The Latest on Las Vegas Mass Shooting [big change in story re security guard]

Security guard shot before concert shooting began

On Monday, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo announced a change to the sequence of events that occurred on Oct. 1, saying a security guard who encountered Paddock was actually shot at 9:59 p.m. local time, minutes before the 64-year-old unleashed a hail of gunfire on unsuspecting concertgoers.

Previously, authorities had said that the security guard, Jesus Campos, was shot after Paddock had opened fire on the crowd below.

Lombardo said Campos immediately reported to hotel security that he had been shot. However, responding officers did not know Campos had been shot until they arrived on the 32nd floor and encountered him, Lombardo said.

It's unclear what ultimately led Paddock to stop shooting at the people below. Officials had originally thought that Campos distracted him.

Perhaps - but I thought it was odd that the only reference to “phasade” on the whole internet was connected to a Inn in Moscow, Russia... fat thumbs and spell check can’t explain that misspelling...especially from a guy who claims to be a “structural engineer”

...it would have been much easier to run up the fire escape a few floors to The Four Seasons ...

Keep going to the roof; slip on your black wingsuit and dive off into the night; gliding a few blocks away to be picked up.

Maybe in the 1970s - pretty sure you’ll find safety glass on all windows these days. My 1994 Buick Wagon had it all around (broke a side window once) as did my old 80’s Dodge Colt (broke the hatch glass).

Somewhere it was mentioned the glass landed on a roof above ground level - and not on the ground. Still unclear how the windows appeared during the attack - we only saw them after the breach - which presumably involved some concussive blasts that might have blown out pre-shattered saftey glass.

How do you fire 200 rounds through a door and only hit the man standing in front of the door once, in the leg?

I can point to newspaper articles published a few years ago that discuss the widespread lack of surveillance cameras in guest areas of large LV hotels.

But I guess we will have to believe you, an anonymous poster on the internet, since you have been there.

Not me!

Happen to know that papers print NOTHING but the pure, unvarnished TRUTH!

Some amazing shooting right there.

I posted on some other LV thread the link to GOOGLE MAPS that showed the portico roof extending quite a distance away from the building.

Glass would have to flutter like a falling leaf to make it over to the sidewalk/drive area.

Better yet, I’m a pilot.. well not with a valid license.. because I am such a law abiding citizen, I’ll just go with guns instead of using a plane to demolish the strip.

The way I read it, he called his management from the 32nd floor and told them he had been shot.
The SWAT team did not know until they arrived on the 32nd floor.

“...One thing I’ve never understood is how Paddock could monitor the cameras he set up to see people coming and at the same time be shooting out the windows.”

That is something that puzzles me as well.
