MGM Resorts International, the parent company of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, released a statement Tuesday night disputing the latest police timeline of the Oct. 1 mass shooting targeting the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
MGM Resorts spokeswoman Debra DeShong said the investigation is ongoing "with a lot of moving parts," and the company "cannot be certain about the most recent timeline that has been communicated publicly, and we believe what is currently being expressed may not be accurate." On Monday, Sheriff Joe Lombardo told reporters that a Mandalay Bay security guard who police previously said had been shot after Stephen Paddock fired at the music festival was actually shot beforehand, and also said Paddock checked into the Mandalay Bay resort on Sept. 25, three days earlier than originally reported. Lombardo also told The Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday that the timeline "could change even more" in the coming days.
