I doubt windows can be opened in most hotels nowadays.  It's an insurance thing.  In this sue-happy society, hotels don't want to be liable if someone falls out or jumps.

I've stayed at Mnadalay Bay and at least for the room I was in and it looked like all the regular rooms, none opened or even had a balcony. I am not sure about the very top penthouses.

Anybody know if the windows can be opened at Mandalay Bay?  Guess if not, he could have just broken one out for his spree.

If the broken window with the curtain fluttering in it is any indication...it looks like he broke it out...there was no balcony.  It was a floor to ceiling window that has just a few jagged edges left.

You'd have more of an echo effect if they were spaced closer together...IIRC Mandalay Bay is isn't jammed up against other buildings on the strip...less chance of echo confusion.  And even with echo...it wouldn't give the impression of automatic fire versus semi auto fire...it would only give confusion as to the direction the fire was coming from.

Vegas Shooter's Brother: 'He Snapped'
"He has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know. This wasn't a terror attack."


ByJames Barrett
October 2, 2017

The brother of the man who opened fire on a country music concert in Las Vegas on Sunday night told reporters that his brother was a regular guy who appears to have just "snapped."

On Sunday night, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire from his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort on a crowd at a Jason Aldeen performance at the Route 41 Harvest festival. By the end of Paddock's horrific act, over 50 people were dead and over 400 injured. The nightmare — which is the most deadly mass shooting in the history of the country — ended when Paddock committed suicide via firearm in the hotel room, where he had been staying since Thursday. Authorities found a cache of ten rifles in the room.  ...  http://www.dailywire.com/news/21793/vegas-shooters-brother-he-snapped-james-barrett?

Is that a tattoo on his neck (looks like a 13 or a B) or just the way the shadows are on his neck looks like one?

Heartbreaking story from one witness.  His buddy was shot and this witness was trying to get his friend somewhere safe and where he could get help.  The friend died in his arms.

That'd be the simplest way to modify a standard weapon.  The dispersion at distance would be wide, due to lack of two hand control.  Initial reports mentioned two shooting stations.  If he had bipod support for it, that would make it more manageable and concentrated on the crowd.

I went to bed around midnight, central time and wake up to this - couldn't believe the numbers killed and wounded.  The numbers I heard a short time ago from the news briefing was over 50 killed and over 400 wounded.  This was not a spur of the moment shooting.  That killer had been in the hotel for a few days, putting this all together.  Now hearing he had ten guns in the room.

Yes that's what I'm hearing too.  Woke up to find out that every single news app I have had multiple notifications flooding my screen.

@Cyber Liberty
The video I'm seeing/hearing does not sound like echo's.   I know what an echo sounds like and I've heard automatic fire as well.   To me this sounds like an AK-47 or similar weapon.   He probably had 30rd magazines but it sounds like he shoots longer than those would allow.  The 40 Rd magazines tend to jam too much.

There are several places in Las Vegas where you can shoot full auto weapons, he might have stolen them.

It is happening.  The left is calling for gun control.   Apparently one more law could have prevented this.

Well gee, if laws will solve the problem we should just make it illegal to kill people.

The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.

Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.
