They knew his location right away. The fire alarm for
that room was tripped by the smoke.

A recent war Vet was two floors under the shooter and heard the gun
fire. He called 911 and told police where the guy was. A valet
parking attendant heard glass falling, hitting the ground. The smoke
alarm was a strong indication of the exact room. Security notified
police of that location. Hence the rapid response.

10:05 First shots fired by the suspect. This was seen on
closed-circuit television from the concert venue.

10:12 First two officers arrive on the 31st floor and announce the
gunfire is coming from directly above them.

so far, so good.


11:20 The first breach was set off and officers entered the room. They
observed the suspect down on the ground and also saw a second door that
could not be accessed from their position.

11:27 The second breach was set off allowing officers to access the
second room. Officers quickly realized there was no one else in the
rooms and they answered the radio to confirm that the suspect was down.


Not sure about the second door. This was ~1800 sf, two bed room suite
with windows 45 degrees each other, a corner room. A perfect lair to
perch.

The shooter was only active for about 10 minutes so probably nobody else
died while they were assembling their SWAT team and holding the
briefing. It's not clear just when the shooter checked out.


He checked out via self inflicted injuries about the time Po Po
breached the hallway door. No police abuse was necessary :-\
