Official narrative
Millionaire gambler and businessman Stephen Paddock took a number of guns up to his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort, Las Vegas. He then began shooting onto the crowd of concertgoers below, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds, making this mass shooting the deadliest ever committed by an individual in the United States. About an hour after firing his last shot into the crowd, the FBI stormed his room where they found Paddock had shot himself dead. Even two weeks on, the authorities have no explanation for why Paddock started shooting, or why he stopped.[3]
Concerns
Some videos on YouTube appear to show gunshots coming from positions other than the 23rd floor, particularly the 4th floor.[4][5] On October 2, 2017 Mike Adams of Natural News claimed that the official narrative was ludicrous and that his forensic acoustic analysis indicates that there were two shooters.[6] On September,11th an anonymous user posted on 4chan that an incident will likely happen in the near future in Las Vegas.[7] Shepard Ambellas of Intellihub reported that he tracked unusual flight patterns of airplanes with the help of Flightradar24 which moved like helicopters, hovering over buildings in the direct vicinity at the time of the event, making possible the extraction of operators, as well as being another spot from which was fired.[8]
Corporate media reporting
Corporate media has assumed an uncritical role, echoing the government's narrative[9]. Coverage of the attack was much less than other such shootings[citation needed] and allegations about Harvey Weinstein quickly dominated reporting[When?].
Response
After the incident, the debate about gun laws in the U.S., with attention focused on bump fire stocks, which Paddock reportedly used to allow his semi-automatic rifles to fire at a rate similar to that of a fully automatic weapon.[10]
