The mass shooting and the death of the gunman, Stephen Paddock, who reportedly committed suicide,The Force Investigation Team (FIT) falls under the direction of the department's Internal Oversight and Constitutional Policing Bureau that is commanded by Captain Kelly M. McMahill, who is the wife of Clark County Undersheriff Kevin C. McMahill.Capt. McMahill is a staple on local television as the spokesperson for officer involved shootings in Las Vegas.McMahill is listed as a speaker at the November 2017 Conference of the Society for Integrity in Force Investigation and Reporting. She is scheduled for a talk on Las Vegas Metro Police Officer Involved Shooting Investigations.The FIT investigates all officer involved shootings leading to injuries or death.When the Baltimore Post-Examiner contacted the LVMPD Homicide Division on Tuesday and inquired if they were handling the Mandalay Bay shooting investigation, we were told that it was being investigated by the Force Investigation Team.A press information officer was not available for comment when contacted by the Baltimore Post-Examiner.The FIT conducts a criminal investigation to determine whether the use of use deadly force was legally justified under criminal law., according the departments use of force policy. FIT also directs the investigation against a subject who either committed crimes which led to the use of deadly force or who has committed crimes against an officer.Why the investigation is not being handled by the seasoned homicide detectives of the LVMPD seems peculiar when juxtaposed with the fact that the police said that Paddock was already dead, apparently by his own hand, when they entered his room at the Mandalay Bay.Why a shooting investigation team that investigates if police officers were justified in using deadly force, would be investigating the mass Undershooting is unknown.The Baltimore Post-Examiner was the first to break the story and produce a police audio recording that a SWAT officer fired his weapon inside Paddock's room. According to the police radio traffic that night after the rooms were breached a SWAT officer told the dispatcher that one SWAT officer did fire and that there were no other injuries and one suspect was down at this point.During the Oct. 3 press briefing, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo was asked by a reporter, "Did police or security guards fire any shots at any time during the encounter." Lombardo replied, "Um, during when he was discharging his weapon?" Reporter, "Yes." Lombardo, "We are not aware of that, no security guard or police,Was it a case of an accidental discharge and if so why has there been no press release on that, almost three and half weeks since the massacre?. What's the big secret? Who was injured, as the SWAT officer told the dispatcher that there were no other injuries?When four of the LVMPD officers who had entered Paddock's room after the door was breached, Detectives Matthew Donaldson, Casey Clarkson, and K-9 officers Joshua Bitsko and Dave Newton appeared on CBS' 60 Minutes, the Sunday following the massacre,The LVMPD has robots that have been used in prior incidents involving barricaded suspects, which the Sheriff said this incident turned into because Paddock had stopped firing on the crowd.The police saw the cameras on the room service cart, yet SWAT officer, Levi Hancock still approached the gunman's door to fasten the explosive for the breach.
