    His method of shooting from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel was similar to how Charles Joseph Whitman shot and killed 17 people from tower of the University of Texas at Austin.
    The attack came exactly 11 years (to the day) after Charles Roberts killed five Amish schoolgirls in 2006.
