I see you're newer here. An old homeless adage goes, 'Don't crap where you sleep, and don't eat where you crap'.
Although ATS has its share of disinformation, like the rest of the internet, it is one of the places the truth can still be mined. You just keep panning till you find those nuggets of truth.
There is no arguing with a person that sees conspiracies everywhere and their arguments are reduced to their concrete proof of “I said it’s all lies”, and “I am the only one smart/special/righteous enough to see the truth.”

After listening so closely to so many recordings of so many shooting incidents, hasn't it dawned on all of you that acoustics can be deceptive... especially when your baseline is action movie sound effects?

Also with so many rounds fired some were possibly ricocheting off various surfaces too consistently, which could be the variants in noises heard between shots fired and impacts.

This is not a movie. I don't listen to many incidents. This just happen to stand out as interesting.

It was not suggested that this incident was a movie. The suggestion was that ones only baseline for a firefight is usually a movie, unless one has some specific an extensive experience in combat zones.
Those are very different suggestions, I think you will agree.

If you have no baseline, all you have is imagination. From my experience in urban environments, I know that simply taking a step or turning one's head can completely change the tenor of a sound. The experts on TV mystery shows can perform analyses that are impossible in the real world.

The police arrived on the 32nd floor about 15 minutes after the shooting started. They then spent the next hour evacuating the floor and setting up a plan that would minimize the risk to civilians. This claim that it took police an hour to figure out where he was simply isn't true.

The idea it took police 60 minutes to clear a hall and breach a room is ridiculous.
Even the worst chinese restaurant delivery is faster than that.

Remember, his weapons were on auto fire. He could have several going at once.
