Las Vegas gunman shot at SWAT team through hotel room door
New York Post ^ | October 2, 2017 | Joe Tacopino

The Las Vegas shooter spent his last minutes desperately firing through the doorway of his hotel room while the SWAT team stormed into the suite.

Stephen Paddock shot one security guard and fired on a SWAT team of six who searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before zeroing in on their target.

“We believe the individual killed himself prior to our entry,” Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.

>> this guy was killed by the actual sniper.

Interesting theory that forensics can dis/prove.

The rounds can be connected to the gun, and the gun to the shooter. Situation requires “actual sniper” to be in same room, and yet escape (or somehow mingle with the SWAT team.)

According to some FReepers, this guy was killed by the actual sniper.

Left for authorities find while the actual sniper fled and is still on the loose.


Why do people spread crazy rumors? This is so obviously untrue.

OK, so the actual shooter killed all these people, dispatched the body found in the hotel room by SWAT, escaped, then ran around Nevada, planting guns, ammo and explosive materials in Mr. Bodies vehicles, as well as all of his properties.

It’s possible.

As I have said several time today...

Bad day for FR.

“Why all the guns and bomb stuff? Did he think he could start shooting and still have time to use all the ammo and explosives??”

This whole premeditated plan and fight to the death seems pretty ambitious for a sickly looking 64 year old to carry out alone...or at all for that matter.

When I first heard the news I thought of the Texas tower sniper in 1966’

Huge amount is still unknown. How did his girlfriend not notice the accumulation of the arsenal? What was her role? When they searched his home there were many more guns and ammo. Was there a motive beyond some form of lunacy and what was it?

That guy had stopped shooting a half an hour before SWAT made entry. There were two officers on his door ten minutes after the first shot but waited on SWAT.

Automatic weapons will do that to a person.

He had more than one home. Reportedly he had 4 or 5 houses plus a lot of property he rented out in California and Nevada, not sure if it the places he rented were commercial or apartment buildings or a mix.

Why is so much unknown, reminds me of San Bernadino only they have a better handle on it. Sad we can’t trust our government to get the truth out as soon as possible.

If you listen to the police scanner, they first determined it was floor 32 by being on floor 31 and hearing shots. Prior to that they knew it was this hotel and tower and general floor vicinity. Then they went to 32nd floor and saw the guard had been shot already. They knew his exact room in 15 to 20 minutes. Very brave men here.

“does anyone know what rifles he was using?”

I would not be surprised if that rifle sales go through the roof. Libtards don’t realize that these false-flag incidents only result in higher gun sales and higher firearm stock prices. They just don’t get it.

” then ran around Nevada, planting guns, ammo and explosive materials in Mr. Bodies vehicles, as well as all of his properties.”

There are 400 million guns in the US. Half of every home searched will yield a firearm. I bet millions of homes have more than “needed” firearms. Having firearms don’t mean shit. If this guy is framed, nobody will ever know. The official story is a disgruntled middle aged white terrorist It will remain so.

I don’t disbelieve you. I’d rather not believe you but am inclined to do so. Where did you get that info if I may?
