But the retired 64-year-old also broke a second window and fired at two circular, white-pained fuel tanks 1,110 feet from the concert site on the edge of McCarran International Airport.
Officials have now confirmed he hit the tanks twice, although the bullets did not pierce their shells. Construction crews have already whitewashed the damage. “Airport fueling has not been compromised,” airport spokesman Chris Jones acknowledged. “It’s functional.” If it really was Paddock's intention to hit those tanks, he would have known enough to have brought up a Barrett .50 cal rifle with him, instead of 23 AR10s and AR15s.
