Yes, you are right. I made a poor choice of words. "Helpers" is a much better description.
However, there are multiple witnesses who say they know beyond a shadow of a doubt, 100%, that there was more than one shooter. And then, there's that guy that got shot behind that building where a bullet couldn't have reached at that angle coming from the hotel window. So, I guess I just had "shooters" on my mind when I chose that word.
Quote:Well, to be fair, Lombardo didn't say anything at all about "more than one shooter". All he suggested was that Paddock either "had help" or was a "superman". "Help" doesn't necessarily mean more shooters, and more shooters would probably be counterproductive in this scenario, although it is certainly possible. People to run interference, create confusion, and move materiel would be a lot more useful than another shooter or two. 80% of any army are people who are "helping", for example in logistics, rather than people who are shooting.
An example of "people who are helping" are whomever was calling in all the false reports of mass shooters here, there, and everywhere in the two weeks leading up to the shooting and intensely doing so that night, just before the shooting. .That creates confusion among the first responders, and draws them off to other areas so that the shooting can proceed unimpeded.
