Las Vegas Mass Murder Initial Report, Luggage, Rifles, Revolver and AmmunitionLas Vegas Mass Murder Initial Report, Luggage, Rifles, Revolver and Ammunition

On 18 January 2018, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) released a preliminary report on the mass murder committed on 1 October 2017.

The report is unusual, a unique response to the public clamoring for facts after the shooting. Ordinarily, the LVMPD does not release information about an ongoing investigation.

This is an ongoing investigation and is not a complete report. However, the report lists a number of preliminary conclusions that many people will disagree with. Whether you disagree or not, the report contains a wealth of information and provides significant amounts of valuable data for those who are interested and attempting to understand the event, how it occurred, and what the shooter did in the years and weeks previous to the shooting from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

There are excellent diagrams and pictures of the scene and the layout that make clear many of the confusions about the event.

A detailed inventory of the firearms found in the Mandalay Bay suite consisting of rooms 32-135 and 32-134 provides significant information. Time references to the numerous times that the shooter took luggage to the suite makes it clear that there was no difficulty in the shooter bringing the 23 AR-15 and AR-10 clones, 1 bolt action .308 rifle with scope, and 1 revolver to the suite without fear of detection.

The shooter brought five suitcase bags with him on September 25th.

The shooter at the Mandalay Bay took numerous suitcases up the the 32 floor over the course of a week. For those who claim he "could not have done that" here is how he did it.

Still hard to hide that many weapons.

It’s not hard to move carts of luggage around a Vegas hotel. In this case he used valets to move much of it.

I never thought it would be difficult. Divide the 23 long guns into 4 suitcases and that’s approx. 50-55 lb.s each.

This event/story went into the rat hole. Most have lost interest in it because most understand getting the real story from the feds in this case would be as likely as them juggling flaming chainsaws while roller skating.

Paddock sounds like a gun runner. Many suspect that he was either an FBI asset, CIA asset, or perhaps both.

Nobody earns $5 million playing video poker in one year, like ABC’s Brian Ross claimed about this guy.

And the corrupt FBI dirtbag McCabe was in charge of the Las Vegas shooting investigation?

The whole investigation smells from the get go.

The most interesting part of the entire report, for me, is that Paddock’s Dell laptop was crammed with child porn images.

Demonic influence influences demonically.

Maybe Paddock downloaded the “menu” from Papa Podesta’s Pizza.

A scoped .308 is an excellent rifle for sniping.

8 Rounds expended. Are there 8 corresponding rifle strikes on the fuel tanks?

Do you know what else is near those fuel tanks? Parking for the General Aviation and Charter side of McCarron International.

I still have a feeling that Paddock was killed almost immediately and that at least 1 other shooter did all the firing. The firing on the crowd was cover for an assassination at the airport.

Most media simply ignored it. I did not find it for three weeks.

I had to write the article and post it to Ammoland.

It took them several days to publish it.

It took me a bit to post it on freerepublic.

The report lies in one of its conclusions pretty blatantly:

“Paddock committed no crimes leading up to the October 1st mass shooting. All the weapons he purchased to include all the ammunition, were purchased legally. This includes all the purchases Paddock made at gun stores as well as online purchases. Paddock did not commit a crime until he fired the first round into the crowd at the Las Vegas Village.”

Yes, he did. If he had over 700 child porn images on his computer, he committed crimes before October 1st whenever he downloaded or otherwise obtained those images.

I have always been puzzled why he shot the fuel tanks. At that range a 308 had little chance of puncturing the tanks. A 50 cal would but even that would have been of little consequence. The fuel tanks would have merely leaked and even using incendiary rounds not exploded. The vapor pressure of the fuel inside of the tanks prevents an explosive mixture. The best that could have been expected was a small fire from leaking fuel. The only way to set those tanks off would have been with an explosive shell. I do not know why he shot those tanks.

My first thought when reading this story originally was that he was making some kind of deal with the Saudis upstairs like children (porn=catalog) for guns. Then I realized Alwaleed likes both and probably needs both (along with drugs) for the muslim rebels in the Philippines. I found out quite a bit from digging into that. Anyway, I suspect he was a one stop shop for black market items. Who he worked for points to the CIA because of the planes.

I have to finally ask, after seeing that strange white and shallow device with the rifles laying about in it.

What kind of furniture is that?

You can go straight to the data:

https://www.scribd.com/document/372365636/LVMPD-Preliminary-Investigative-Report-October-1st-2018-Mass-Shooting#from_embed

Unlike the NTSB's "preliminary report" on the train-truck collision, it appears that this one is loaded with far more information than one might expect in a "preliminary report".

Have fun!

[Sorry 'bout that, Dean...] '-)

At some point, I remember reading that those are two lounge chairs pushed together.

Too many rifles to commit mass murder. I could possibly see needing 4 AR15s, a .308 rifle and a revolver, but not 23 rifles. Something else was going on.

LOL! The one thing that I learned from the report was that the oval thing filled with guns wasn't some sort of ice tub -- but two (ugly!) chairs pushed together... '-)
