Las Vegas Disaster!!!

The article I have chosen is called “After Las Vegas Shooting, a Tight-Lipped Sheriff Faces a Maddening Case”. The Las Vegas shooting was a terrible experience that Sheriff Lombardo had to deal with according to Mitch Smith, Jennifer Medina, and Timothy Williams of the New York Times. On Sunday, October 1, a mass shooting at the country music festival in Las Vegas has changed so many lives. This shooting killed 58 people and wounded over hundreds more. Sheriff Lombardo is known to be very moderate and the best police officer there is in Las Vegas. That being said Sheriff Lombardo has dealt with a lot of cases but nothing compares to this one. Sheriff Lombardo states, “this is one of the most frustrating criminal investigations in memory” meaning that he can not find a reason the gunman did such a thing while leaving no public accounting for his actions. Sheriff Lombardo is a very “plain-spoken” man so he is going to be very blunt in his interviews about anything the speaker will ask him. Stephen Paddock, the shooter, smashed out his hotel windows as he started shooting with a semi-automatic. Devastating the whole urban town of Las Vegas. Sheriff Lombardo states, "I do not think Stephen could have done all this shooting on his own. Someone else had to be apart of the crime but escaped before anyone saw him." Sheriff Lombardo does not like to speak out in public about crime scenes which is causing a lot of frustration with some people but he is the most down-to-earth person. The authors discussion about the topic had some very good points. The authors talked a lot about how awesome Sheriff Lombardo was at his job. They also made it clear that this massive shooting has been the worst shooting in the United States. I clearly saw there most subjective opinion when they stated that Sheriff Lombardo thinks that Stephen Paddock was not the only one that caused this. This is a huge opinion because he was the only one seen. Another opinion is that the authors make Sheriff Lombardo seem like the best officer around when the people around Las Vegas can have a different opinion. The authors stated that this investigation was very frustrating for Sheriff Lombardo and as this being a factual misconception I agree with them. I agree with them because they do not have reasons on why Stephen Paddock acted the way he did, they do not know if he was alone or not, and this shooting killed 58 people and hurt a lot more.
