[ inaudible ] no, i cannot. Thank you very much. Well do regular briefings and evaluate as we come forward. Thank you. Well recap. You were listening to sheriff joe lombardo, the Clark County Sheriff who briefed reporters on what theyve learned. A lot of information coming out both about what took place and where the investigation is going. We want to start with what he told us. Perhaps most notable, the number of fatalities and injured in the last hour. Obviously being reevaluated. Initially reporting two People Killed and 24 injured. Now according to the sheriff, hes saying in order of 20plus individuals killed. 100plus more injured. That is according to the sheriff of clark county. What he was able to describe, there were multiple reports of gunfire coming from the direction of the Mandalay Bay Hotel in the direction of a Music Festival taking place on the eastern part of the las vegas strip. Officers responded to where they believed the shooter was located on the 32nd floor of the hotel. They engaged the suspect. As we understand it, the suspect was killed. They describe the man as a local resident of las vegas. Not giving any more information as to his identity, his motivation, other than to say that he was a local resident of las vegas. Interestingly enough, theyre talking about who they are looking for. Theyve identified an asian woman, according to the sheriff. Marilou danley, 411. Theyve identified two vehicles that they believe were registered to the gunman and are no in pursuit of. They are and are now in pursuit of. They are asking for help, anyone who may have seen the vehicles, to contact police. They are working with officials from the red cross to try to help families looking for loved ones who may have been in the area or at the concert. Theyve set up a family reconnection hotline. The number will be provided. Also theyre calling for folks who may have had cell phone video and others to provide that to police as they continue the investigation. The headline, over 20 people dead. Over 100 people injured as a result of that shooting that took place in las vegas this evening. And the sheriff warning everybody to wanting everybody to recognize and understand that the investigation is very much ongoing. There are reports on line, he said, that this could be a multiple shooter situation, explosions going off in the las vegas strip. He reiterated that that is not happening. The suspect has been neutralized. He is dead. However, they are looking for the asian female, marilou danley, 411. We want to listen to video where you hear the multiple gunshots spraying over the concert crowd. Lets take a listen to that. [ all talking at once ] [ gunfire ] [ screams ] what was that . What is it . I dont know. From this Vantage Point, people wondering what it was, witnesses saying they saw muzzle flashes coming from the building. The shooter was on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay resort outside the perimeter of the concert happening there on the las vegas strip. Pete williams is in washington, d. C. , and just joining us. What are you hearing from your Vantage Point having just listened in to the press conference from the sheriff there . Reporter the information that ive gotten from the federal authorities ive talked to and obviously theyre at this point in support of the las vegas police, is that they dont know the motive yet either. That will take time. They know the name of the suspect but arent releasing it. We know names but havent confirmed them. The effort is to search the mans house. Police saying the shots were fired by a local suspect. Police getting search warrants to search his house. They know what cars are registered to him, and theyre asking people to help find those cars they have nevada plates and gave the make and model, didnt give the year, recent model presumably. They know the cars because they know the suspect and know the cars that are registered to the suspe suspect. They have asked assistance in looking for the woman who was his roommate or companion, as Police Called it. Theyve identified her. Marilou danley, 411. They say the shooting came from the floor with 43 floors. They were not at the top of the hotel but up in the upper floors of the hotel. The police saying the number of People Killed was going to be very high, 20plus, police say. 100plus injured. From what weve heard from the video and others and hearing from witnesses, they say it sounded like automatic fire from the rifles. Police believe only a Single Person fired all these shots. Spraying automatic weapons fire from the 32nd floor down on the concertgoers across the street. Stand by. We have the man on the phone who shot the video that weve been showing throughout the night. The video there was people running away, hearing the gunfire spray over the concert. Vincent, do i have you . Yeah, you have me here. How are you doing . Good. It was a scary situation. Didnt think it was real until you see people running and the fear they were in. Yeah. Tell me, what was it like you were there, you shot the video. What it was like when you first heard the voshots . Sounded like fireworks. Im a local and do events. I thought honestly from the smell and it smelled like a pyrotechnic, i thought they messed up, like they were going to shoot fireworks and were misfiring, and then it stopped and went again. Then it started getting louder and you saw people screaming. You saw jason aldean start running off the stage. And from the front where we were at where the studio was, you saw people running, you saw a body on the floor. People started running. It was