It’s been almost two weeks since the “Las Vegas shooting.” It still doesn’t feel real.
Every mass-casualty event attracts its share of crackpots, and the Oct. 1 attack in Las Vegas is no different. But the flow of “fake news” about the shooting exceeds anything Sheriff Joe Lombardo has seen in other high-profile cases.
“You immediately think you’re gonna know the reasons why in the short term. Now, here we are a week after the fact and we still don’t know,”Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said during a Las Vegas Review-Journal interview Tuesday.
MGM Resorts International on Thursday released a new timeline of the events leading up to the Las Vegas Strip massacre, further challenging the sheriff’s latest account ahead of a planned Friday briefing.

Las Vegas Strip mass murderer Stephen Paddock used his Mandalay Bay hotel room to spray massive aviation fuel tanks with bullets Sunday night, a knowledgeable source told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The Mandalay Bay security officer that Stephen Paddock shot has been identified as Jesus Campos by the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America.
Stephen Paddock, the gunman who rained bullets on the Route 91 Harvest festival on Sunday night, spent decades stockpiling weapons and ammunition, and he “meticulously” planned the night he sprayed gunfire from his room at the Mandalay Bay on a crowd of concertgoers on the Strip, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Wednesday.
