"A U.S. official says the Mandalay Bay hotel casino didn't notify police that gunshots had been fired inside the tower until after a gunman opened fire ..."

Is this bad journalism, or am I missing something? Was the casino supposed to report that shots had been fired before the shots had been fired? The shots inside probably happened moments before the shots were fired outside.

Yes, it is bad journalism, but what you are missing is that there was (allegedly) a 6 minute delay between the time Campos was shot and when the gunman started firing out of the window.

So, if this unnamed source is correct, and if there really was a 6 minute delay, and if Mandalay Bay called the police the very instant the gunman started shooting out of the window, then it took the hotel 6 minutes to call the police after one of their security guards got shot.

Read a few more words. The Mandalay Bay did not call immediately when the 200 shots were (supposedly) fired down the hallway. They called police when the shooter began shooting OUTSIDE into the crowd.
