The Las Vegas gunman’s exact location took police 72 minutes to reach after the first 911 call.
Police received the first 911 call regarding Sunday’s shooting at the country music concert at 10:08 p.m. local time, NBC News reported. By the time, Stephen Paddock was done shooting, at least 59 people were dead and 515 injured.
Officers began their search for the gunman following the call and responders discovered the gunfire was coming from a window of the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino after seeing muzzle flashes, dispatch tape showed, The Mercury News reported.
Police began searching the hotel’s 29th floor before determining the gunman was on the 32nd floor, NBC News reported.
Authorities, however, eventually located the shooter due to the large amount of smoke from the gunfire, The Washington Post reported.

One thing that did surprise me is that Paddock had free access to a spot in a tall building from which he could shoot down into over 20,000 people. I thought we’d known since JFK that you can’t allow people with rifles to have access to a position over an area you wish to protect.
Unfortunately unless you use metal detectors for entrance into every tall building, there’s no way to keep wackos from sometimes shooting at ordinary groups of pedestrians. A concentration of over 20,000 persons, though, should have better security than that.
Perp shooter had a video cam outside the hotel room in the hallway to see LEO approaching.
Wonder what happened to the “MS 13” tatoo conspiracy nuts were touting.
Guess the FBI removed it, huh?
Heard he put it on a food cart in the hall.
Correct, an accomplice would have had to have departed prior to the hotel security guard shoot.
There’s only one theory that would explain the arsenal and two windows prepared for a large massacre. He was conspiring with a terrorist organization like ISIS or antifa. They are egging him on, but not supplying financial or material support. They have agreed to join him. He stated he’d provide the place and the means for the shooters to join him.
They may have trained together and helped him carry the stuff upstairs. But on killing day, only one or two shooters arrived and they left early. They were NOT interested in dying for the cause.
However, this would mean he had to have committed suicide since someone inside his suite shot through the door at the guard. If they had offed him prior to escaping, there’d be no one to make that shot.
Or, none of his conspirators showed. He did not need manpower to pull this off. Two-three trips up with the Valet wheeled cart would get the guns and ammo into the room. He could hide the guns inside the closet until he was ready to set up. He was likely always there when the maids tidied his room.
Or it gave an accomplice(s) an hour to shoot Paddock and walk away.
The muslims left and made a clean getaway.
It was reported 2 on the cart, one pointed each direction down the hall.

Now I am seeing video posted showing people captured video of shooting that was actually taking place on another floor, a lot lower in the building.
None of this crap is adding up to anything that makes sense.
At this point I am not buying the official line on this crap.
Media already cam out just today and said we will never know the real truth as to what really happened. So the coverup process by the libtard/globalist/one worlders is already in progress with this. If it worked FOR them they would say they will not stop investigating until the entire truth is totally known and reported.
This is another soros/big govt/deep state gun grab attempt. That is what I am labeling it right now.
“Or it gave an accomplice(s) an hour to shoot Paddock and walk away.”
Not if we believe the perp shot through the door and injured a security guard as they approached the room.

The current state of journalism. They churn this stuff out, no proof reader notices the discrepancy. Probably because they can’t convert between yards and feet. Or do what you did.
Except someone shot through the door and hit the guard.

LVMPD addresses the time issues and why
In the press conference by LVPD Undersheriff Kevin McMahill, he said that LEOs entered the 32nd floor hallway of the hotel “within moments” of the Mandalay Security Officer getting shot.
McMahill said the perp had “cameras” (plural) placed outside the door and another one peering through the door peephole. It is very likely the perp saw the LEOs approaching. That was when he stopped shooting. (Based on the photo showing the congealed blood around Paddock’s head and the fact no further shots were heard, I think he took his own life at that point or shortly thereafter.)
The first 911 call came in at 10:08, and the final shots were heard at 10:19. McMahill emphasized the response time by LEOs was only *11 minutes*. He sounded kind of ticked off about all the allegations that the LVPD was slow to respond.
He said the reason SWAT waited so long was because the perp had stopped all shooting at that point, and so they treated it as a barracade situation. (Presumably if the perp started shooting again they would have gone in sooner.)

1 minute per virgin.
I read that. But it’s not clear why the security guard was out in front here. I’m trying to imagine being an unarmed security guard, or even an armed one and moving close towards the door. Approaching that door while Paddock was cranking off hundreds of rounds inside seems crazy to me.