hectic. What was going through your point when you saw that body on the floor, going from listening to jason aldean to seeing a body on the floor in your hometown of las vegas, a place you likely feel safe walking every single day . Caller its a mind freak because you think youre safe. An amazing concert, great time. That somebody could do this, its mindblowing. Theres obviously people there drinking, running around. Some people thinking, you know, saying one thing, everyone was hiding and diving under bleachers. We were pretty much running and ducking. You heard gunshots, everyone told to get down. We hid in the concession stands. And then they orchestrated everybody to mgm, and then after mgm, it was on lockdown, and everybody saying, you know, everything. We were at mgm, and people started running at the bar. It was crazy. If i can, i wanted to ask you to help us. We have the video you shot playing on part of the screen. I wonder if you can put in context where you were in relation to the shooting when it started. I assume everyone was facing the stage. Did the shooting come from behind you . Put it in context. It came to the right of us. If you were facing the stage, we were to the right of it. We were standing at where the shooting was at mandalay bay. To get to the concert venue, did you pass through security . Was there a Police Presence where you were outside at the time . Caller yeah, theres security out there. They would wand you, search you. They were smart at that end. That was to get into the venue, right . Caller correct. What about after this took place, did authorities at all descend on the concert . Was anybody there trying to direct you in any direction, or was it a freeforall . People running to get out . Caller to be honest, a little bit of both. The staff at route 91, you got to give them credit. For people just hired for them, for that one event, for them to stay calm and orchestrate what they were doing was trying to orchestrate getting people help in the right way. It was a freeforall already. And people were directing people at that point at mgm. How long was the ordeal from the moment you realized your life was in danger from when the shooting began to when you felt safe and secure . Caller i just started feeling safe and secure now since im off location. Were you there alone or with friends . Is everyone that you know all right . Caller yeah, everyones all right. We did have a mutual friend who, unfortunately, got hit. Hes safe. I guess hes getting treatment. I havent been updated on that. Thank god. The. Caller the people we were with are safe at the moment. Im a local here. I mean, ive got somewhere to go. I know how to get in and out of hotels. We werent a sitting target. We ran out the back at cobalt and had a car. I feel bad for everyone visiting or who has nowhere to go. Its stranded. For your situation, we are happy your friend is all right and doing well. That everyone is safe and accounted for. Caller yeah, peace of minds. Crazy that it happens. Its going on, what the people who are visiting imagine if you came to visit, you cant go to your hotel. Its a messed up time. Why did you decide to get it on your phone . Caller in this day and age, you hold up your phone and be safe to document this. At first i thought it was fireworks. You hold it up, you dont think of these things. Youre kind of in the moment. Let me ask in terms of im sure you were aware of the incidents earlier this year overseas in europe and at the concert in manchester. Did the thought of that weigh in on your decision . Is safety and security something you took into picture . Caller no, not at all. I love country music. I took off for the weekend i had none of that on my mind that, you know, Something Like this could happen. This isnt that kind of thing i would feel. Yeah. And there was i wanted to bring to your attention, the police were asking for anyone who may have had cell phone video to provide that to police. Certainly you have video that weve been playing throughout the course of the night that obviously makes clear the sound of gunshots. Were obviously very relieved to have you with us. And its a difficult time for anyone who attended that. Our thoughts and mares are with you and everyone in the area. We wish your friend a speedy recovery, as well. Thank you. Caller youre welcome. We want to go to audio of a 911 call right after the shooting. Pretty frantic stuff. Shooting coming from upstairs at mandalay bay. Upstairs mandalay bay halfway up. I seen the shots coming from mandalay bay. We have multiple casualties, gsws. A multiple kit repeat. Be advised it is automatic fire, fully automatic fire from an elevated position. Take cover . Multiple gsws to the chest, legs, femoral arteries, have a medical kit. Off of gyle south of reno. You were listening there to the broadcast of multiple 911 calls. You hear the dispatch reporting multiple gsws, short for gunshot wounds, coming from the top floors or elevated floors of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. We have with us joe fryer who has a Vantage Point overlooking the area of las vegas. Hes been looking over that Vantage Point for the past several hours. Give us a quick update in terms of how its playing out now that police have confirmed that the shooting situation has has ended with the killing of the suspect. Reporter yeah. As we heard, the police, the sheriff saying earlier he wants people who have been told to shelter in place to remain in place. Weve been on lockdown to tell you where we are. And now that weve heard the conference, we know how close we were to the scene. Were