Just breaking. A lot of repots on Twitter from people.

True Pundit reported this:

An active shooter reportedly on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay bar Hotel in Las Vegas has gunned down at least one police officer and others.

I didn’t say that was the case. It’s why I said, “I dunno”.

Btw, there are also reports he was or did sued the Mandala Bay over a slip and fall lawsuit.

It was a different casino he sued...the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

Worse still: He was an accountant at Lockheed Martin. How high up is a question, but the fact is he had a bunch of property.

Probably right. Also would have drawn fire on the guy on the lights perhaps. Either way it was a good idea.

Maids did go in and out of the room. I think it is guaranteed that he had assistance but the media will bury it. The lack of data coming out tells me that the optics are very inconvenient to the narrative of a right-wing Trump-supporter gun nut. It reminds me of Orlando and San Bernadino. Silence, then Muslim confirmed and then silence.

Uhhh..lets see maids are in and out of the room and they don't notice all these weapons,35 guns accd. to trace Gallagher seconds ago,id be interviewing these maids pretty aggressively....

Exactly there is much more going on here than meets the eye, Brett Hume just described this guy as 'a millionaire accountant who did very well' and now we learn he's accomplished enough with firearms to do what he did,who the hell is this guy for real,we are just learning.

If we get close it will all be shut down guaranteed. guy had his own plane--Trace Gallagher--just now. I say again who the hell is this guy....?

Good post,the brother may know a lot,I'm sure the right people are not through interviewing him don't be surprise if he lawyers up really quick.

Catherine Herridge saying this is a lot of work for a single individual,she has her suspicions but won't make any claims. Isis claiming that shooter had ties with al Baghdaddi

Here is another take:
http://fortune.com/2017/10/02/las-vegas-shooting-police-found-shooter/

When a shooter began firing Sunday night at concertgoers at the Route 91 Festival, Las Vegas police could see the gunfire coming from the Mandalay Bay Hotel, but they weren’t sure of his exact location. Within 20 minutes, though, the gunman was dead. How did they manage to locate him so quickly?
It wasn’t a room by room search or even a notification from another guest. It was the smoke alarm in his hotel room.
Randy Sutton, a retired Las Vegas police lieutenant, tells the Washington Post that the small bits of smoke that emerge every time a round is fired, quickly reached a point that set off the in-room smoke detector.
Vegas casinos, especially ones as large as Mandalay Bay, which spans 135,000 feet and has 3,309 rooms, can quickly pinpoint where problems are occurring, which led police to the shooter’s 32nd floor room.

Another thread is talking like it was 72 minutes from start to room break-in — oh, well we are never going to get the straight story.

Earlier on this thread there was a link given to a Twitter account of his == @Thepads.

It was up when I checked it earlier today but had been wiped. It was a 2010 account 7 years old with 2 pics of him so it was probably used but wiped at some time.

Now it is fully taken down and doesn’t exist.

They talk about him as no social footprint, but he had one and it was erased by he or others.

They have the time of the recorded "Breach, breach, breach" where they blew the door. Dailymail insists that was at 11:20 pm, 72 minutes after first 911 call at 10:08.

That just doesn't seem possible, but if true, then anything can be the truth.

Exactly we are just starting with this guy and already today I noticed a little hide and seek going on with the claim that he was ISIS. Initially I found it on Reuters quite easily. Later on it was really hard to find.Someone or some group is running all this. We just don’t know who.Yet.

If its 72,that's a really long time. I think I would buy the fire alarm thing before that,it just makes common sense if it can be verified. Even then its over 20 minutes. This guy did a lot of firing in that time if he was alone. I don't count anything out yet.

If this guy did what he did,his entire existence is covered up pretty well,I'm trying to think who has that capability, who can cover up someones lifetime and get away with it.....hmmmm....

If, and this is pure speculation, IF he was a big lefty and had decided to go our with a big impact due to (1) cancer, (2) girl split, (3) sudden jihad syndrome, or (4) you name it — AND he wanted to damage his favorite targets of guns, and right-wingers, isn’t what happened exactly that operation?

Problem is if you go there the possibilities are almost endless. We know very little about him.I think in a week or two we will know a hell of a lot more than we do now.
Very few millionaires are this anonymous.

That twitter page is stilled available as a cached page on Google.

In one photo, Paddock is wearing a Jeremiah Weed t-shirt. In another, one can see a barbed wire tattoo on his upper arm. The photos may date from his join date, October 2010.

If the guy is an Alaska bush pilot hobby type who has lived all over, 34 weapons is not that much if he was a big hunter. First subtract the 2 modified weapons that were mentioned that leaves 32. Then take out shotguns, which with two homes, upland game, waterfowl etc is easily 7 shot guns.

Again, two planes, two homes a couple of vehicles this guy probably had 12 hand guns, revolvers, pistols, and CCW. That leaves 13 small and large caliber rifles. Three rim fire, and then we have six large cal and four varmint.

Any number that is not reasonable, remember that I did not include commemorative, collectables or old-timer oddities.
