Uh-oh...Change in Las Vegas Story

The Las Vegas gunman opened fire on a security guard six minutes before he rained down bullets on a crowd and killed 58 people, officials said on Monday in a change to the timeline of the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

Previously the sheriff had said the guard’s arrival in the hallway may have caused Paddock to stop firing.

Six minutes? Kind of puts a different light on Dolt 45's praise of the speedy response being such a "miracle".

Police have dramatically changed their account of how the Las Vegas massacre began on Oct. 1, revealing Monday that the gunman shot a hotel security guard six minutes before opening fire on a country music concert — raising new questions about why police weren’t able to pinpoint the gunman’s location sooner.

They had credited Campos, who was shot in the leg, with stopping the 10-minute assault on the concert crowd by turning the gunman’s attention to the hotel hallway, where Campos was checking an alert for an open door in another guest’s room.

But Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Monday that Paddock shot Campos before his mass shooting — at 9:59 p.m. — and they now didn’t know why Paddock stopped his attack on the crowd.

[...]

In a timeline released last week, investigators said Paddock had stopped firing at the concert across the street at 10:15 p.m., and the first police officers arrived on the floor at 10:17 p.m. and encountered the wounded Campos at 10:18 p.m., who directed the officers to Paddock’s suite.

Yes, and the very first report I read said the police had killed Paddock, but everything after that said he killed himself. You can't trust anything the police say.

Police said Paddock fired 200 rounds into the hallway.

Two hundred rounds into the hallway and then had six minutes to start firing on the crowd for at least ten minutes.

Police officers who started searching the hotel after the shooting began didn’t know a hotel security guard had been shot “until they met him in the hallway after exiting the elevator,” Lombardo said. He didn’t say whether Campos notified casino security after he was shot.

He was shot in the leg. Two hundred rounds were fired into the hallway. He didn't notify casino security? What was he doing for six minutes?

After Campos was shot, a maintenance worker appeared on the 32nd floor and “Campos prevented him from receiving any injuries,” Lombardo said.

When did that happen? Why didn't that worker notify anyone? Or did he? I bet there's some serious huddling at Mandalay Bay and the Las Vegas PD.

Lombardo also revised the date on which police believe Paddock checked into Mandalay Bay. While initially they said he had checked in on Sept. 28, three days before the shooting, they now believe he checked in on Sept. 25.

Another lesson in waiting several days, at least, before circulating information on a crime.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  He did call in the shooting.  And so did the maintenance worker.

UPDATE:  It looks like the hallway shooting did not take place before the crowd shooting.
