CNN just reported 1 hour and 12 minutes from 1st 911 call, until SWAT breached shooter's hotel door.

10:08pm 1st 911 call
11:20pm door breached

Its CNN could be wrong, but pretty specfic details.

That video makes it look like he was using the sound of the concert to drown out the shots at first.
I think he waited until the lights came on to illuminate his target.

Guess I should clarify. 90% of instances where an African American is murdered, it's at the hands of another African American. However, that does not breakout between the type of weapon used specifically which I didn't notice when first looking at it.

Latest says he had 20 rifles and ammo.

Kind of strange he used guns. As a pilot with access to planes just think what he could have done.
This is actually a good point.

This whole thing is really weird. I'm sure as time moves forward, there will be some major details that are not being shared.
A small civil aviation plane wouldn't have been able to do as much damage.
Wrong. A small Cessna that carries two people weighs about 1500 pounds. It can travel 100mph in a straight line, much more in a dive. Imagine 1500 pounds at 100mph into the middle of that crowd.

And you could always scale it up with bigger planes, cockpit full of gas, etc. etc.

I would disagree. A twin engine plane descending straight into a tight crowd would be devastating.
Not 58 dead +515 injured devastating.

If he came in low and level in a twin engine plane to a tightly packed venue like that, the death toll from the plane slicing through the crowd at 100+ mph plus the fireball would have likely killed many more than 58.

I do too. Guys like this one who would lay down their life for others may or may not be quite that common, but they still outnumber the evil doers many times over.

I think this is where we will see a rapid increase in drone technology for police.

Set up gunfire detection with armed drone response.
This will happen for a number of reasons.
I fully expect in the year 2030 there will be small flying cameras zooming around certain types of public spaces

This could have been worse. Hard to imagine but it truly could have. Guy may have been BSC but he was strategic and logistically minded.

Yep, BSC + High IQ can be an unbelievably bad combination.

As stated previously, having a guest with several suitcases/golf bag case/etc isn't uncommon. Personally, I think he made multiple trips over the few days he was there. It's not hard to logically come up with plausible scenarios.

Like 580 dead + 5150 injured devastating.

Why do you have to read more into my statement than what is there?

Did I say the current numbers were no big deal?

Yes! To go since the 28th pf Sep. and not have any red flags pop up says a lot abouy his preparation.

The last hotel I stayed at had a hangtag which indicated that you wanted to participate in a program to save water by having housekeeping not change anything out for three days.

Maybe Mandalay Bay has a similar program.

This is seriously one of the most perplexing acts of violence to me. With serial killers, there are usually clear psychopathic/sociopathic psychological signs. With someone who just acutely snaps and goes on a shooting spree, its usually explained as an acute psychotic break or it comes out that there were some signs that killer was mentally disturbed. But this one... this is just strange. There doesn't seem to be any sign of a motive or logical explanation at all. A seemingly normal, wealthy, retired man plans this for what would have to be months of procuring the weapons, researching when there were going to be that many people in that small of a space, booking the room in advance, etc. I don't know... This whole thing just feels off to me.

Not 72 minutes.
Then I don't know what this means:

It took police 72 minutes to locate Paddock after they received the first 911 call
