Vegas Massacre Timeline Changes Again

Authored by Carey Wedler via TheAntiMedia.org,

Earlier this week, police investigating the Las Vegas shooting made headlines when they changed the official timeline of events in the deadly massacre on October 1.

 

They had initially reported that gunman Stephen Paddock shot Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos after he fired into the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Campos was credited with stopping the attack. This week, the Los Angeles Times further summarized the original timeline:

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.

This summary came from a report released Monday of this week when the official story first changed. This week, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo announced Paddock had fired on Campos at 9:59 pm, a full six minutes before the attack began — not after he stopped shooting into the crowd. This created new questions as to why Paddock stopped firing on concertgoers considering it apparently was not a result of Campos diverting his attention.

Now, just days later, police have again changed their timeline, clarifying that Paddock did not actually shoot Campos six minutes before the rampage began.

The Chicago Tribune reports that amid claims from the MGM Hotel Group that contradict the second timeline offered Monday, authorities altered their sequence of events.

The Tribune noted that new questions surrounding the shooting have centered on the law enforcement response and the timeline, which had been changed multiple times and challenged by MGM Resorts International, the Mandalay Bay’s owner.

The outlet explained further:

Lombardo had said on Monday that Campos, the guard, was shot at 9:59 p.m. and that the mass shooting began at 10:05 p.m., lasting for 10 minutes. This six-minute gap relayed by Lombardo left uncertain whether there was any lag in alerting police to the source of the gunfire during critical moments. Police said they arrived on the 32nd floor at 10:17 p.m., after Paddock had stopped firing.

 

“MGM, though, said it was ‘confident’ that the 9:59 p.m. time was inaccurate and ‘was derived from a Mandalay Bay report manually created after the fact without the benefit of information we now have.’ The company also disputed the suggestion of a lag and said the mass shooting began within a minute of Campos being shot on the 32nd floor.

According to a statement from MGM:

We know that shots were being fired at the festival lot at the same time as, or within 40 seconds after, the time Jesus Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio.”

The Tribune summarized Lombardo’s most recent explanation:

Upon investigation, [Lombardo] said, police learned that Campos first encountered a barricaded door on the 32nd floor at 9:59 p.m., and that he was fired upon by Paddock ‘in close proximity to’ 10:05 p.m., when police say the mass shooting began.

 

“’He attempted to relay that information via his radio and it was confirmed because he also relayed that information via his cell phone,’ Lombardo said. ‘So the timeline associated to both of those sources have been verified.’

The sheriff did not specify when police were informed of the security guard’s report, saying on Friday that he was “absolutely offended” by allegations of incompetence within the department, and said that the shifting timeline was a result of the vast scope of the investigation and not an attempt to mislead anyone about the circumstances of the attack.

“This is a very dynamic event,” he said.

 

“A very big event. Thousands of people involved - humans involved - in documentation.”

Earlier in the week, Lombardo expressed frustration at questions over the changing timeline.

Nobody’s trying to be nefarious, nobody’s trying to hide anything, and what we want to do is draw the most accurate picture we can,

Daniel Oates, who served as police chief of Aurora, Colorado, when James Holmes opened fire on a movie theater in 2012, defended police’s changing story.

I see this as being ridiculously hard on the people who are trying to get information out, get the totality of that story,” he said. “This stuff takes time.”

 

The Tribune reported that experts “cautioned that it can take time for even basic information about what occurred during events like the one in Las Vegas to come together” (though, in that article, the outlet did not identify specific experts beyond Oates).

Either way, the jumbled timeline continues to draw questions and skepticism, exacerbated further by reports at the end of this week that Campos ‘disappeared’ shortly before he was scheduled to appear at a press conference on Thursday.

The report is circulating mostly in right-wing corners of the news media; it was reported by Fox News and has been re-reported by several other right-leaning outlets. The general story appears to have been confirmed by ABC journalist Stephanie Wash, who tweeted Thursday evening: “Media scrum tonight as we learn security officer shot in Vegas attack, Jesus Campos’ whereabouts are unknown.”

Jesus Campos was set to do 5 intvs tonight per union president, but they’ve lost contact. ‘We were in a room & we came out & he was gone,’” she also tweeted.

