Another Curious Question - Why Did He Stop Shooting?

[SoCalMusicLover]

He apparently was shooting for around 10 minutes, but then it was another hour before they got to him. I just read that he did shoot at the police once they located him. If true, he did not kill himself after he finished shooting.

Did he lay low in hopes they wouldn't locate him? Did he run out of the high power ammunition? Seems to me that the death count could have been even higher if he had kept shooting the full 72 minutes it took to locate him.

2. Just hear to see the comments

3. Probably got bored with killing people and took a nap. There is no logic in something like this.

4. Maybe people were too dispersed by then. Maybe he got burned w/the rifles.

5. Be hard to lay low, with windows shattered....so no one heard them breaking either?

6. I am beyond trying

to understand any of this. I find it terribly disheartening looking through posts on facebook. The conspiracy theories are rampant as hell and everyone seems to know exactly what happened. After the shooting and readind/debating on facebook I have no faith in humanity anymore. Collectively, we are not well...

I was criticized for being someone who believes "the official news." Does that not just prove my point? What is wrong with this country?

7. Gun he liked got hot, gun jammed, took a dump, wanted smoke in room to clear,

peered through binoculars, skimmed TV channels, fingers got cramped, gun broke, got bored, sent texts,
listened for footsteps...

Any number of random things.

8. You would think a security alarm would have gone off when he broke out the window.

Also, where did the broken glass land? On a sidewalk or some less traveled location? Seems a little odd no one noticed the glass or broken window.

I think those 72 minutes are going to fuel a lot of conspiracy theories in the years to come.

13. I would think they had a glass break alarm

But perhaps he was able to remove it.

9. Maybe he got tired or was satisfied with the amount of destruction?

?

10. He was dead when they found him. Who knows when that happened.

The smoke alarms went off when the room got smoky, which helped them locate him. If he imagined they'd find him as soon as that happened he might well have killed himself.

11. He burned up all the barrels?

12. and why did it take so long to find him?

Within several minutes they figured out the shooting was coming from above Then determined it was from the Mandalay direction. OK look up oh there's broken windows. Shine a spotlight if needed looks like floor 30 or so. Probably not that hard to determine exact floor and which rooms just by seeing the broken windows. WTF? It took over an hour to search floor by floor Thank God he stopped shooting after 10 minutes

14. they found him

because the fire alarm in his room went off because of the smoke from the rifles. Maybe that is what stopped him.
