and the story keeps changing

An open door a few rooms away from the Las Vegas suite of the man who was gunning down concertgoers at a music festival set off an alarm that prompted a response from a security guard, Clark County Undersheriff Kevin C. McMahill said Friday.

Authorities believe that the guard drew the attention of mass murderer Stephen Paddock away from the chaos below and toward the hallway outside his room.

The guard, Jesus Campos, was shot in the leg while checking on the alarm and according to a police-reported timeline, Paddock never fired on the crowd below again.

The alarm from a room "a number of doors down" from Paddock's likely was a coincidence, McMahill told CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." The door was not forced open, had been open for a while, and Paddock didn't have the keys to that room. McMahill said that door either had been left open or didn't shut completely.

So some guy is shooting off rounds at 160 decibels on the floor and two LVPD police have been hanging on the floor below for at least 5 minutes and the first security guy to show up on Paddock's floor was responding the door alarm of set off by another guest on the floor leaving his door ajar?

That's comically, tragically, bizarre enough to have been what actually happened.

Paddock made $5 million in 2015 laundering money, er, gambling

Stephen Paddock, who killed at least 58 people and injured more than 500 when he opened fire on a crowd of festival attendees on the Las Vegas strip, earned at least $5 million in 2015, the report said. The report noted that most of that income came from gambling, although some could have come from other investments.

The shooting sounds at the end of this video sound as if they are coming from a different gun and direction.

Okay, here is a report from Ed Opperman who lives in Las Vegas. He tracked down a lot of these eye witnesses, and he says they don't pan out, that a lot of it was just panic, including the Bellagio incident.

Now the day he checked in has "officially" been moved back a few days.

Paddock reportedly rented out hotel rooms or condos overlooking other events in Chicago, Boston and Las Vegas before checking into the Mandalay Bay's hotel on Monday, September 25, six days before the shooting.

His Bucket List Included Enchiladas

The frugal life of twisted mass killer Stephen Paddock is beginning to emerge. DailyMailTV has learned that the multi-millionaire former accountant was so concerned about saving money that he often ate lunch at a retirees' center.

The 64-year-old joined the frail, elderly, homeless and disabled at the Mesquite Community and Senior Center in Nevada paying just $3.50 for a subsidized lunch. Around three times a week Paddock enjoyed Mexican food, meatloaf and hamburgers while listening to cheery songs on the piano at the center.

And bizarrely on the day Paddock drove 80 miles to Las Vegas where he checked in to the Mandalay Bay hotel to begin the preparations for his death mission, he popped into the government-run center to ask the cook for an enchiladas recipe.

...

Local resident Marshall Meland, 78, who was enjoying lunch at the center, told DailyMailTV: 'We recognized Stephen when his face flashed up on TV.

'He last came in to the center around 11am last Thursday and checked in at the desk, but didn't stop for lunch like he usually does.

'Instead he went straight up to the counter to speak with the cook and asked her about an enchiladas dish she cooks, he wanted to know how she made it.

'After that he left. No one took any notice of him, it wasn't until later after what he did that we realized he drove to Vegas that afternoon. Everyone at the center is shocked.'

Other diners at the senior center recall Paddock as an 'unsociable' and 'quiet' man who liked to sit alone to eat his lunch and who was 'in a world of his own'.

Retired construction worker David Blake, 81, who has been coming to the center for 13 years, described him as an 'introverted' man who had little time for anyone.

Mr Blake said: 'He'd come in on and off, sometimes up to three times a week.

'He's been coming in at least a year and when I first saw him I thought he was a homeless person, he was unshaven, disheveled, quiet, he wasn't a big conversationalist.

'He'd sit on his own, but even if there was someone else on his table he always seemed to himself, I never saw him getting into steady conversations with anyone, he didn't mingle, he was just quiet.

'He didn't draw attention to himself, didn't cause a disturbance.'

Paddock earned a degree in business administration from California State University, Northridge, in 1977, a school official said. He then spent a decade working for the federal government, first for the postal service, then an IRS agent for six years and, finally, as a defence auditor, according to the government’s Office of Personnel Management.

He married and divorced twice, remaining on good terms with both former wives, family members say, and left government work to become an accountant for a defence contractor.

...

When Paddock checked into the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino last week, he requested a room on a higher floor, but was told nothing was available. Then a room freed up and managers moved him to a 1,700sq ft suite on the 32nd floor. It lists for $590 a night. But as a big bettor, Paddock got it on the house.

Security appears to have paid little notice as he moved a series of bags containing 23 guns to the room. But they did respond to his complaints about loud music from a family staying in the room just below.

...

Investigators have chased 1,000 leads and examined Stephen Paddock’s politics, his finances, any possible radicalisation and his social behaviour — typical investigative avenues that have helped uncover the motive in past shootings.

“We have been down each and every one of these paths,” Mr McMahill said. “We all want answers.”

The FBI announced that billboards would go up around the city asking anyone with information to dial 800-CALL-FBI.

“If you know something, say something,” said Aaron Rouse, agent in charge of the Las Vegas FBI office. “We will not stop until we have the truth.”

Did you try looking at the hotel security footage, his phone logs, his car GPS, and his personal electronic devices?

"I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was gonna be for the crowd," Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Dave Newton told the newsmagazine. "So he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there."

OK. Why did they leave this Newtonian numerological analysis to Officer Dave Newton? How was K-9 handler Dave Newton able to decipher all of this just by looking at some numbers on a note.

It's almost amusing. Why can't we just see the damn note for ourselves? Why do we need to hear Dave Newton's shocking personal speculations on the note's meaning?
