LAS VEGAS (AP) — The daughter of a woman injured during the Las Vegas shooting says she’s confused about why police have changed the timeline involving the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Nicole Rapp said Tuesday she’s “having a hard time wrapping my head around” the change announced by police a day earlier. Her mother was trampled by a stampede of concertgoers as bullets rained from the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel and casino.
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Monday Stephen Paddock shot and wounded a Mandalay Bay security guard outside his door and sprayed 200 bullets down the hall six minutes before shooting at the concert-goers.
Police previously said Paddock shot the guard after unleashing the barrage of gunfire on the crowd.
Rapp says it is traumatic for the victims and their families not to be sure of what happened.
Meanwhile, the Las Vegas security guard who was shot in the head while helping concert-goers flee the recent mass shooting will be laid to rest later this week.
Officials say services are planned for 21-year-old Erick Silva on Thursday.
Jay Purves, the vice president of Contemporary Services Corporation’s Las Vegas branch, said the funeral for his employee will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at Davis Funeral Homes and Memorial Park in Las Vegas.
Silva was shot while helping people climb over a barricade.
He was among the 58 people killed Oct. 1 by Stephen Paddock, who was perched in a casino hotel tower when he unleashed more than 1,000 bullets onto a crowd of country music fans below at an outdoor festival on the Las Vegas Strip.
