That's where I'm at too. This is one of the most "watched" areas in the United States more specifically the world. So many CCTV's in Vegas and advanced surveillance systems.

Agreed. I think the sheriff is a little premature in bawking at the idea that he carried all the guns and ammo up by himself. He was there for days. 23 guns isn’t as much as it sounds like. Maybe 10 trips over the days prior?

Not until after she started talking about people getting headshot.

The post claims they cut her off because she started talking about multiplr shooters.

believe they started two floors below him. Pretty sure they knew the room pretty quick.




Sheriff said tonight that someone with military training was in the room directly below Paddock. That guy called in (not sure where he called) and said the shooting was happening directly above him, and that's when the police team ran into the security guard. From what I can understand, that group held off and waited for a SWAT team to arrive before breaching the door.

The fact of the matter is what ever LE knows they aren't telling us. The reason for that leads me to believe they think there will be other arrest pertaining to this shooting. No idea what they charge them with but they definitely think he had help or at least someone turned a blind eye to his activities

Saw them play that clip from her lawyer. Not sure I buy the “I knew nothing” card. From what was said, he had been amassing 33 guns since 10/2016. She lived with him at multiple homes.

did I hear right that he used 10 suitcases to carry the guns up? He could have carried up two at a time separated buy a couple hours and no one would have noticed. I've only been to Vegas once, stayed at the Venetian, and me and three other people had five suitcases and carried them all up at once.

Paddock sent his girlfriend to the Philippines on his dime. Wired her money for her to buy a house. GF thought he was breaking up with her.



frick, this motherfricker (Paddock) planned this shite for a long time.

Correct. This is why I believe they started two floors below, but yet sounded like there were officers on the floor ( stairwell ) immediately but that was pretty much when he stopped firing so they were told to hold off due to possible barricade.

I'm at work and a bell cart just rolled by with 11 full sized suitcases. 1 bell cart. It would take 1 trip and. $20 tip to get those upstairs.

Wasn't this guy a big baller at the casinos or something like that?

If so, no hotel/casino is going to bat an eye at a guy dropping thousands in the casino.

That's what I don't understand about people questioning how he got those guns up there. The dude booked 2 rooms. What hotel is going to question a guy who drops that kind of money?

I didn’t catch the number of suitcases, but Vegas is always hopping, and even if the same employee saw Paddock bringing up suitcases multiple times a day, it wouldn’t set off any alarms. If he was as careful as he was with the other aspects of this, I’m sure he went at weird times and/or used multiple entrances.

The way Vegas is setup, there’s tons of ingress points for each hotel.

They won't. Getting the guns up to the room is no more difficult than getting my wife's shite up to the room.

I doubt Paddock ever planned on getting away. just couldn't have. not from the 32nd floor of an incredibly crowded hotel.


I bet they found a parachute.

I am not even sure that killing, or maiming, as many as possible was his goal.
