No one speaks of this room, even though its likely that most of the actual op went down in this room.
We're missing 900 shells, and 14 long guns.
In 60 Minutes no one asks, no one speaks. Even tho one officer said they expected "50 more dudes"
They knew they had to breach 134. What was inside?

FL31134: Floyd Conrade, Kansas, Oct 5th
–I heard the first volley go off. Like everyone else says, it sounded like fireworks. It was about the third volley that it kicked in that it was something more than fireworks.
–About the third time, it was really loud, right above me. My assumption is that was when he went over to the other window. That’s when I started hearing the actual echoes. Echoed from the reports off the outside of the building, I guess. It was much louder, much more intense. I could actually hear debris hit my window.
Q: You think it was glass? Shells?
A: I couldn’t tell. I looked on the sill after the fact, but I couldn’t see anything. I could actually see the shadow of the curtain flapping in the breeze above me on Monday.
Q: How many bursts did you hear before the one that sounded right above you?
A: It was probably the third volley.
Q: How many more were there above you during the 10 minutes that he was shooting?
A: I know there was at least three, possibly four. There could have been more than that.
Q: So you believe he was alternating from one window to the next?
A: Yeah, yeah.
Q: Which one did he shoot from more?
A: I really don’t know.
Q: Would you remember if it was mostly one or the other?
A: I would think so. Seemed like he was going back and forth.
Q: Tell me about the waiting and wondering?
A: It was pretty well quiet after that, until they started breaching the room. There was an explosion-type noise. They used, like, a flash bang to breach the room. When they breached the 2135 room it was loud. When they breached the 134 room, it actually put me on the floor. It was really loud.
Q: It physically knocked you to the floor?
A: I was sitting on side of bed, and when it went off I hit the floor. I didn’t know what was happening. Then I could hear people upstairs moving around, and moving things around.
Q: Could you hear them talking?
A: No, not talking. I could hear, like, glass breakage noises, crashes. Like they were moving furniture around.

–Conrade, 50, noticed some debris hit his window as it plummeted toward the ground,
–After the gunfire stopped (midway), he decided to poke his head into the hallway, where he saw four or five armed officers, one of whom demanded he return to his room.
–The explosion above that signified officers breaching Paddock’s room startled Conrade more than the gunfire did.
–The gunfire was surprisingly quiet from within his room. The footsteps of investigators combing the room seemed loud. Glass crunched beneath their feet. The footfalls padded across his ceiling through the night. Conrade could tell their probe was intent, thorough.
–He didn’t sleep much that night. By 1:30 a.m. things seemed to have wound down. At about 4 a.m., a SWAT team came through his room.
