10:15 - 10:18 p.m.: Paddock shoots a hotel security guard. (There were no more shots after this)
11:20 p.m.: SWAT teams break into Paddock's room and find him dead.


After he was distracted by the security guard and fires a few rounds at him. He was afraid SWAT would be right behind him and he decided to eat a bullet.

See this GRAPHIC pic of a very dead Paddock


Wow. They show everything these days. Was that a leaked photo?


Yep, I think they should run it all over the media as his picture.

This is reported to happen "as police broke into the room".

So, apparently, after the shooting, he still was in the room for about an hour doing something, maybe watching Seinfeld and eating dinner, before police got to him.

Also, he had cameras in the hallway, so he would know SWAT was not there.

Yes, it said right in one of the articles I linked, that the sheriff said they were looking-into who leaked them (SH90 linked other photos of the killer's room, as well, several pages, back - and I must say that that is one of the TACKIEST rooms [decor-wise], I've ever seen in my LIFE!! That, and $26 dollars for hamburger [or, whatever it was], has made me make a mental note, to NEVER stay at the Mandalay Bay!!).

There seems to be enough of a resemblance (to ME, anyway):

It's actually a nice place to stay and that hamburger is really good.

I don't think this is correct, either----it says right in the timeline, above: "10:15 P.M. Last shots from Paddock are fired, according to body worn camera footage.". Did you not see the timeline----or, are you refusing to accept it? I don't get it.....

Well, considering I can get 3 POUNDS of hamburger (I don't care if it said "Angus"-whatever on the receipt; plain ol' hamburger's good-enough for ME), for 10 bucks----I'm thinkin' I should be able to get nearly an ENTIRE hindquarter, for 26!! LOL

...I haven'r seen any other place listed, only this one, Lollapalooza in Chicago.
But, anyway, if he had pulled of the same massacre there - Would the people who were claiming that he was pulling off an attack on right-leaning people in attacking a country show say he was pulling off an attack on left-leaning people in going after an " alternative/modern rock " show? Hm? :wink:

Still hot, no news article yet. Will update as I hear anything... Maybe 20 dead so far.

EDIT:

Oh yes. Another great American shoot em up. I'm always living in fear of yet another mass shooting making us look like savages to the rest of the world. Republicans think that this guys arsenal is a protected right, but medical treatment for the 500+ wounded is a commodity that you should have to pay for.

Anyway, where did this guy even get this many guns? All military grade, some custom made at great expense, and he had no violent history and or strongly held political/religious views? Something don't add up.

The hotels that overlook Millenium Park where they hold Lollapalooza are to far off the ground and to far form the event to make good locations to shoot it up from your hotel room. At least with an assault rifle.

Edit: OK I posted what I did before I looked at the map of the Vegas shooting. I don't know much about guns, but based on that info (where he was and what he could do from that vantage) he could have turned Lollapalooza hamburger from some of the hotels that overlook the park.

The first thing I thought-of, was, because it was a country music concert, that it was somebody going-after those whom he thought would be Republicans. Then, I couldn't decide his girlfriend's ethnicity----I had, at first, thought she might be black----and, going-by the pics that SH90 posted, thought the shooter might have been black, and going-after white people. Then, looking more closely at the girlfriend, I'm thinking she might be Mexican----and, I just heard the shooter was from Texas (at least, at one point, he lived there, they said); so, who knows.....

I'm listening to NBC's coverage----I can't WAIT (as I'm sure others, can't) to hear what his motivation, was; hopefully, he posted on Facebook, or something.....


The shooter was an old white guy. Perhaps the US military should nuke some places full of old white guys. That sort of reasoning seemed to work with Iraq...

Vegas Shooter’s Girlfriend Says He Would Lie in Bed Moaning, Screaming

Quote:
WASHINGTON — Marilou Danley, the woman investigators hoped would provide key details into the motive behind her boyfriend's deadly shooting attack, said she remembers him exhibiting symptoms such as lying in bed and moaning, according to two former FBI officials who have been briefed on the matter.

"She said he would lie in bed, just moaning and screaming, 'Oh, my God,'" one of the former officials said.

The other former official said Danley spoke about Paddock displaying "mental health symptoms."

Investigators believe Stephen Paddock, who claimed nearly 60 lives and injured hundreds more in Las Vegas on Sunday, may have been in physical or mental anguish, the sources said.

But so far the FBI has not identified a clear motive, said two FBI officials. And they do not believe Paddock's mental health had deteriorated to a point that would have triggered him to commit such an act.

Other lines of inquiry the FBI and Las Vegas police are investigating include what Paddock did in the hour between shooting a security guard and his room being breached by officers. Paddock was found dead after a SWAT team breached his door, but it is unclear when he took his own life.

Investigators are also examining approximately six media devices left behind by Paddock, one of the former officials said. Included in that search is an inquiry into Paddock's web browsing history. Multiple law enforcement officials told NBC News that Paddock researched other attack locations in Boston and Chicago.

Danley's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock called in two noise complaints about loud country music coming from the hotel room below - the night before his rampage

Quote:
On Saturday night Paddock called in two noise complaints about loud country music being played in the room below him.

Albert Garzon, visiting from San Diego, and his wife and friends, was staying in 31-135, directly beneath Paddock, when he got a complaint at 1.30am.

A security guard told him that the guest in the room above had complained about the loud noise.

Garzon turned the music down, but another member of staff returned half an hour later, saying the guest had complained again.

Less than 24 hours later, Paddock opened fire from his hotel room, killing 58 and injuring more than 500,

Garzon said he didn't realize the complaining guest had been Paddock until he saw the drapes flapping out of his smashed out windows.
