so we have them on the hook for two confirmed lies now; this and the check-in date,

so they don't know the motive a week later, but are sure there is no tie to international terrorism, and KNEW THAT right after the shooting

yea, OK ;>

Apparently the clarification is that he was booked for the 25th, but didn't check-in until the 28th.

Not lies, but didn't have all the correct information. I believe the Sheriff is trying to give out as much correct information as he can.

wait, so he was registered for three days before he checked in?

the hotel didnt release the room after he didn't show after the first day?

was the room paid for for the duration?

FWIW, one theory is that the FBI is trying to leave LVMPD holding the bag as far as any clusterfucks on the ground.

re: the timeline, here is a link to the ...ahem...reestablished timeline
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/10/10/police-reveal-new-development-in-las-vegas-shooting-this-could-be-a-game-changer

in this timeline, the security guard doesn't even tell the cops where the shooter is unrtil after the shooting ceases..considering that the guard as shot, and was likely being given trauma aid, this is not all that surprising

From what I heard earlier, the room was free due to his high traffic in the casino.

I'm still wondering why the security took so long to react after knowing exactly where the shooter was, before the main shooting started.

"I'm shot on the 32nd floor in the wing." etc... It shouldn't take 10 minutes from there for more security to arrive.

makes sense

I'm still wondering why the security took so long to react after knowing exactly where the shooter was, before the main shooting started.

  • People either panic or tunnel vision; it is likely that hotel staff were focused on medical care for the guard; they might not have even been aware that a mass shooting was taking place for some time
  • 911 response was going to be slow; I expect that with so many calls coming in with conflicting info, LE suffered from information overload
  • I was under the impression that it was an FBI HRT that took out the shooter; that would have been an amazing react time; does bring up the question of why the FBI was dealing with a LVMPD SWAT situation.
  • I Don't expect that the other guards were eager to take on someone that put multiple shots down range already.
