Seriously, what actually ended the shooting now under this new timeline? The shooter accidentally offed himself?

Actually that is what Thomas Wictor on Twitter has been positing since late last week.

Paddock tripped in a panic and killed himself.

That may explain why one of the rifles was on top of his leg.

He went up to investigate an open stairway door and I believe he heard drilling and went over to check.

Who is “they” exactly? There’s a lot of confusion because “they” could be direct police reports or “they” could be rival media overeagerly reporting on leaks, or “they” could be bloggers reporting crap just because they ant clicks.

It would be better if people assembled timelines according to sources. The NY Times timeline... the police timeline... the AP timeline, etc...

When was the cops/SWAT notified? 20 minutes later?

As for me, I certainly BACK THE BLUE

I think the Casino/Hotel should pay all medical expenses for those injured in the shooting as well as funeral costs.

This thing is unraveling on the police very badly. Let’s interview Campos NOW!! If I am not mistaken, he knew the exact room of the shooter. Why was there a 72 minute delay in getting there? during which time 58 were murdered and 500 more wounded? Where were the police and sheriff’s department for an hour and 10 minutes. This is not adding up.

We don’t know why the story changed.

We’re breathlessly waiting for each new sound-byte.

Did the police get it wrong. Did the guard change his story? Did some idiot up front make a false statement unwittingly.

We just don’t know. But off we go now certain that this just doesn’t make sense.

Folks, take a freakin chill pill.

In a few weeks we’ll have a much better idea of how thing actually transpired.

It sure is taking the FBI a long time to make up what actually happened....

200 rounds were fired at security guard BEFORE the gunman opened fire on concert.

The hotel/casino may be playing the CYA game.

I think the Casino/Hotel should be sued for medical expenses plus funeral costs plus pain and suffering.

How about a $1 billion settlement?

This is a huge minor detail and the biggest issue is why did it take a week to say it(in passing).

Blows my theory all to hell, I’ll just have to make up a new one.

I call BS ! more likely that the “security guard”is a weapons broker aka Jesus and got in a shootout at close range with Paddock then shot up the crowd as payback for some kind of arms deal gone bad, this whole thing stinks like Benghazi

BATF suspected Campos as an accomplice

Scattered reports of guards chasing a guy in a “Security” jacket right after the shooting

Reports of a male leaving the shooter’s room riiight before the shooting started

Mystery charger to phone apparently sold only to 3-letter agencies, SF (CEO of that phone company suicides right after FBI questioning)

Hmmm....

Or he had to obfuscate what was going on. If his cover was blown, he was a dead man. Why not make it look like a crazy man.
