7. Given everything it's actually not bad

They had to locate him, mobilize a SWAT team, travel to the hotel, get up to the room and force entry. Typically SWAT teams are cops with regular duties and shifts who also volunteer and train for that duty, so they had to all drop what they were doing on or off duty, gear up, travel to the scene, make it up to the floor and make entry.

Since he had stopped firing by that point rushing in with active shooter protocol takes a back seat to a more deliberate entry by a SWAT team.
