As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The following are the dispatch transcripts from the Las Vegas slaughter. I have highlighted the more pertinent transmissions, and placed in RED the transmissions which need to be focused upon for what they say.
REPORTS are not officer eyewitness observations, but what was reported to them. These have less value, but give a feel for the situation. Officers under stress can make mistakes, but their observations have more weight, including observations of multiple floor shootings at the Mandalay.
I desire to point out the following with explanations.
At 10:17 shots are reported fired outside the medical tent. The medical tent is red and north of the stage and concert venue. This is the location of the woman reported KIA, shot from the northwest. Mandalay is southwest from this location. She was shot with an expansive bullet as it blew her stomach out.
10:23 the police are receiving multiple reports of multiple shooters inside the concert venue.
At 10:25 there is this report “644D” reports multiple victims with gunshot wounds on the east side of the building at Reno just east of the boulevard on the east side of the church.’ Note something very important in this, the concert is east of Mandalay Bay, the church is a Catholic church. It is impossible for a shooter at Mandalay to wound people through a church. Either these wounded were moved or crawled there, which is yet to be ascertained, or they were shot from the airport.
At 10:26, the police report a dead officer on the 32nd floor. Who this is there is no report on. This is not a mistake as the officers report Jesus Campos wounded and alive.
There are two shooters reported confirmed. The shooters are on the 29th and 32nd floor.
At 10:46 and 10:48 reports appear of casualties, at Giles and Alibaba. these are side streets by the concert. Mandalay Bay is reporting casualties also. Whether these are walking wounded or people wounded at Mandalay Bay is unknown.
At 10:51 a shooter is spotted by Security at another location in the Paris, as someone with a firearm, but he can not be located by police.
These are the most pressing facts in this timeline. Some can have plausible explanations, but others in shots fired at the medical tent, an officer shot in the head north of the venue, all confirm multiple shooters as do the police reports of shooters on the 32nd and 19th floors.
