Watch: Vegas Shooting Body Camera Footage Released, No Broken Windows Reported


After the recent Las Vegas police release of nearly three hours of body camera footage, new questions have arisen regarding the entire official narrative. The footage shows officers going through the room where gunman Stephen Paddock was staying at Mandalay Bay. The fact that there were no broken windows in the room where he allegedly shot from certainly gives one pause.

Strangely, officers in the video above can be heard contradicting the official narrative, reports Intellihub.

We do not have a broken window,” one of the officers named Cory clearly states after making entry into room 32-135.

Standby, we’ve got curtains open on a window that’s not broken,” another voice can be heard saying in the video as officers frantically pull back the curtains.

It’s not, it’s not, it’s not [broken] — Corey it’s not,” one officer makes clear.

Additionally, another officer makes a rather odd statement which alludes to the fact that the shooter had merely set something up by the window. –Intellihub

“There is another one [gun] over here by the window he was setting up with,” he stated, as if no shooting took place from the room which may have just been some type of command center to control the air assault via helicopters.

Online conspiracy theorists began focusing on the windows in the aftermath of the attack, suggesting that an inverted photograph of police at the scene of the shooting shows no broken windows – however others have pointed out that the broken windows would not be obvious due to the fact that the dark spots on the building are actually lights inside of rooms. Paddock’s darkened suite therefore may not have been visible.

That said, reports of no broken windows are sure to fuel a new round of analysis.

Tense confrontation between police

The released body cam footage reveals that as officers worked to clear floors and evacuate guests, two teams of police confronted each other as one team rounded the hallway of the 29th floor, running into another team of Metro officers with their guns drawn.

“Metro police, Metro police, Metro police!” an officer from the first team shouts. “Police, police, police! Guns down, guns down!”

“Friendly, friendly, friendly,” another officer says, indicating that the group they encountered was in fact made up of other officers.

“OK, it’s friendly, friendly!” another shouts.

“Friendly,” another clarifies.

After the brief moment of tension, an officer from the first team instructs the other team to stay on the 29th floor and finish clearing rooms “so we’re not aiming guns at each other.”

“Copy that!” another says.

Then the first team heads to the 32nd floor. –LVRJ

Following the first breach of Paddock’s door, police then set off a second explosion on the connecting door between Paddock’s suite and a second room he rented. After the breach, the first officer on the scene, Hancock, fires what police described as a “negligent three-round burst” from his rifle – which can be heard on the body cam footage.

“Where did that other shot come from?” an officer asks. “Was that us?”

As an aside, one of the SWAT officers involved in the breach of Paddock’s room was arrested in February on counts of sexually assaulting a child and kidnapping. Bret Thiel, 38, was jailed on four counts each of sex assault against a child under 14, sex assault against a child under 16, six counts of kidnapping, five counts of lewdness against a child under 14, and two counts of child abuse or neglect.

The two-hour police scanner audio feed for the shooting can be heard below:

In March, CCTV footage from the Mandalay Bay of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock finally emerged, showing the gunman who killed 58 people casually gambling, walking around, buying snacks, eating and chatting with staff – reported the New York Times.

The footage spanning several days also shows Paddock checking in and bringing several bags of luggage.

“In the interest of providing greater context around Stephen Paddock’s actions in the days leading up to October 1, MGM Resorts has released these security videos and images,” MGM Resorts in a statement. “As the security footage demonstrates, Stephen Paddock gave no indication of what he planned to do and his interactions with staff and overall behavior were all normal.”

And yet, as we wrote in Marchdespite the CCTV footage of Paddock “acting normal” before to the shooting, we still don’t know what his motive was – a vacuum which several conspiracy theories have filled, including speculation that Paddock was actually an arms dealer in a sale gone wrong. As the theory goes, this might explain the 23 firearms he had in his hotel room. When the deal went sideways – Paddock’s buyers killed him, staged his body, and opened fire on the crowd.
