The Not-So-Super Superhost
Our leading man in this tragicomedy is Stephen Paddock, a retired accountant with a penchant for high-stakes gambling. Apparently, dude wasn't a fan of the new comps program at his favorite casinos. Maybe they cut him off from the free buffets? Who knows! Anyway, instead of taking his complaints to customer service like a normal person, Paddock decided to throw a temper tantrum of epic proportions.

Apparently, revenge wasn't a dish best served cold for Paddock. He booked himself a swanky suite at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, overlooking a country music festival happening right below. Not exactly the soundtrack of choice for a disgruntled accountant, but hey, location, location, location, right? Instead of requesting a room with a view of the buffet (a much better use of his energy), Paddock stockpiled enough weapons to arm a small militia in his room. We're talking assault rifles, shotguns, the whole nine yards.
The Big Bang (Theory Not Included)
With his arsenal in place, Paddock decided to unleash his fury on the unsuspecting concertgoers below. Imagine this: You're belting out your best rendition of "Friends in Low Places," swaying to the music, when suddenly it sounds like the world's gone rogue kazoo solo. Turns out, it's not a particularly enthusiastic audience member, but a hail of bullets raining down from a nearby hotel window. Chaos ensues.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
The Not-So-Grand Finale
While the folks below were scrambling for cover, what was our villain doing? Turns out, after causing all that mayhem, Paddock decided he wasn't a fan of his own party. (Maybe the free snacks weren't up to par?) Police breached the door to find Paddock playing a permanent game of hide-and-seek... with himself. He'd opted for a self-inflicted gunshot wound, ending his little tantrum with a bang (literally).
