Horrific Event in Las Vegas-Soleil Singh


After a disastrous and truly horrible event that occurred on October 1st in Las Vegas, new information of the gunman and what occurred prior, has just been released.


The gunman shot a security guard before opening fire on concertgoers in Las Vegas last weekend, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said. The guard was investigating an alarm signaling that a door had been left open on the same floor as the room the gunman was in. 
At 10:05 p.m, he shot numerous rounds into the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival from his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, authorities have said. He continued firing for about nine to 11 minutes. 
    His final shots were fired at 10:15 p.m., according to a police timeline. Authorities do not yet know what made him stop shooting, Lombardo said. By the time officers entered the room, he was dead from a self-inflicted gun shot wound. 
    The detail reflects a change in the shooting timeline police had earlier provided. Authorities had previously said they believed Campos drew the gunman's attention away from firing out the window, and that he didn't fire any further shots after wounding the guard.
    Investigators are still piecing together evidence left behind in the hotel room and using his background to determine why this man committed the worst mass shooting in modern US history.
    I believe that what he did is horrific, and I throughout this article, refused to mention his name- as he does not deserve any attention for this dreadful act he made. I believe that by glorifying this situation, it may trigger others to want to become notorious for infamous actions, and it is just outright wrong what this man did. He committed an evil act, and for that- he deserves no respect.
