Involved in the investigation. As of about 90 minutes ago, investigators legitimately had no idea why Stephen Paddock committed mass murder. He did not seem religious. He didnt seem political. Thats true. The crime still makes no sense at all to the people looking into it. And that may be the scariest part of all. Now, all of that could change at any minute, of course. As we said, we are waiting for investigators to begin that News Conference in las vegas. It is possible they will reveal new evidence then. We will go to that, obviously, when it begins. A few minutes ago we received the very first statement from the shooters girlfriend recently arrived back in the u. S. From abroad. We will play that for you in just a minute. In the meantime though we want to show you a new tape we have received. It doesnt answer why this happened, but it does provide some context for what it was likes a it was happening. Here is footage from Police Body Cams taken on sunday night. [gunfire] [rapid gunf
