There were people down in a relatively concentrated area. When I say wildly inaccurate, at that distance and angle, I can't help but imagine he'd send rounds literally a mile off target if he was using that modified gat crank.


There were some reports of finding people that had been hit well beyond the area of the concert, so you are probably correct.

As tragic as this is we should be thankful he didn't put more thought into being more accurate, or doing something even more deadly. The guy was a pilot and deranged, he could just as easily have filled up the fuel tanks on a Cessna and fly it right into the concert crowd killing probably hundreds.

You've completed your investigation?

Is that the official ruling? smh


Just shut up. You have no idea what happened.

Watch this Video from a room at MB, as the people filming / commenting were close to the shooter and had zero clue

Yeah let's not have investigation or nothing like that since everything adds up so perfect

Why do people decide preliminary statements mean they are going to dictate the nature of the conversation by belittling others who have questions of their own?


It's ridiculous.

Could the shooter see the stage, or would he have been looking at the back of the stage? It looked like he was facing the stage, so I am surprised he didn't shoot at the stage.
I think he was shooting over the stage from his perch.

And that's why I don't think he was all that inaccurate all things considered. I haven't heard anything about him peppering the back of this stage. And at least at first, it doesn't seem like he was spraying the very back of the crowd all that much. From 400 yards, with extremely rapid fire, he was hitting the front center of the crowd.

I feel like there would be bullets hitting hundreds of yards off target. Like, SEVERAL streets over and into buildings all over the place.

Ok maybe not buildings, but other areas.

There are two windows out in two different rooms. Fox News was saying paddock was utilizing both rooms but I wasn't clear if he shot from both rooms or not.


I was under the impression that it was a corner suite?

Then you know, for sure, what happened?

Yeh, I didn't think so.

At 400 yards, how far off would 3 inches of barrel movement send a bullet at that height and angle?

I'm pretty sure that's my whole point by making that supposition.

No one does.

What's the advantage to that crank over a normal bump fire, which I watched on YouTube and looked much simpler?
I'm not sure. Dude in the video got off 681 rounds per second with the crank. Maybe that's more than bump fire can deliver..?

I have been tied down at work and have not followed comprehensively. What is the scoop on the two cars they were looking for> One apparently had a lady in it that was arrested sometime this morning.

What is her involvement?

The security guard who made initial contact is a hero. At a minimum he distracted him long enough and probably forced him to end the massacre early…

That's filmed from the foundation room. The club at the top of Mandalay Bay. I was up there in June. That is crazy hearing the gun shots. Like watching a war movie.