in the mandalay bay tower. It is in the mandalay bay towers. Were on the 38th floor. The shooting suspect was on the 32nd floor of mandalay bay. We dont know where along here it happened. We can tell you where we are, 38th floor, the windows do not open at least where we are in this room. Thats pretty much the scene from the upper levels throughout las vegas. We want to show you the Vantage Point from where we are at the 38th floor. I want to turn off the light and get rid of the reflection so you can see here at night. Across the street kitty corner, that is where the concert was taking place. The route 91, country Music Festival. Its dark now, but it was parked with thousands of fans listening to jason aldean singing at the time. Hes safe. This is where all of those people were. We have a general idea of the Vantage Point. Were on the 38th floor from the mandalay bay tower looking across where the concert was. It gives a vague idea of the shooters perspective coming from the mandalay bay tower on the 32nd floor. Police engaged the suspect from the 32nd floor and were able to shoot him dead from here. We can tell you, we dont want to give away too much information, but theres been a heavy Police Presence in our building where weve been throughout the night. Initially when we heard about the shots, we called down to the hotel front desk. They told us the hotel was in a lockdown. Weve sheltered in place ever since that time. Were looking across the strip. Of course, mandalay bay on one end of the strip. Looking up toward the heart of las vegas. If youre looking on the street actually, looking down, you see some buses. There are three buses in a row that are pulling through. Those are the first nonemergency vehicles weve seen in some time. Police blocked all of the intersections to make sure no more cars were coming into the area. Weve seen a lot of Police Vehicles and ambulances that flooded the area. And it was their job to try and get everyone to hospitals. Youre at the four seasons on the 38th floor. So everybody can get a perspective, if they dont know what the mandalay bay resort looks like, how many towers of the mandalay bay resort are there that this shooter could have been in . We know he was on the 32nd floor but not which tower he was in. How many towers is there a possibility he could have been in . Reporter mandalay bay is more like an x with wings to it. We dont know which wing he was in. We want to make that clear. Theres a tower nearby, but were in the mandalay bay tower. There are wings, we dont know where he was. Its almost an x shape. Joe fryer live on the one of the elevated floors of mandalay bay above the floor that police say where the shooter was on the 32nd floor below. We have all of our affiliates and stations joining us throughout our coverage this hour. We will take a break and recap at the top of the hour. We learned everything from the Clark County Sheriff who spoke as well as the Eyewitness News accounts and our reporters on the ground. We have been speaking to pete williams, our justice correspondent, whos confirmed that the fbi is now assisting in the investigation as they continue to look for a person of interest, a person theyve described as the companion of the shooter responsible for the killing. The death toll stands at least at 20, could be more. We have reports that 100 people injured. A deadly situation continuing to unfold here by the minute. And were not going to take a break. We want to continue coverage of whats happening in las vegas, for people just joining us. I want to show people some more video that we have of a witness that was at the concert. Well listen and go to Steve Patterson standing by. [ gunfire ] unbelievable. Goosebumps hearing that. Really tragic. We heard that put that next to the video we heard earlier from vincent who we spoke to. This is date Vantage Point. Youre hearing the concert, hearing jason aldean singing. Listening to music and hearing shots ringing out, not knowing exactly what is happening. Is it fireworks, what is it . And turning out its tick gunfire at a con automatic gunfire at a concert. 20plus people dead. Confirmed 100plus people injured. Wow. Terrifying even to hear it from her here and we werent there. Imagine being a witness. Steve patterson has been covering this with us all morning. Do i have you . Reporter you have me. I can hear you. We were listening to the sheriff going over everything. Bring us up to date. Reporter from the ground we continue to have a stream of people who were at the venue at the time of the shooting. One woman wandered out probably about 20 minutes ago while the press conference was happening. She didnt know where to go. She was there as the shooting was taking place. She described the automatic gunfire describing first as so many described it, as a series of gunfire going off and raise e realized it was automatic gunfire raining down from an elevated position. She said there were bodies littered around where she was everywhere. A heartbreaking account. She said there was a body on top of her and played dead and tried to rush off. So many people rushed to the strip where there was panic from the gunfire that was happening. Police tried to push those folks as far away as possible felt weve had complete lockdown, police blockading this area and on foot going from residents in building and casino to push people out and keep this area safe. Back to you. Steve patterson, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you very much for covering this for us the last couple of hours very much. We want to pause as the nbc networks will rejoin us.
