Vegas Cops Change Their Story: Paddock Shot Security Guard BEFORE Mass Shooting

By Jon Rappoport

Huge can of new worms…

LA Times: “Police said Paddock fired 200 rounds into the hallway” wounding a hotel security guard.

LA Times, October 9: “Police have dramatically changed their account of how the Las Vegas massacre began on Oct. 1, revealing Monday that the gunman shot a hotel security guard [in the leg through the closed door of his hotel room] six minutes before opening fire on a country music concert — raising new questions about why police weren’t able to pinpoint the gunman’s location sooner.”

The previous police story was: Paddock shot security guard Campos after he finished firing on the concert crowd.

The LA Times focuses on how this new information changes the timeline of events—in particular, the addition of minutes before police arrived at Paddock’s door.

Really? That’s the takeaway?

There is a far more serious question. Why did Paddock shoot the security guard through his hotel room door, with 200 rounds of ammunition (according to police), BEFORE starting to fire on the concert crowd?

Whether or not Paddock was using a silenced weapon to shoot the security guard, didn’t he think 200 rounds through a door might possibly alert people in the hotel to what he was about to do—kill people at the concert?

Security guard Campos, according to the Times, was on Paddock’s 32nd floor to check on an alert about another guest’s room door having being left open. Campos wasn’t there to check on Paddock. There is no indication Paddock was suspected of anything.

The new Vegas police sequence of events now goes this way: Paddock is in his room preparing to slaughter people at the concert; security guard Campos comes to the 32nd floor to check on a report of another guest’s door having been left open; Paddock sees Campos out in the hallway outside his door (using a camera Paddock had installed); Paddock fires 200 rounds through his door and hits Campos in the leg; leaving Campos there, Paddock then WAITS SIX MINUTES and begins firing through his broken window(s) at the concert crowd.

Perhaps the police will change their story yet again. Paddock didn’t fire 200 rounds through his door. He stepped out into the hallway and wounded Campos with one shot using a silenced handgun. He then left Campos there, went back into his room, waited six minutes, and then started firing on the concert crowd.

Or, after wounding Campos with one bullet, he paid Campos with a pile of casino chips and told him to wait in the hallway and say nothing to anyone for a half-hour.

Or he bound and gagged Campos after shooting him in the leg and stuffed him into a laundry closet in the hallway.

Or, the most popular tactic in these untenable and absurd stories: “Obviously, Paddock was crazy. There is no way to account for all his actions. We may never know why he did what he did.”

That usually works with the public. The police or the FBI paint themselves into a corner trying to hide the truth. They realize their latest version of events makes no sense. So they invoke the time-honored “we may never know” explanation.

If some reporter wakes up from his stupor and resists going along with the story, he’ll probably hear: “Yes, we’re looking into that. But we have no further comment at this time.”

Or most likely, any time.

Here is a reasonable assessment: since very early on, police had decided on this story: Paddock was the shooter; he was the only shooter; he wounded the security guard after he finished firing on the concert crowd.

But the fact that the security guard was wounded BEFORE the concert shooting was leaking out. People in Las Vegas knew about it. So the cops (or the FBI) decided they had to get out ahead of the leak, if possible. It would be better to change their story than wait and end up with egg on their faces.

And so far, it looks like they made a smart move. Because how many media outlets are pointing out how crazy the new story is?

Most importantly, how many other egregious lies are sitting under the previous security-guard lie? How many other devious twists and turns in the true tale are being hidden?

  1. ROFLAO! ????
    This is hillarious! Who writes this BS? The cops now admitting they were even dumber then originally thought from their original BS story!
    More proof this whole thing is fake! I keep hearing people know someone who was killed, but they are never someone that is actually related and attended the funeral to verify there is a body! Just like all the closed caskets of the kids at Sandy Hoax! I was told then someone knew somebody there too,and then nobody could admit to seeing a body or attending a funeral!

    • Gee, shame… you must love being an uninformed redneck.