An independent journalist reported on Twitter that Campos’ family is under a gag order, however that remains unconfirmed.

Despite an influx of criticism and claims of cover-ups, Lombardo insists they are simply doing their best to relay information to the public and gather information and suggested the timeline could continue to change.

“There is no conspiracy between the FBI, between LVMPD and the MGM, he said this week.

 

Nobody is attempting to hide anything in reference to this investigation. The dynamics and the size of this investigation requires us to go through voluminous amounts of information in order to draw an accurate picture.

I’m sure the Police are just as understanding when regular people change their story again and again.

Give us some red meat.

Audio analysis of shot count.

Ballistic evidence.

In one article, it was said over 1000 pieces of evidence were retained - and- in the same Paddock fired 1000 rounds.

Huh?

There are 4 bills ready to eventually force Americans out of owning guns.
It's unbelievable, they use a government organized false flag. The bills have been in the works for a long time already.

https://youtu.be/2Ho4te5KB_U

They need to get those 4 bills passed before the economic collapse. Some of those bills have a 5 year window. But you can be assured in the next crisis they will come for our guns.

Ding ding ding we have a winner.

It doesn't matter what happened in LV. It is the end result that matters and the end result is to take guns from people.

Period.

""It doesn't matter what happened in LV""

Yep ;)

This 'story' has all but disappeared from the news in the rest of the world. We all understand the news cycle and that things move from page 1 to pages 3 and beyond, but given the supposed seriousness of the crime it's a odd that's it's no longer interesting.

I guess that in the USA there are also some ( this Sheriff in particular ) that would like this to disappear, he looks less than happy with his job. ;)

Whatever.

Sounds like my neighbor.  Drives around with AK and AR and boxes of ammo in his truck.  Was always the goto guy for 4th of July and New Year's fireworks.  Pissed off his Dad by blowing holes on farm property that would fuck up the tractor.  Crazy guy, but the law doesn't care...until the law cares...70 minutes later.

 Paddock had 17 assault rifles in his hotel rooms.  Yet, so far, there is not one report in the news of any witnesses who claim they saw Paddock at a gun range or anywhere else practicing firing his newly acquired weapons.  Paddock, like Barry Seal, was an asset of the CIA.  I would not be surprised to read that Paddock was also a narcotics transporter for the CIA, with the pay for being a drug trafficker financing Paddock's degenerate gambling habit.  

 

Whoa Dammit's picture

Take a look at the photo of the gloves Paddock was wearing. They look like those thick cloth gloves that cost about $1 at the hardware store and are typically used when pushing a wheel barrow or digging a hole with a shovel. I don;t know how anyone could shoot a gun with them on. I have been told that shooting gloves usually have open fingers. Thoughts from the gun savvy ZHers?

When will the sheriff and fbi start to blame Putin?

What do you want them to do blame the See Eye Aye?

It's almost as if they are poking the effinbeeeye right in the eye everytime they unleash one of their little gems.

17 assualt rifles?  LOL!  I know that is what they are pushing but who would lug in 17 rifles.

200 security guards in the hotel.  Cameras everywhere, cops near the strip everywhere.

If this was real, a shooter would know that in less then 10 minutes you would be dead or they would be blowing the door down.  In 10 minutes you would maybe shoot three riles wearing your gardening gloves.  This is so fake and so stupid.

Yet this kabuki theater went on for 72 minutes.  Were the cops in teh lobby playi the slots?  LOL!  What a joke.

Mr. Universe's picture

No, they were busy making sure the concert exits to Las Vegas Ave. were blocked off.

Also the cops that first entered the room, in the 60 minutes interview, said there were multple drills, lots of tools, and multiple laptops in the room.  What would any of that have been for?

Funny how the videos with people laying on the ground by the statge at the concert where they said he was shooting blanks were removed right after the shooting.  I saw the videos.  People were scared and one of the guys on the ground said "he is shiooting blanks."

Blanks put out a shitload of muzzle flash. These were real live bullets.

I don't know about you guys, but when I shoot an AR, and a stray casing lands on me...it's " ouch..goddamn it, that's hot! ".

And he allegedly let loose multiple magazines? How did they not melt into the carpet? I could be wrong..I've never shot from my living room...or a hotel room for that matter.

