1. Also had a lens on himself within the room. Wonder if/who he "livestreamed" it to? eom

2. If he saw the hotel security coming why did he aim low

and hit him in the legs? The hole in the door are all low.

3. do we know how he positioned himself in the room?

if he was laying prone on the floor perhaps shooting through the door at the security guard was all that was possible.

4. That makes sense but would seem counter productive

to his overall goal of killing someone. You would think that if he took so many precautions, paid attention to details and planned out all the legestics for at least several days that he would've carried that part of his plan out a little better. After all if he had the peace of mind to eat a nice meal before it all began so he was thinking calmly and rationally (if you call it that).

5. He may have thought just in case they -police, etc-were wearing bullet proof vests?? n/t
