This only reviews the officially released documents. That doesn't mean I believe them, only that I reviewed them for releasing too much or inconsistencies.
These reports were never really intended to be read. In the preliminary report Rodriguez is misspelled with a q; that spelling error is never fixed. Numerous other spelling errors and vague language fill the document. The corrections just clarify questionable parts of the story. In the preliminary report Engineer Schuck locked the elevator. In the final report the elevator was locked at police request. The preliminary report note over an hour between the last shots and the SWAT breach, in the final report that is explained as the shift from active shooter to barricaded subject protocols.
The final report addresses the questions of conspiracy and motive. A broader conspiracy is dismissed out of hand. Motive is never explicitly stated, but the statements of Paddock’s family imply a standard lone nut motive.
Stephen Paddock seemed prepared to host a meeting. He prepared an artificial flower display. He had a second refrigerator sent to the primary room. He also had booked an adjacent room. 13 minutes passed between the first shots and no detectable heat signature in the main room. During this time Paddock fired over 1,000 rounds from multiple rifles, in multiple rooms, at at least 3 separate targets (concert, fuel tanks, and hall), drilled holes, and subsequently lie dead for an hour before SWAT entered the scene.
Campos and Schuck are both odd characters. Security Officer Campos is the first one shot, but with such a superficial wound that he suspects an air rifle. No air rifle is ever found. Campos reported the exact floor and room where the shooter was, but despite that SWAT checked several other floors first. Campos left the country immediately after the shooting to attend a preplanned vacation to Mexico with his father. Law enforcement authorized this vacation.
Engineer Schuck was dispatched to remove the “L” bracket which blocked the stairway access to the 32nd floor from below. Upon arriving Schuck took fire and sought cover in an alcove. Schuck remained on the floor through the explosive breaches and assists with the evacuation of guests. Shuck stated he could have left earlier, but wanted to help.
SWAT Officer Sean O’Donnell was in a lot of places making a lot of decisions. He is the only named officer who approached the 32nd floor from above. The main SWAT element moved from the 29th floor up slowly clearing every room on their way up. He took a service elevator from the top floor to the 32nd floor where he met the rest of the strike team. He decided to change procedure from active shooter to barricaded subject. He saw the camera on the food cart and decided on the explosive breach. He was the first to see Paddock’s body. He was also negligently discharged his weapon in the stack to breach the second room. Prior to his negligent discharge he placed his weapon on burst mode so it fired 3 rounds.
There are inconsistent reports regarding the approach to Paddock’s room. Notably armed casino security officers responded almost immediately to the 32nd floor to assist Campos. 2 LVMPD officers also arrived during the shooting. Neither of these groups attempted to enter the room or stop the shooting in progress. They were instead tasked with evacuating the rest of the floor, which may have continued or commenced after the explosive breach.

They were definitely involved, I think the mob is trying to do insider trading, of some sort with OSI/Chertoff. However, I also think that some sect of the government was involved. I just don't know the names, you could theoretically access all of the data that was produced from those 7 days. Cross reference every single person who was in the building at the time, then identify your targets. It would be expensive to garner this information, as if it is recorded it is always available on someone's hard drive. The only way that would 100% implicate MGM Grand, is video surveillance, I don't think they're stupid enough to turn their camera's off, that would also make implicate them.
