The more we find out about the tragic Las Vegas shooting the more we question all that unfolded. The timeline seems muddled and now they're saying that a police officer accidentally fired inside Paddock's suite. This took place after the officers entered Paddock's suite. Find out more about this interesting finding and what else still isn't making sense read below.

News that an officer fired inside Paddock’s suite does not appear to change that timeline again or substantially alter the police account of the shooting, but it is a small additional detail that had previously not been made public.

Joseph Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that an officer inadvertently fired the weapon after officers entered Paddock’s suite. The officer was not identified.

“It happened and we’re investigating it, just like we do with any officer-involved use of force,” Lombardo told the newspaper. “Nobody was struck.”

While other shooters targeting public places have left behind bitter manifestos or patterns of troubling behavior that took on heightened significance after their attacks, Paddock did not appear to leave any such sign or trail.

Lombardo, the sheriff, said during a news briefing earlier this month that he was “frustrated” by that, saying that Paddock “purposefully hid his actions leading up to this event and it is difficult for us to find answers for those actions.” The FBI has said authorities found “no signs of ideology or affiliations to any groups.”

Other details from that night have been muddled. After police first said the security guard, Jesus Campos, was shot during the attack on the music festival, Lombardo later amended that, saying Campos was actually shot six minutes before the mass shooting began. This raised questions about when police were alerted to an active shooter in the Mandalay Bay.

But MGM Resorts, which owns Mandalay Bay, said that timeline was inaccurate and denied that there was any six-minute gap. Following that, Lombardo offered still another timeline, saying there was no six-minute gap after all, while also lamenting the amount of time and attention spent on the timeline.

We should hope that the police were alerted sooner to this shooting as opposed to later, otherwise, it makes us wonder whether they could have saved more lives. Also, why did an officer “accidentally” shoot a weapon inside Paddock's suite? Perhaps one of the weapons was still loaded but the information surrounding this new fact is quite confusing and not very clear. It adds to the other “facts” and investigation leaks that continue to make this case all the more muddled and not accurate.