      • Ooooh! That really hurt me!????
        You are beaming with such intellectual superiority with your prebuscent namecalling.
        When you decide to grow a brain, check out some of the obvious crisis actor interviews! The black guy that drove from California to attend a COUNTRY music festival wasn’t hillarious enough! They claim he was shot in the neck, then show him with clean white gauze on his arms and a hero! Or the Los Angelas firefighter they threw a vest on and let him declare people dead! The amount of stupidity is endless with these crisis actors!

      Ok you are sick! Two funerals in my community thank you, two! Attended a fundraiser tonight for a mom who was killed, her son sat in McDonald’s with his friends he grew up with, played Little League with, but it fake. You are a dip shit! Try telling that to the people I know who had bullets removed from their legs, backs, faces!

  2. still no blood, still no dead bodies.

  3. So, essentialy, even though he shot the security guard, the security apparatus was held down so he (they) could finish the mission. I wonder what the word is among hotel security. You know they’re being told to keep quiet. Its all unravelling and they can’t stop it. It sure is fun to watch them squirm and twitch. Lying SOBs! Traitorous bastards!

  4. So this bloke can nail 60 people from an elevated position hundreds of yards away but fails to take out the security guard on the other side of his door..? My bullshit meter is going beserk!

    • Typical yank… has to be a conspiracy, right? Dickhead.

    • and it took so long to come up with all this… Just wonder why such a delay? 9/11 scenery was also not planned along 100% off the ‘secure official version’.. It seems like the ‘planners’ never stood in front of the dead body of a loved one.

    • The following information clarifies the “lone gunman” fairy tale, as multiple guns are documented, reflecting multiple shooters: https //www naturalnews com/2017-10-08-bombshell-health-ranger-identifies-distance-of-second-shooter-at-las-vegas-massacre-not-mandalay-bay.html

      Julian Assange of wikileaks recently revealed the role of the FBI in previous, similar “false flags“.

      One wonders how long Pollard was “shadowed“ before he was selected to be the “lone gunman“. A look at the owners of Gambling and Prostitution in Las Vegas, owners of Las Vegas essentially, “hints” to one major spy and assassination agency that could have sponsored the “lone gunman“ massacre event. Otherwise, the multiple shooters would not have escaped the hotel without being identified.
      One wonders how long Pollard was shadowed before being selected to be the “lone gunman“ and if his “woman friend“ is one of the agents who shadowed Pollard.

  5. The Health Ranger has done an excellent Forensic Acoustic analysis.
    Definitely has more the one shooter.

    • He’s a paid disinfo shill too

    • Definitely is coming from a sound system, and not a real gun!
      Did he explain why there are no bullet sounds from hitting, concrete, metal, or for that matter people? Did he explain why the sounds are not ricocheting off the concrete skyscrapers? It’s cause it’s not a real gun! This was a “B” movie! They had an active shooter drill at Mandalay coincidentally the day before,
      The army was captured on video and photo of having Molage trailers in Las Vegas that same time! Molage is crisis actor makeup for conducting realistic live combat drills and rescues, using actors to simulate wounded.
      The CEO of MGM, James Murren, dumped a boatload of his MGM stick just 4 weeks prior along with some other top Mandalay Bay board execs! Or and that makes them guilty of Insider Trading AND market manipulation now! Just like those involved with 9/11 dumping a bunch of airline and company stocks days prior, but the stocks securities commission thought it was immposible they knew because they weren’t Al CIA-da members, cough cough!
      Or and let’s not ignore the other major problems with this hoax, which is the lack of seeing any more than 1 person with fake blood! How many victims were there? Hundreds! Nearly 60 dead, and we don’t have any video of any trauma teams, medivac choppers, or ambulance personnel helping care for one let alone HUNDREDS!

      If it walks like a duck, smells like a duck, it’s usually another Sandy Hoax!

  6. Have to make sure to cover up the Democratic-Liberal agenda… The police failed.
