quick recap; i was listening to the incident live on police scanners and i think i also had access to a taxi dispatch feed, but i remember hearing overlapping series of reports from shots. like it absolutely 10000% sounded like there were at least 2 guns firing at the same time. different tones/report, deliberate strings of shots overlapping with each other. and ive always acknowledged that sound is a tricky thing but i heard what i heard.
last night, i heard fireworks go off at midnight. they were being set off to the east of me. very similar cadence to some of the shots i heard that night in 2017 as it happens, but whatever.
and about a half a second later, i heard an echo of those fireworks, from the west. and they sounded completely different tonally but had the exact same pattern. they were just echos, sfo.
at this point im completely convinced that what i heard that night in 2017 were echos of paddock's shots, reflecting off adjacent buildings and so on.
like honestly case closed as far as im concerned.
