No, well have hours and hours of Surveillance Video to watch with mgm. [inaudible] the cameras are everywhere, practically everywhere. How did this happen . Well, i dont understand what youre eluding to, how could it happen . This is a individual described as a lone wolf. I dont know how it could have been prevented if he didnt have any knowledge. It wasnt evident he had weapons in his room. We have determined that there has been employees going to and fro from his room, and nothing nefarious was noticed. At this point, thats what we know now. First responders are integral to stopping more deaths. Can you describe how you were able to find the suspect . Youre absolutely correct. So any special event that takes place in the Southern Nevada region is required by nrs to supply Police Officers to ensure security. The mandalay bay did a great job of hiring Police Officers. They had sufficient staffing for the concert. And when this individual decided to fire upon the crowd, which was approximately 22,000 individuals, its very difficult to manage that size crowd. You have to have the proper staffing. As described, our officers responded immediately in Congress Junction with the Fire Department, as soon as the Fire Department arrived, but they were able to identify where the weapon was being discharged from in a proximity. Its hard to tell what floor it is from the outside, but once they gain entry into the hotel in Congress Junction with security and through phone calls from patron, they were able to cull it down to a possible floor. Once they made entry onto the hallway, they immediately knew what room was in question. There are reports about what exactly happened in the room when squad officers entered, that maybe there was so much smoke from the shells the smoke alarms were going off is. There any truth to that . I havent been told about any smoke alarm, but he had killed himself. Well have to go through our body camera and existing video whether we engaged him at the same proximate time or not. Sir, you said you didnt believe this was connected to isis. Do you have any motive what we could be looking at . No, maam, i cant get into the mind of a psychopath at this point. Sheriff, on the investigation thats going on right now, at the site of the shooting, how extensive is it and what are you talking about as far as what will be shut down while the ballistics do their work . We have most of las vegas boulevard open. Directly adjacent to the mandalay remains closed. Well ensure we go out to the proper intersections to limit the hindrance of traffic, but were looking at a minimum of 12 additional hours for documentation of the crime scene and the removal of the bodies. Do you know about how long he was able to shoot for, and do you know if there was any return fire from officers on the ground in any way . New york im in the aware of any return fire, nor am i aware of the time line, but we did have swat officers discharge weapons at the room location. Do you know if these were legally or illegally converted . F. B. I. And a. T. F. Is helping us with that aspect. Were the deaths all from the concert, or were there any in the hotel . Im not sure. We had people deceased outside the concert area, but it would be hard to make that determination. We have to talk to all those injured individuals to make that assessment. How many people who were injured were shot and how many were injured when. I dont know. People have been displaced in five separate hospitals. It will require expensive review of that communecation with them to determine that. Thank you very much. I appreciate everybodys time, and i appreciate everybody here to the back of me and their support of our police department, and we will keep you regularly updated. I cant give you an exact time line at this point, but we will keep you inform as we receive information. Have a great day. Thank you. That was the same News Conference from sheriff ernie lombardi.
