I am concerned that no motive has apparently been found for the LV shooter. The BAU must be beside themselves if they really haven’t uncovered one. People just don’t do this kind of thing without one. In the beginning, I expected they would find a brain tumor. But since the autopsy hasn’t been discussed, I assume it was unremarkable.

He doesn’t fit the profile of a mass shooter at all. Apparently he lived an unremarkable life. Had money. Had a normal relationship. No evidence so far discussed about his being somehow radicalized. Obtained his guns legally.

Yet this guy put together an intricate plot. And apparently tested a number of venues.

Care to speculate his motive?

Nope. I am totally stumped. I see no immediate reason why this guy would do this.

I know you have idiots out there saying it was ISIS or whatever, but clearly, they had nothing to do with this incident.
 
I don't know where he shot himself, but if he shot himself in the head, we may not be able to discover a brain tumor.

I think if there were 3 to 5 shooters, ballistic data, would show this fairly quickly.
Even the same caliber round, does different things at 25 meters on the ground vs 400 meters from above.
For one the elevated shooter's bullets would be coming from around 17 degrees above.
 
John, can’t enlarge your image above, previous post, enough to read it. Can you summarize?

Maggie, you can try the "Ctrl +", on the keyboard to enlarge the image,
It is still a bit fuzzy, but more readable.

I reckon his motive was to kill people in a spectacular fashion. Mission Accomplished, we are told.

I am not sure that this qualifies as a conspiracy theory but here is my SWAG. The guy appears to have been pretty much a loner, numbers obsessed, non-drinker, non-smoker, no religious activity, no political activity, gun enthusiast and sent his (only?) friend out of the country. Perhaps he finally just got tired of life and decided to go out with a bang - thus become famous (infamous) posthumously by joining the ranks of top mass shooters. Essentially going from being a lifelong nobody after working for a lifetime to being front page news around the world for a few minutes of effort.

Since this is the conspiracy-theories forum, I wonder is there is video of the shooter entering and leaving his room beyond
a certain point?
Was there a video of the room door the entire time of the shooting?
Could someone else done the shooting, and left between the shoots fired at the security guard and the police arriving?

At this point, that theory is probably the best there is. Thank you.

I don’t think he set up cameras in the room. The hotel wouldn’t have cameras there. They were focused on the hallway, I believe. The door was barricaded shut per reports. There was no record of anyone else using the keypad. The hallway cameras showed no one else entering or leaving... The security guard, was I believe, shot in the leg which may have left him conscious...

I have not been looking hard, but I've been looking, and so far there are no such videos as you describe. Maybe I've missed them, but in this age of cameras everywhere, that seems odd.

And there have been stories that he had set up his own cameras here and there, but nothing to demonstrate that.

This is best I can do. Other forums allow reader to enlarge. Oh well....

Solve a mystery !
ROUSE is a name popping up in some surprising places.

Pete Rouse was a hi level insider early in Obama time in office. Pete Rouse was early Obama Chief of Staff.

Aaron Rouse was assigned head of FBI in Vegas in July of 2016.

Megan Rouse is daughter of John Podesta.

What are the family connections ?

Or all just a coincidence ?

So the shooter was upset about a risotto recipe?

They have said a baby monitor was set up out in the hallway, (this was how he know the security guard was coming.)
But they said the several cameras he set up, did not record, but were only monitors.
I was thinking about, could someone else have been the shooter, and gotten out of the room without being seen?
