Las Vegas mass killer Stephen Paddock booked two hotel rooms overlooking the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago this summer, according to a report Thursday.

Paddock specifically requested both rooms to have a sweeping view of Grant Park — about 500 yards away — but never showed up, sources told TMZ.

Among the 400,000 people who packed the venue in the Windy City was Malia Obama, 19, the former president’s older daughter.

The plot thickens.

changed his mind - probably too many democrat victims

Now it is clear why Austin’s ACL fest announced they are looking at expanded security.

[Bon of Babble]

Yes, it does. The media are throwing everything against the kitchen wall to see what sticks.

Did the shooter try to take out jet fuel tanks?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes more and more will come out. Was he really a lone wolf? Was he really a legitimate millionaire or was he laundering money for someone? Is he somehow a fall guy? Time will tell.

Listening to Jeffrey T. Kuhner saying that the LV shooter was even conssdering Boston Fenway Park.

[blueunicorn6]

He booked rooms at three locations.

He shot up one.

It doesn’t matter how many he booked and didn’t shoot up.

It could have been practice.

He might have been looking for a tail.

He only shot up one location.

Paddock obviously wasn’t targeting a specific audience or a specific city - sounds more like a ISIS inspired attack on a large American crowd - any outside, tightly packed, American crowd would do...

[reasonisfaith]

This seems more like he was intentionally setting up distractions. While planning to hit LV all along.

That he was thinking “hmm I know I want to kill a bunch of people, I just don’t know which state to do it in” is just not very plausible.

[reasonisfaith]

Unless he was also acting with antifa or other domestic communists, which hasn’t been ruled out.

Who is Jeffrey Kuhner?

I think that was what the 50 pounds of explosives were for.

Of the station WRKO AM station of Boston. Same station of Howie Carr.

[Jane Long]

Love listening to Kuhner. I haven’t heard him, in years. Only when he subbed for Michael Savage, when I used to listen to him.

How scary....Fenway Park.

[fwdude]

This guy was severely sick.

[Biggirl]

Correction: considering.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s at least the third event he monitored

[reagandemocrat]

Long drive to Chicago. He couldn’t get all those firearms there by plane. Boston, too.

Unless....

[Mears]

Thanks.

While this is evidence he wasn't targeting a specific audience, I don't think it is conclusive. He may have been planning to do a trial run.
