** Late Breaking ** The shooter in Vegas shot the security guard before he shot his other victims.

I read that the guard who was shot informed hotel security of what had happened. That's good.

But it still took the police almost an hour to arrive. That turned out to be really awful.

So, more questions:
-- Why was there no immediate response by hotel security?
-- Did hotel security inform the police when they learned of the shooting?
-- If not, why not? And if not, why did they not respond?
-- If so, why did it then take an hour or so for the police to respond?
-- And why did he shoot for only 10 minutes? And when did he shoot himself?

Granted, I have no experience in emergency response. Maybe it's not unusual for it to take an hour to respond to a shooting of this magnitude without risking police lives. But hundreds were being shot. Surely that might have sped things up.

I get that this investigation is going to take a long time. And it does look like the LV sheriff is doing a decent PR job under difficult circumstances. But who investigates the response? And when is it appropriate to do so?
