Maui's police chief was incident commander at 2017 Las Vegas shooting

Twitter

This story's about a week old, but it's the first we'd heard of it, so we thought we'd pass it along. USA TODAY did a piece on Maui Police Chief John Pelletier, noting that he's no stranger to tragedy. Years before he had cops barricade the only paved road out of town for people to escape the fire, he was incident commander at the Las Vegas shooting in 2017 that killed 58 people. As you know, no motive was ever released.

USA TODAY reports:

Pelletier told a commission considering him for the Maui chief job that his vast experience in policing a large tourist destination while understanding the local community made him a good fit, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported in 2021.

He also said responding to the 2017 massacre would make him prepared to handle any situation. He described leading the area command that night as his greatest professional achievement to the commission, according to the outlet.

“It took years to build that response. It took years to get that right, but we got that right, and we got our hands around it, and we did something incredible,” he said of the police response at the time. “We took the biggest crime scene, second only to 9/11, and we did everything to mitigate that. We brought a community together. We did something really, really great.”

"Really, really great."

USA TODAY skips over the Las Vegas shooting pretty quickly. Who did it and why? Was there a manifesto? How did a guy get that much hardware up to a hotel room unnoticed?
