Las Vegas Gunshot Victim Believes There Were Multiple Shooters
Blast ^ | October 5, 2017

Posted on 10/08/2017 8:40:58 AM PDT by ilovesarah2012

One of the victims in Sunday’s Las Vegas mass shooting claims the onslaught felt like it was carried out by more than one person, and thinks he has the evidence to support it.

The Blast spoke with Rocky Palermo, who has 30-40 pieces of bullet shrapnel still inside his body after taking a .223 round to the pelvis. He says the bullet was inches from paralyzing or even killing him.

Palermo strongly believes there were between 3-5 active shooters during the attack because as he ran away from the initial gunfire, he describes bullets not only raining down, but flying horizontally at the crowd.

Palermo strongly believes there were between 3-5 active shooters during the attack because as he ran away from the initial gunfire, he describes bullets not only raining down, but flying horizontally at the crowd.

The easy way to determine that is to look at any walls or vertical surfaces in the area in and around the "beaten zone." If there are bullet impacts or marks on walls or other vertical surfaces that are not ricochets, maybe there were rounds coming from different direction and elevation to support the multiple shooter theory. Especially if they are on surfaces that could not be in the LOS/LOF of Paddock's position.

Another thing to look for would be stray casings in locations that were nowhere near Paddock's position.

Were there any other windows in the hotel broken from the inside outward? I've only seen the photos of the two in rooms that Paddock had secured.

Paddock seems to be the only shooter at this point. But my guess is he had help/support from others even if he was ultimately the only one to carry it out. I just hope we get the whole truth one day.

Shell shocked is just a term people use to describe anyone who has been through a traumatic event and how that event can and does effect your emotional memory. I don’ think the poster was being literal.

Anyway, it’ snot about impugning character is a FACT that witnesses in situations like this are extremely unreliable. Not because they’re lying are idiots. Just because of how the mind works under stress and traumatic situations, and how that absolutely effects one’s memory of that situation/event.
Add to the fact it was dark, people running around screaming, and you add another element that can cause one’s recall memory to be very inaccurate.

What makes you “reliable”?

Why do some here so *desperately* want the official narrative to be promoted?

We should always have independent investigation and consideration of any event which is being used to argue the need for restriction of Constitutional rights. The deep state scum have made it that way.

Actually, there is video of the muzzle flashes. I caught it all on my own, Monday morning during the initial reports. Wasn’t at all hard to spot. Surprised you haven’t seen it yet.

I would think bullets fired from such a high angle would ricochet vertically or near vertically. Any collateral damage to items or buildings far away that’s been reported?

It is difficult to break those windows. However, I think a couple of breaching rounds with a shotgun would probably do the trick, and a hammer would only be needed to clear away the loose/shattered glass. I don’t know if there was a shotgun among the recovered weapons though.

Just watched the Fox interview with Steve Wynn and he said no one had seen Paddock or Danley consume any alcohol but the alleged hairdresser said when Paddock came in for a haircut he always reeked of alcohol.

That would be puzzling not to see muzzle flashes. That being said, there were a lot of spent rounds on the floor. Each casing fired from any particular weapon can be matched through forensics to that weapon. They will be able to recover some rounds from the victims intact, and they will be able to match the striations from those rounds to the rifles which fired them. Paddock is going to have a LOT of gunshot residue on his body from each weapon he fired. Which also means that a lot of gunshot residue is going to be on various objects in the room.

And the exits being blocked? In what way did he sound shell-shocked. I listened to him and he sounded completely rational.

If that were the case, then I would expect even more carnage.

Somebody shooting from ground level would be much more easily heard and seen.

a) Wouldn't it cause a LOT of noise inside the hotel to break out these windows BEFORE the shooting started?

I read that glass rained down into a valet parking area, causing the attendants to call security.

I wonder how difficult it would have been to remove, rather than break, the window. Watch how the NYPD dealt with that guy who scaled the outside of Trump Tower last year:

Note the large window pane a floor or two above the climber. It's not just flexing in the wind. See what happens at t=1m53s.

Not what I would call a “reliable” witness of the events. Just another guy suffering from “shell Shock”

Seriously? What about the people who have been in our armed forces that are on Youtube telling their experiences that night and saying more than one shooter? How about the videos of the inside of the Bellagio saying a shooter there and even talking to a security guard about it and him agreeing something went down there? There are reported events that went down in several hotels that night not just Belligao.

Sorry, I no longer take the government at their word, I listen to everyone and try and figure out if the government is telling the truth and this event stinks from beginning to end. Do I know the truth...no, but I do not believe the official line in the least.

Yes, and even more so the bullets that pierced things like the fences, bleachers, stage, backdrops and trailers at the location.
