olice have dramatically changed their account of how the Las Vegas massacre began on Oct. 1, revealing Monday that the gunman shot a hotel security guard six minutes before opening fire on a country music concert — raising new questions about why police weren’t able to pinpoint the gunman’s location sooner.
Officials had previously said that gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nev., shot Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos after Paddock had unleashed his deadly volley at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, an assault that began at 10:05 p.m. and left 58 people dead, with hundreds more injured.
They had credited Campos, who was shot in the leg, with stopping the 10-minute assault on the concert crowd by turning the gunman’s attention to the hotel hallway, where Campos was checking an alert for an open door in another guest’s room.
But Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Monday that Paddock shot Campos before his mass shooting — at 9:59 p.m. — and they now didn’t know why Paddock stopped his attack on the crowd.
Paddock, who had placed security cameras outside his room, shot Campos through the door of his suite, which was outfitted with a camera to survey the hallway, as was a room service cart parked outside. Police said Paddock fired 200 rounds into the hallway.
Investigators previously said that the security guard was shot after Paddock had already spent 10 minutes firing into the crowd of concertgoers gathered below the hotel.
I'm a bit surprised he hasn't been formally charged.
I would definitely take that as a consolation prize. Let the dust settle a bit from this and let's see what happens. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of it though.
Imagine the look on his bitch ass smug face when the cop said he had no idea who he was.
What a fucking moron that guy has become. If hes carrying a CHL where is his weapon? And lmfao at trying to take the cops rifle, hes lucky he didn't get shot in the face!
I just read an article that said he purchased 20-30 firearms, most of which were rifles between August and October of last year. They did not know why. Are they fucking retarded? The election was coming up and he was a gambler!
because he was mad that Trump won and he wanted to change the sentiment about firearms and the republicans
