. I did not notice that. I just had a second look at the photo and...just damn. I'd love to hear an explanation for that. Second shooter in the room? SWAT firing at a dead body? Paddock firing on SWAT?

One plausible explanation is that it was accidentally kicked into the blood by one of the many, many LEOs that were in and out of that room after he was dead.
