Big Change in the Las Vegas Shooting Timeline

Previously, the reported timeline was the security guard, Jesus Campos, was shot and wounded in the leg, by the Las Vegas mass murderer at about 10:17- 10:19, 10 minutes *after* he started shooting at the

In the revised time-line, authorities are saying Campos was shot and wounded in the leg at 9:59 p.m., as he approached the door of suite 135, on the 32nd floor. *before* the shooting on the crowd started.

There are many changes in possible scenarios that come with this revelation, and many questions.

The security guard is reported as responding to a “door ajar” alarm on another room.  Why was he shot? Sheriff Lombardo says Campos reported the shooting immediately, but the police did not know about it until they discovered him on the 32nd floor, wounded, about 18 minutes later.  From abcnews.go.com:

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.

According to the new time-line, the shooting on the crowd did not happen for another 6+ minutes. That is a long time for no action to be taken on the shooting of a security guard. The mass killer may have panicked at the vision of the security guard. It may have preempted his plans, precipitating

The fire alarm was set off by the cops breaching Paddock’s door per the very same cops who breached the door, on 60 minutes this last Sunday.

It was correct a few days ago that the security guard was called to check a door alarm. Not a fire alarm.

Brian Hodge apparently denied this article and he never saw two shooters. On his FB he denied it, and said the article was wrong.

I heard something about a maintenance man on the police scanner audio at the time of shooting too.
That audio is very illuminating.

I think I’ve realized that we (society) are a bunch of impatient morons who are addicted to instant gratification. When we don’t have this case wrapped up in a day or two then everyone starts with it’s a conspiracy, when in reality they’re just collecting evidence etc.
The need to give us something immediately leads to officials making premature statements before all the evidence is in they have to wind up retracting.

It hasn’t been two weeks since the shooting. Lets wait a few more weeks. Also, if Paddock legitimately never talked to anyone about his reasons or motive and didn’t leave a manifesto or trail to someone else? We’re never going to know his motivation, and sometimes in life that’s the way it is.

I was unaware that rebuttal. Has the story been retracted in its entirety, including the the chase of the Mandalay security guard to the Luxor Hotel?

Those are vents, not broken windows. Here is a video from the other day where someone else raised the same question....

But here is a streetview from Feb, 2017... you can see that they were there then and in the same pattern. https://www.google.com/maps/@36.0934122,-115.1802561,3a,75y,94.84h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sS0MZcdYEx1LW3qdNknmC5w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

You can see them in this picture as well and it is dated Sept, 2014 so three years old.... http://magicofmiles.boardingarea.com/2014/09/27/hotel-review-mandalay-bay/

I do not think he deliberately shot at the avgas tanks.

Las Vegas shooter fired 'incendiary' rounds at fuel tank

Maybe, if the attack was imminent.
The real attack could have been scheduled for hours later, or the next day.

I am thinking of the terrorist attack on that mall in Europe, a few years back.

I understand the rifles were scattered around the room, NOT, stacked and ready near one of the two sniper platforms/broken windows.

Then we have the six minute pause before he sprays the crowd with bullets.
Tells me the loser was in prep mode, not waiting in position to start an attack

Hopefully, we find out what happened.
Importantly, Homeland Security figures out how to defend agaist this kind of attack
