Just as I said: the victims will now sue the Mandalay Bay. This quote is from the LA Times.
Attorney Richard A. Patterson, who has already filed legal papers to prevent the distribution of any of Paddock’s assets on behalf of victim John Phippen’s family, said the latest revelations of a six-minute delay between the shooting of Campos and the beginning of Paddock’s shooting rampage suggest “incompetence" on the part of Mandalay Bay.
“We are talking six minutes, here. This is amazing and shocking that they didn’t respond faster,” said Patterson, who was planning legal action against Mandalay Bay’s parent company, MGM Resorts International, on behalf of victims and the families of those killed, wounded and injured.
“I think everybody’s question is, what if they had gotten there?” Patterson said. “There are high-speed elevators to the 32nd floor, A couple of minutes makes all the difference. At the very least, they could have distracted the killer. Maybe they could have prevented it.”
