LAS VEGAS—The gunman who murdered at least 59 people at a country-music concert on Sunday might have originally targeted another Las Vegas music festival held the previous weekend, according to a senior law enforcement source.

Stephen Paddock rented multiple condos overlooking the annual Life Is Beautiful Festival, which this year was headlined by Lorde and Chance the Rapper, said the source, who is not directly involved in the investigation but has been briefed on its progress.


quote:

The source suggested that Paddock may have lost his nerve or simply changed his plans and checked into the Mandalay Bay Hotel on September 28. He then took a suite overlooking the Route 91 Harvest Festival and opened fire on an estimated 20,000 concertgoers below. Law enforcement recovered 23 weapons from the suite, including several rifles capable of automatic fire. Paddock concealed the arsenal in 10 suitcases, Joseph Lombardo, the sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters.

Well there ya have it. We've found the Holy Grail to preventing these events ever happening again!

Enact common sense music festival controls!

I wonder what the narrative would've been from the left if that had gone down?

If true, which I’m sure it isn’t, it would only prove gun laws do not work.

Had he shot up a rap concert that lawyer from CBS would have been very sad. Probably would have cried hysterically.

Luckily for her it was a country music concert so she was able to laugh and post vile things about 59 innocent people getting murdered. Can't imagine how relieved she will be to hear that a bunch of truly innocent people dodged a bullet(s).

We should see what other hotels he checked into the past several years and what festivals were in the time range. Maybe he lost his nerve on all those too and Aldean was the one that made him get it back.

I mean, I would have at least suspected a possible racial motive. I can't imagine anyone who is honest with themselves saying otherwise.

We just had an updated 30 minute briefing by the Sheriff and nothing even close to this was mentioned.

It's amazing how badly some of you want certain things to be true so that you can claim victim status
