The Latest on Las Vegas Mass Shooting [big change in story re security guard]

Security guard shot before concert shooting began

On Monday, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo announced a change to the sequence of events that occurred on Oct. 1, saying a security guard who encountered Paddock was actually shot at 9:59 p.m. local time, minutes before the 64-year-old unleashed a hail of gunfire on unsuspecting concertgoers.

Previously, authorities had said that the security guard, Jesus Campos, was shot after Paddock had opened fire on the crowd below.

Lombardo said Campos immediately reported to hotel security that he had been shot. However, responding officers did not know Campos had been shot until they arrived on the 32nd floor and encountered him, Lombardo said.

It's unclear what ultimately led Paddock to stop shooting at the people below. Officials had originally thought that Campos distracted him.

Previously they told us that the security guard investigating a door alarm by himself caused the mass shooting to stop around 10:16 when he proceeded down the corridor toward the shooter's room, the shooter saw him with his camera and shot at the security guard in a 200-round burst through the door, hitting him in the leg. The elevator doors opened a minute later and police were on the scene, encountered the wounded security guard who directed cops to the shooter. The security guard was not so hurt that he could not help evacuate people from bystander rooms until police insisted he seek medical attention.

Now, more than a week later, the story completely changes. Now, the security guard was shot 17 minutes or so earlier than they said before.

Why no televised interview with the security guard, more than a week has passed?

This does change the timeline bunches.

As to why no interview, maybe he doesn’t want the spotlight. Not everybody is a fame seeker.

Or, for now the police has asked him not to talk to the media due to the investigation still being active.

Could be a lot of reasons, most of which have no nefarious roots.

Oh, thanks gaijin, I had meant to mention - that picture you posted that’s been circulating in the media is not even him!!

It’s a Jesus Campos from Venezuela who works at an airline.

You can see the same photo on his twitter page:

Could they suspect him of being an accomplice?

200 round burst? Where are they getting that? Pretty much only a belt fed can pull off a 200 round burst. 20 maybe?

Where are the tapes? The tapes should show people getting on and off the elevators, the hallways, even door entry. They should know everyone that entered that room for the past weeks.

The recordings from all the security cameras are in the police’s hands and by now they probably do know. They are also evidence that they have no obligation to release while the investigation is still active.

"Could they suspect him of being an accomplice?"

Remember Brianna Hendricks who witnessed the Hispanic woman yell "you're all gonna die tonight" 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOOTING and Hendricks stated she was with a Hispanic male, both very short..

Hmmmm, HOW TALL IS CAMPOS? This thing might bust wide open now, and remember that Paddock has black slacks on like a security guard might have. Perhaps Campos assisted in the shooting then shot Paddock dead to make him the sole suspect.
