Gunman Stephen Paddock fired more than 1,100 rounds the night of the Las Vegas shooting, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday. The new total includes about 200 rounds fired from Paddock’s Mandalay Bay corner suite and into the hallway of the 32nd floor late Oct. 1, injuring hotel security guard Jesus Campos... Investigators have not determined why Paddock stopped shooting. Lombardo said they found about 4,000 more rounds of unused ammunition in the gunman’s suite. The sheriff also mentioned that “multiple weapons” had jammed

I don’t buy that it was one shooter, in fact I don’t buy the official story at all. Like half a dozen of the survivors have died in mysterious circumstances. It’s all weird, and the Jesus guy.

Part of a Saudi succession struggle plaid out in Vegas:

The assassins stung the would-be stingers and the dead guy was NOT the gunman.

The authorities will NEVER fess up cuz it would look as if they supplied the massacre weapons.

WHICH THEY DID.

I’m thinkin’ if you’ve missed your target after the 100th round, you should probably hang it up and call it a day!

“The sheriff also mentioned that “multiple weapons” had jammed.”

Not sure I’m buying that for a minute. My brand new Rock River AR ran over 500 rounds flawlessly the first time out. I think I remember one failure to fire and it was a bad round.

I heated that thing up pretty good on a friends farm. It’s difficult to believe that multiple rifles jammed up like that.

Why have we then not seen pics of eleven hundred spent brass cartridges, and powder burns, scattered about the floor in the Mandalay Bay suite occupied by Paddock's dead body? What did he do, dump them all out the broken window?

I’ve already written this one off.

“Wing-nut Goes Berserk”, works for me.

Can anyone give me a good reason why the government or some other entity would perpetrate an act like this by design, other than the guy that did?

There’s no gun control resulting from it. What would the goal have been, if not that?

Tens of thousands of people at the event. In any body of tens of thousands of people, some of the people are dying off all the time.

This gets tiresome after a while folks.

Because AR pattern rifles eject forward and to the right. Standing near the window, the brass went out and landed on the low roof at ground floor level.

Yeah, but who was escorted out of the Tropicana.

MbS?

Was this an assignation attempt gone wrong?

Exactly.
Who?
Is that WHO in the body count.... or did the target(s) escape?
There is always more to the story..... which of course (- thank Allah -) we are not being told.

Makes me think of the border guard stoned to death. Cartels/ drug runners use guns. Palestinians/ muslims use rocks.

I'm leaning towards a screwed up gun sale sting and the shooting took place after they guy was dead. Given the lack of information that normally would have been released - especially since they declared it is a single shooter - then something else makes more sense that the "he did it" option.

One - his car with the tanerite was parked on the opposite side of the hotel.

Two - he was using the noise from the concert to drill.

Three - getting caught drilling by the security guard startled him and that’s what cause him to start shooting.

Four - the shooting didn’t start until the last song at the concert.

A few more minutes and the crowd would have been leaving. He wasn’t ready for whatever he’d planned.

Yeah...our DOJ is great shape, isn’t it folks?

2 months later and we have no answers to what happened. It’s almost like the FBI is covering up something... /s

Lots of people originally said that the shooter could not have used “bump stocks” because “bump stocks” jammed so much.

This would validate their experience with “bump stocks”.

It also is a another reason to forget about banning “bump stocks”. It is better for would be mass murderers to use something that jams a lot!

1100 rounds would be at least 11 100 round magazines, or 19 60 round magazines. There were a lot of magazines in that room.

Scroll down to post 11. It’s too big for me to drag and drop. It’s a run down on the the Las Vegas shooting.
