LVMPD Preliminary Investigative Report 1 October / Mass Casualty Shooting

Source: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

On October 1, 2017, over 22,000 people came together to enjoy a country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. On the third and final night of the festival, a lone gunman opened fire into the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The gunfire continued for over ten minutes, resulting in the deaths of 58 innocent concert goers and injuring more than 700. With law enforcement closing in, the suspect took his own life.

It is not standard practice for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) to issue an investigative overview related to an open case. Due to the magnitude of this investigative response and the number of victims associated with this incident, Sheriff Joseph Lombardo felt it was important to author an overview of all investigative work accomplished in the aftermath of 1 October. This report is not intended to be a comprehensive and final account of the facts and evidence gathered but rather an overview of the investigation. The investigation into this incident is on-going and a full comprehensive report will be released upon its completion.

This report will reflect the number and identities of victims known to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to date. This information is vital in order to grant assistance, properly categorize the level of crime and most importantly, honor those who fell prey to this horrific act
of violence.

most are waiting for this Report to land. First thing we have to understand is this,how much will the Local Convention and Visitor Bureau Sanitize this report. There tons of Lawsuits filed and tons more to come. The Casino owners are going to take a major hit when this is all said and done.

As most know,our local Press is owned and controlled by Adelson,and most of TV Stations are Sinclair owned . So we locals will not see the real hard truth.

the Joints on the Strip as well as Fremont . When it comes to Lawsuits,as you well know,hit the deep pockets and bring in all the Players.

As you might expect,it is all about image and when it comes to that,the Casino's make it go away. Paddock was well known in the Gambling Joints and dropped mega bankrolls and won mega bankrolls.

Lone wolf guys with hatred for the world and shitty lives killing lots of people to leave a mark and questions about motivation. I would reckon there are one or two of them out there right now planning the next one. Probably a church or large venue with people on any given holiday. Easter is coming. I weep thinking about it.

The worst part is they cannot be contained. They simply cannot. Gun culture allows random people to amass a large stock of guns in a short period of time and it's perfectly "normal."
