The jammed guns kind of put the BS call to the clowns claiming an untrained 64 yr old accountant could not possibly have done all that shooting. The guns jammed presumably because he was running them near full auto full time or near so.
That's where I'm at now too Six. It's not difficult for me to believe that one man could acquire all of that ammo, the bump stocks, and the firearms without an accomplice and do the shooting himself. Anyway, there's no indication that any of that was illegally procured, so no flags were raised.
I'm a little confused about the 'explosive material' found in Paddock's car and residences. Last night, the sheriff said that 50 pounds of Tannerite were found in Paddockâs car as well as 1,600 rounds of ammunition. Tannerite is used to make exploding targets for firearms practice and can also be used to make explosive devices. It was previously reported that ammonium nitrate, which can be used to make explosives were found in the car.
Anyway, If Paddock did have help, I hope the accomplice(s) are found quickly, but I'm not assuming there had to be accomplices based on what we know now. Here's the layout of the room and its contents when LE entered. https://latimes-graphics-media.s3.amazon...-blog-.png
Paddock purchased 30 of his firearms in October 2016. The sheriff confirmed that investigators are trying to determine if there was something that happened in Paddock's life at that time that could have triggered him.
Were you surprised that the sheriff said surveillance video of Paddock's room hadn't been viewed yet? I'm really curious about that. I know LE has had A LOT to do, but it surprises me if that wasn't done immediately.
