Rampage Shooter Case Study

Conspiracy theories regarding the Las Vegas scandal have raised attention of many in hopes of uncovering the motive behind the attack. Without reason, Stephen Paddock fired into a crowd of 22,000 country music fans, killing 58 and injuring over 500. As the investigation moves forward, lots of theories behind the deadliest mass murder in US history have surfaced and raised lots of questions. Some are more practical and more likely than others, but all weigh heavily on the tragedy. Police investigations and research gathered by concerned citizens have convoluted and incomplete finds, all claiming different conclusions from the FBI performing an elaborate “routine” cover up, to a security guard accomplice, to the Illuminati striking again.

On the night of July 20th, 2012 the term tragedy was rewritten as the largest mass shooting in United States history took place in a movie theater located in Aurora, Colorado. What is now known as “The Batman Massacre” resulted in twelve casualties, fifty eight injuries, grief ridden family members, and left the rest of the United States searching for answers. This horrific scene will be replayed in the minds of the survivors for life and will be one of grave devastation to the family members directly involved. The shooting has many dynamic angles to consider, especially the ones that involve the shooter. Included here is his background, the legal issues inflicted, and his motive to carry out such a

A report by the National Public Radio reveals that the number of guns in America has increased from around three million in 1986 to over ten million in 2013, while the population of our nation has grown from 240.13 million people to 316.20 million people in the same time span, according to the S&P 500 PE Ratio. This means that gunmen have not always been on the loose. With fewer guns and fewer people, there were very few chances for a person to plan and act on a heinous atrocity. Karoliszyn strongly believes that a system that involved a “pre” investigation could stop criminals before the act, but could it actually prevent the crimes? If our times are the first to have a large number of criminals and on even greater chance of casualty, how do we know a premeditated system could actually

Gunmans in Mass shootings such as Stephen Paddock was the shooter on October 1, 2017 When he opened fire during a show he had killed 59 people and injured 527 people. In the hours after the retired accountant committed the shooting, authorities rolled out frightening new details, including the discovery of scopes on rifles at the resort and explosives at his home.A team of six officers spoke with security at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Paddock was staying, and searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before they found Paddock's room, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

Over the last decade or so, the United States of America has been shaken by an epidemic of terrifying mass shootings, devastating slayings of unexpecting victims, and unnerving annihilations of the innocent. There is no specific target, no explicitly sought-out group, nor definite individual. From a classroom of first-graders, to a crowded movie theatre, to a U.S. Naval yard, the location seems at most, random, other than that it is almost always a public place. The perpetrators responsible for these horrific murders also vary, and often surprise those who thought they knew them. However, while the occurrences of mass shootings are unpredictable and always shocking, most have one thing in

On October 1, 2017 a little after 10 p.m. Stephen Paddock started firing his gun at a crowd attending a country music festival in Las Vegas. Paddock was perched on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. He killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more. Paddock eventually ceased fire and ended up taking his own life in his hotel room. Since some time has passed, investigators have been trying to create and update the timeline of this horrific tragedy. New details from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on Monday have now turned the focus to the six minutes before Paddock fired his first shot on the festival crowd. Jesus Campos, a security guard, happened to be on the 32nd floor shortly before 10 p.m. He was investigating an alarm indicating that a door to a room - not Paddock’s -

In America, average citizens are subjected to mass shootings that are becoming more frequent and deadlier. A major underlying cause of these fatal mass shootings is the corruption in America’s mental health system. The government has provided stricter gun reforms and “stricter” gun control laws as a possible solution to this problem. Despite the government's efforts to eradicate this problem, mass shootings are still a major threat to society because guns are easily accessible to people who will use them in the wrong way. The government needs to take action such as making more gun laws focusing on mental health, more health educational campaigns, making more resources available that focus on coping skills for anger and conflict resolution

Mass shootings in the United States is a huge problem that has seemed to become a norm, faced rarely by other developed country. On October 1st, 2017 the most deadliest mass shooting in US history took place, suppressing the Orlando nightclub shooting just over one year earlier. This just like every other mass shooting has gun owners and opposers scrambling on what we should do next to fix this terrible problem.

The shooting in Las Vegas took the lives of 58 people and injured around 500 more. Stephen Paddock had unknown motives behind his killings but was found to have booked two different hotel rooms close to other music festivals months before the shooting. Before the shooting, Paddock had no criminal record. The only other preparations that they had found was that he acquired a collection of firearms a year before the shooting.

Hypothetically speaking, I strongly believe that the shooter was assisted by other individuals. According to the latest evidence shown by police within the last couple of days. My hypothesis was proven to be accurate as we investigated the latest article on the internet. It’s also proven that there were at least four other gunmen involved in the Las Vegas shooting. Also involving more floors than were expected to be involved the night of the gruesome crime. Stephen Paddock’s terrifying crime is identified to be the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Taking the life of fifty-eight american citizens and injuring at least five hundred. Still not obtaining a motive to why Mr.Paddock made the choices that he made. Sickening and still

On July 12 in 2016, one of the worst mass shootings in modern United States history took place. The Pulse Nightclub located in Orlando, Florida, was filled with more than 300 people on the night of the incident (BBC, 2016). When the gunman, Omar Mateen, opened fire, he killed 49 clubgoers and injured dozens. The motive of this terrible act of violence was not clear until police found Jihadist propaganda on Mateen’s electronic devices. Officials found out that the gunman acted alone. According to family and friends of Mateen, he was very unstable. His wife, who he

Whenever they occur, active shooter situations grip media headlines and create new discussions into the ways in which we as a nation can prevent them in the future. The U.S. Department of Justice (n.d.) defines an active shooter as, “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area” (para.1). The reason we see more active threat incidents in the news is not due to the media, but because there has been an increasing trend of such events. A study of 160 active shooter incidents from 2000 to 2013 has shown an upward trend in the instances of active shooters; from a mean of 6.4 incidents in the first seven years of the study to a mean of 16.4 in the last

Currently there are no known motives for Paddock’s actions, the Islamic State has attempted to claim responsibility for the attack but the FBI and senior US officials denied that Paddock has any links to any militant groups. Shortly after Paddock took his own life before a SWAT team arrived at his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Hotel (although there had been claims that he was killed by the police), finding “in excess of” ten automatic rifles inside. A search of his home address will take place in the coming

Stephen Paddock seemed like an everyday, average Joe. While he was staying at a Mandala resort, he began a quite peculiar collection. He stocked up on a variety of guns, rifles, and ammunition. On a Sunday evening, he fired at a Country Music Festival, killing more than 50 people, and injuring even more. Even though some of the injuries were due to individuals getting trampled, which isn’t directly his fault, he caused enough panic where they blamed him anyway. ISIS claims this catastrophe, just to add another notch on their chart. However, after thorough research, police investigators have yet to find any evidence proving that this may be true. Everyone is bewildered as to what provoked him to commit this horrible crime, even his wife and