And Occidental's comment about " the police reaction when YOU change your story multiple times " ....is fucking priceless.

BeerMe's picture

The carpet probably wouldn't melt or burn because of the fire retardent they spray on them.  But you would think you would have a picture of a pile of rounds somewhere.

Dear Criminal Deep State & CONgress,

Rest assured, any attempt at confiscation or outlawing of firearms will result in The American People going Paddoack on your Pure Evil War Criminal Treasonous Seditious Psychopathic asses for real. There won’t be any False Flag about it.

Conscious Reviver's picture

Why say "going Paddock"? More and more it looks like Paddock is the patsy. He's either dead for real or on the island, enjoying a cold one with Ken Lay.

I read reports Jesus Campos is an undocumented alien. Why would Mandalay Bay hire an undocumented alien to work security??

They were funny,these guys are beyond a joke.

You'd think their timeline would be based on evidence. 

"We lied before but you can believe us now."

Or, maybe the earlier timeline made someone look really bad?

And what of the eye witness to multiple shooters who was found dead of "natural causes" at her home 5 days after posting her story to face book.  She just up and died.  I mean what a coincidence.  wow...  We all feel for her family.  Such a tragedy.  Maybe we can kneel at NFL games in honor.

Using thermal imaging, the YouTube video below shows how hot an AR-15 upper receiver gets when it is continuously fired in automatic mode.

No unedited videos will be released.

Let's see, multiple vacant homes with big safes (Safe houses). Multiple Aircraft for transporting. History of gambling large amounts of money at casinos (Laundering proceeds). Dozens of high price semiautomatic rifles(Product). Whether he lost it and did it himself or his clients did it and topped him. The delay going in to his room is inexcusable was likely ordered. Which organization has a history of royally screwing up firearm operations, please come to the podium Nevada ATF.

 

The whole federal government should be neutered.

Indeed. The media reports drown the fish with the notion this guy was a successful gambler...at video poker. Laundering.

Now deceased Kymberley Suchomel stated there were multiple shooters in her last Facebook post, not to mention a Hispanic woman who taunted them from a "dark," possibly black, SUV after the shooting, the same description that Breanna Hendricks gave of the person who warned the concerts goers that "You are all going to die, tonight"

Here is acoustic ballistic analysis that proves the point:

Clearly, Lauren Southern has found proof that Stephen Paddock or his patsy or whomever they say is he is black ops Deep State, probably a money laundering gun runner:

Neon Nettle's report ties some of it together with a "John" from the 4chan 9-1-17 presaging warning, to the Black SUVs, to the CIA/FBI gun running, but there are some obvious discontinuities in this report, such that much of it might need to be dismissed:

I think there is enough evidence to state this is a false flag event and not a hoax.  Possibly though, Stephen Paddock was just an anti-Trumper, just like Geary Danley, as evidenced on his Facebook page, as evidenced by some relation to Marilou Danley in the LAX airport 4 days prior to the shootings, and his attendance at an Reno, NV anti-Trump rally in August:

 Its all about the questions. The theorizing not so much. Its a formal logic thing. We dont need to prove anything other than the official story is bunk. If we allow them to put the burdon of proof on us they can and will pick us to pieces. If we on the other hand simply keep asking the good questions. They must prove up their BS with facts they dont have. Then we pick their BS apart.

 Its a change in our game thats winning hearts and minds over. This game favors the honest folks.

Never in my life have I seen a bigger debacle/cover up then this LAS VEGAS massacre.. I think the people should just go to the nearest FBI office and open fire in till everyone even bacteria is deceased...  TRUMP loves twitting and he is in a very interesting time with PEDOGATE/HOLLYWOOD and LAS VEGAS BLOW THESE STORIES UP FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a shitty excuse. They release timeline details before the bodies are cold, then whine later about how it takes time to get the details right?

We're not talking about thousands of people here. We're talking about one man and where he was at 9:59pm. I can only imagine how many goons locked down the MGM staff who have seen the footage, know Jesus' story, and have all of Paddock's booking and room details.

Sucks to be them right now.

I can't wait for the part where Campos commits suicide or is shot by a loner...he knows something.
