Active Shooter in Vegas!

[Ninurta]

I might have heard rumors of strange cell phone calls going out to seemingly random
individuals over the time span I mentioned.
The smarter ones will not have answered those calls...

... but it only takes one to answer.

If you were still in the 'just-tossing-things-out-there'-mode... would these individuals have
been primed well in advance and -just wiling the time away, who by...?
(The second query I understand will be answered vaguely -if at all!)

I have to run out to the Big City just now, to pick up some untrackable, cardless, cold hard cash, but will respond to this more fully (if vaguely) when i get back home. Should be gone a half hour or so. In the mean time, I've added to this post you've quoted.
