This would explain a lot.
A drone with a remotely-controlled rifle would have been the perfect tool to end a situation of a sniper leaning out a hotel room window shooting people.
The drone could quietly fly up close to the shooter, give a clear camera view of exactly where he is and shoot from relatively close range, not endangering people in other rooms.
It would answer some of the mysteries around this case:
1. How did police know the shooter had stopped firing? They took their time rushing their room, saying they were confident there was no longer an active shooter situation. How did they know Paddock was not just reloading or otherwise getting ready to dump another massive barrage of bullets on people below?
If they knew the shooter had been shot by their drone, that would explain the lack of urgency. Also, the drone could see close up through the windows and give a preview to the police doing the SWAT breaching what is in there, to the extent not blocked by the curtains.
2. At the end of the shooting, why the TWO single shots ten seconds apart? Did Paddock shoot himself once, and then, just to make sure he was good and dead, shot himself again ten seconds later?
If a drone took the two shots, that would make sense. Perhaps they took one shot, Paddock fell, and then the drone maneuvered some and took another shot ten seconds later.
3. Why did the girl at the bus stop say "there's glass falling from Mandalay Bay" four seconds after the first of the two shots? See at 3:25 and 3:29.

Perhaps the first drone shot passed through a part of the window that still had glass or, more likely, Paddock was shot by the drone, fell partly onto the window knocking more glass out which fell to the ground, and staggered back into the room, and the drone re-positioned itself for ten seconds to take another shot at him?
4. Why did Paddock end the shooting when he had so much ammunition left?
Obviously, if police or a federal agency had used a test drone equipped with a firearm that was illegal to deploy, they would be praising themselves as they are doing for ending it so quickly, but nevertheless be murky on the details as they are doing.

If police had a lethal drone they had in development and testing, I wouldn't blame them for illegally deploying it here to save many lives.
Even if they flew one in the window with a flash-bang, he would have been in no condition to keep firing.
Now if they used a real grenade.....

Seriously. If there was a drone of any kind involved in taking this guy down the cops would have been congratulating themselves publicly from the very first day.
I don’t want the police to have lethal drones.
Absolutely not.

Here’s footage of a Las Vegas police drone from 3 1/2 years ago:

If police had time to get their SWAT gear on scene, explosives, bullet shields, etc., wouldn’t they have had time to get an ordinary camera drone up and flying?
Yet we have heard nothing from LVMPD as to whether they had a drone up and taking a look at the windows where the shooting occurred.
But, but, but,,,,, Der "authorities" tell us he was firing from within the room. Been pointed out that the number of shell casings visible in the room vs. the claimed volume of fire does not compute with "leaning out a hotel room window".
A retired cop sent me the photo of Paddock lying on the hotel room dead, he got it from a retired LV homocide detective and no I am not going to send it to anyone else. I’m no forensic expert but from the photo he either swallowed a gun or someone shot him right in the pie-hole.
Occam’s razor says he blew his brains out.

And just what sized stone are you anticipating?
Geezers you folks have gone so nuts I you are beginning to make Jones look sane
Bill Whitaker: Did you go to the window? Did you look out?
Joshua Bitsko: No. Because I know that S.W.A.T. had deployed snipers also. So I didn't wanna put my silhouette in front of a window-- because communication was still horrendous at that point.
No, but the California fires could have been set by drones with directed energy weapons.
didn;t they use a drone to kill that copkiller in Dallas last year?
