Iron sights would have been useless, and scopes only marginally effective.
Iron sights useless at night ? lol........hardly, and it is not like you could not move to a better vantage point to see.....In almost any shooting the LEO's have to move to get an advantage to be able to stop a shooter....if something is in your way you move around it or whatever it takes so you can fire to stop the shooter.....was this a very sudden unforeseen incident ? yes, but with the current situation in the World this incident looks like the shooter knew Vegas LE would not be an obstacle to worry about until he did his damage....I would bet the Hotel is already interviewing and hiring a few Ex-Military Shooters for the newly formed Security Team.....and buying some metal detectors....and upgrading camera system.....even if just to make everyone feel good.....
