LAS VEGAS (INTELLIHUB) Carlsbad Police Captain G. White was seated on top of the roof deck of the Losers bar with his wife and their four friends when he heard fully-automatic gunfire emanating from the direction of the Mandalay Bay around 10:05 pm.
The sound was gunfire with a distinctive cadence that I could not place, the captain wrote in a supplemental narrative filed with the department on October 8th.
White explains: The cadence was consistent, however, it was much slower than an automatic AR-15 or AK-47 platform [it] sounded similar to a Browning 50 cal. M2 machine gun.

Keep in mind, the captains report dovetails with other reports from eyewitnesses whove claimed virtually the same thing.
