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

66. I'm not sure you are getting the point

I'm not married to any particular conclusion on what may have went on with him.

You were concluding that if he was shot first, then he necessarily had to have communicated his position and condition to someone.

That conclusion is not supported by anything, since there may be any number of reasons why he could not or would not have done so.

Do you see the difference between leaping to a conclusion and not leaping to a conclusion?

I am questioning, and still looking for an answer to the CONCLUSION reached in the OP and by others that if he was shot first then he NECESSARILY had the ability and means to report that fact to someone.

And, yes, recognizing that there could be any of several different hypothesis is very different from ruling them all out.

You are saying that if he was shot first then "LOGIC" requires that he would have reported that fact. No, it doesn't require any such thing.
