The Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner (CCOCME) is currently on lockdown and has been since the Oct. 1 massacre.
Footage obtained by Crowdsource the Truth’s Jason Goodman on Wednesday reveals the facility is being guarded by multiple police units despite the fact that the coroner is a dually elected official whose authority is among the highest of all law enforcement officials in the State of Nevada. The coroner is independent of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department altogether (i.e. the coroner supersedes LVMPD.)

...despite the fact that the coroner is a dually elected official...
The Clark County Coroner's Office is responsible for conducting medicolegal death investigations. The initial report is the responsibility of the Coroner Investigator. Currently there are two Coroner Investigative Forensic Supervisors, 16 full-time Coroner Investigators and five part-time Investigators that respond throughout the Las Vegas valley. There are also three part-time Investigators that handle the southern portion of Clark County, which encompasses the Laughlin and Searchlight areas, and three part-time Investigators that handle the northern County region, which encompasses the Mesquite, Overton and Logandale areas, with assistance from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

I've never seen 'County Coroner' appear on a ballot, is this a Nevada only situation?
ETA: My suspicion were correct, it is not an elected position:
John Fundeberg promoted to Clark County Coroner.
And there is only one coroner, but he does have an Assistant Coroner.
...
Law and government
Clark County Government is run by the Clark County Commission which consists of seven members who are elected to serve staggered four-year terms in biannual partisan elections.

Las Vegas coroner’s office on lockdown — but why?
Why would the Vegas coroner's office be on lockdown and guarded by the police for another week?
If the LV shooter was only one person, why is this happening?
According to the coroner the journalist interviews in the video this is the first time this has ever been done. Not to mention that there is more than one coroner in the office.
So what's going on? Was there more than one shooter?
When the journalist asks the coroner, and the police they tell him that they cannot say anymore and they were only told to do the lockdown for whatever reason.
This is very strange.

Because the rounds are a different caliber than what was portrayed and vastly divergent angles of entry I suspect

I don't understand the logic of "despite the fact". Why does the journalist think that having high authority should make an official less likely to be protected by police? Other duly elected officials, up to and including Presidents, also get police protection.

The reporter should not have been inserting their opinion to start with. I'm sick and tired of that personally. In fact, I disregard any article of any kind that has that type of language.
