Las Vegas mass shooting

Note in Las Vegas gunman's hotel room included details of bullet trajectory
Officer Dave Newton from the Las Vegas Police Department's K-9 unit said he noticed a note on the shooter's nightstand once officers breached the room. He said the note was located near one of the windows that Paddock had smashed with a hammer to fire onto the crowd below with high-powered semi-automatic rifles outfitted to increase their rate of fire.

"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," Newton said. "So he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there."

He was using algorithms in his gambling as well... endless nights of video poker.

From what I understand... when he was not eating or sleeping, he was gambling for hours on end.

He reportedly won over $5million dollars in 2015...

From what I have heard he was quite bright. It would make sense for him to focus on the academic calculations, based on what has been said about him. In reality, I think spraying a crowd with bullets would not take any calculation to kill mass amounts of people in a crowd of 22,000 -no high IQ necessary. Very puzzling. Sick SOB.

It didn't take a great marksman to kill that many people firing into a crowd like that.
 
Some of the testimony centered on his gambling.
He described himself as being, at one point, the "biggest video poker player in the world."
"How do I know that?" Paddock asked rhetorically. "Because I know some of the video poker players that play big. Nobody played as much and as long as I did."
At the height of his play in 2006, he testified, "I averaged 14 hours a day, 365 days a year."
"I'll gamble all night," he said. "I sleep during the day."
Asked if he ever visited the hotel pool, Paddock replied, "I do not do sun."

Now they are saying the security guard was shot 6 minutes before Paddock starting shooting out the windows. Previously it was thought Paddock stopped shooting because the security guard interrupted him and that's when Paddock shot the guard. Now the question is why did Paddock stop shooting out the window? It was still a long time before cops got there.

Something is just not right about this.

Agreed. It reeks!
 
The reasons are unlimited. One one hand it's definitely suspicious but on the other I can't really blame the guy for wanting to stay out of the public eye over such a horrible event. I'm assuming LE had already spoke with him and confirmed his story.

I agree. I could come up with numerous reasons for his departure/disappearance both good and bad.
