“I have wondered, watching the coverage, why police didn’t lay down suppressive fire on those windows.”

Las Vegas cops are not in the business of ham-handed military assaults on buildings housing thousand of paying tourists that are visiting their city.

At night, you can’t tell where one window ends and the next begins. Nor did they know which window to engage. Your recipe is not one for success.

Not to mention the affect gravity would have on any shots being attepted at a window hundreds of yards away and 32 stories up in the air. As Obiwan said "It's over, I have the high ground"
