According to TMZ,
Stephen Paddock had his sights set on
Lollapalooza in Chicago and even booked 2
rooms in a hotel that overlooked the massive
outdoor venue . .. TMZ has learned .
Check out this pic of a computer screen at the Blackstone
Hotel in Chicago, located across the street from the venue ,
Grant Park , where 400, 000 people - - including Malia Obama
- - squeezed in over 4 days to watch big musical acts.
Paddock booked one room for August 1 , 2017, 2 days
before the August 3 kickoff. Paddock then booked a second
room for an August 3 arrival . Both rooms had an August 6
checkout . . that's when Lollapalooza ended.
The hotel directly overlooked the main stage as well as
several adjoining stages . It also overlooks the main
entrance and exit where thousands of people file through .
And the hotel had a bird 's - eye view of the crowd. We 're told
Paddock specifically requested both rooms be a " view
room " which only face Grant Park, where the concert was
being held. And here 's the scariest part ... it' s difficult if not
impossible to flee because of Lake Michigan. Sources tell
TMZ Paddock had never booked a room at the hotel
before, nor had his girlfriend .
Our sources say Paddock never showed.
If his plan was to wreak havoc on Lollapalooza the way he
did 2 months later in Vegas , it shows the murderous plot
was long- standing .
