I don’t know the first thing about guns so I can’t really distinguish the different sounds. I can’t think of a reason the cops would want to lie about how many shooters there were.
I am very curious about the alleged helicopters though.
What I don’t understand is how you can have a second shooter with all those cameras everywhere. A Vegas strip casino hotel is one of the most heavily surveilled places on the planet. The have more cameras per sq ft than the NSA or the Pentagon.
The last time I was there, every guest hallway and elevator had an HD camera. I’m not sure about the stairwells but they probably have them too. And even if not, the HD camera aimed down the 32nd floor hallway would have spotted anyone exiting the suite for the stairwell. A second camera would have spotted the perp leaving the stairwell on another floor. Ditto the service elevator. (The parking lots have them too.)
Those cameras write to forensically secure HDDs with timecodes for use in defending lawsuits (like the one Paddock tried when he fell in 2014) and in prosecuting cheaters/thefts. They keep that footage for a long time,
So unless the second shooter somehow rappelled down the side of the building like Tom Cruise, there is just no way there can be a second shooter inside that suite (yes, it was a double suite, but both doors would have been visible looking down the hallway).
This is like a Sherlock Holmes locked-room mystery, but with 21st century cameras instead of locks.
The key to that question is the FBI guy Aaron C Rouse always looking creepy at the Sheriff. He was the section chief in the counterintelligence division of the FBI HQ. Which his job was prevents foreign intelligence agencies from successfully gathering and collecting intelligence.
In other words this attack was a foreign intelligence organized attack on us.
I personally think it was the Saudi's. They own a large part of that hotel. Which would give them special access.
