Since the Las Vegas gunman opened fire from his 32nd-floor hotel suite, killing 58 people at a country music festival last week and injuring hundreds more before shooting himself, questions have swirled around the attack.

Investigators plumbing Stephen Paddock's life in search of answers have been so far unable to explain what motivated him to carry out the rampage, why he stopped shooting and whether he planned even more carnage beyond the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

In recent days, a new level of uncertainty has emerged in the case, as questions also emerged about the law enforcement response to the shooting after police revised their account of what happened before and during the massacre.

It could change again? Perfect.

It's either a massive coverup or a massive cluster[bleep].

Well, they don't call it an investigation when all is known at the outset.

Bump up.

It's either a massive coverup or a massive cluster[bleep].

I think that's the choices we're pretty much down to.

It's either a massive coverup or a massive cluster[bleep].

I posit it's both.

Could have saved them a lot of headaches if at the time they gave the time-line press briefing they gave a disclaimer that the investigation was ongoing and the time-line may change as they learn more from those involved and examine security cameras and records of calls made.
The police know that People's recall events differently, sometimes dramatically the farther away from the event they get.   Often becoming more accurate once the "fog of war" clears.
