I call bs, SWAT killed him.
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.
I had heard on the news that knew which room he was in because the smoke detector alarm went off and guest were calling about the sounds of gunfire. I can’t imagine they had to search floor to floor just to find him. Maybe to secure the perimeter, but he couldn’t have been that hard to locate, especially if the windows were gone.
does anyone know what rifles he was using?
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?? I think he had help from inside hotel to get that much stuff in.
That contradicts what police reportedly said according to the following.

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?
My guess is that it could not have actually taken too long for his location to be known. It is likely that the hotel knew pretty quickly which room he was shooting from. Also, someone familiar with the hotel, or someone with binoculars could have described which side he was firing from, and how many floors up from the street he was. I think that the long passage of time would be for the SWAT team to assemble, suit up and gear up, form a plan, and approach the room. All that being said, I am still wondering why the shooter wasn’t engaged sooner, if nothing else than to take people out of the line of fire. It seems that a rifleman with a scope could have pinned him down.
That is different than some other stories going around.
How did he have a CAMERA posted outside the room???? BS is a DEEP!
