There was only deadbolt in the pic
There would be no reason to have a deadbolt on the big room.
Its deadbolted from the one side if the room is rented to a different occupant!
WHy on earth would someone who is securing himself in so much want to go walk in the public hallway?
There were more than one messing around with stuff imo
From the way it reads it sounds like all his ID stuff was laid out in plain view for easy finding!! Kinda like a patsy!
It was padocks room both of em why would he lock it -- has no logic to their story.
They had to wait until things were taken care of before breach -- they certainly were clearly told more than once the exact floor and room
in fact the two inital reporters (suppossed sec guard maintenance) were standing 22 feet away.
All the cr@p about not knowing what room is just that -- a crock --- that is imo also why SWAT was not called till 1025 -- things went south and they needed to get there stuff together .
OPerations obviously knew the operation had not gone well !!!
Where oh where was Swat when ya need em.
Sirens are blaring dispatch is going nuts people are running all over the city news flashes are all over the city mayhem and were supposed to belive that members of SWAT team throughout the city need a invitation to find out what is going on in the city there job is to protect??
The LVMPD SWAT team is a nationally respected organization.[SUP][
citation needed][/SUP]
The team, composed of nearly 40 operators, is one of a handful of full-time SWAT teams in the country. The team's main objective is to save lives, victims as well as suspects. They are on the cutting edge on the use of a constantly changing array of less-lethal weapons and munitions. Team members are highly trained and work in no less than two-man cells.
or to put it another way 40 people (SWAT folks) in the city had no idea anything was going on -- I would think 40 Swat people who hear sirens blazing all over their city would kind of find out if they might be needed !!
And they had nothing to do with anything -- some ad hoc group of LE people decided to storm a room with god knows how many people on the other side machine gunning people to death for ages .
The only logical answer is that some high up folk fully aware of what was happening and that something went wrong advised to delay.
LE is similar to to military stuff in that people just obey commands without asking anything so if an order came to hold off until advised they would do it .
They had to be delayed shhhhhh
75 minutes -- really !! If it was not by design then LV Swat team has some serious deficiencies that need to be addressed STAT
We also have to remember that lie number 426 in the first 24 hours was that a smoke alarm was the reason for interest.
A fire alarm from gun smoke led police to the Las Vegas shooters room, retired officer says
wrong -----------again
