In las vegas. And there you see right there the response from s. W. A. T. Teams working this story. Now it is unclear if there is more than one shooter. Weve heard on our affiliates the possibility of two shooters. There was even talk of multiple. We have no confirmation of that at this point. Witnesses attending a music concert nearby say they heard multiple gunshots. Now were also learning, as natalie just mentioned, that flights in and out of Mccarron International airport have been halted, clearly to make sure if anyone linked to this shooting tries to get away. So there is no exit at this point. But the police are trying to control this situation. It is chaotic at this hour. It is terrifying for so many people who have relayed their eyewitness reports to us. Las vegas police are now confirming that one shooter is down. They have sent out a tweet indicating that. We had unconfirmed reports in the past hour that a shooter may have been dead in a hotel room. But there it is right the
it looked like somebody on the stage. we don t know who was performing, how many people were there. we don t really understand the venue yet and how this shooter might have had access to people, perhaps one would think an open air concert if they re shooting down from a hotel room. and, again, there is no confirmation whether there was one shooter or more shooters. and we certainly haven t heard about anyone being in custody. no, no, we haven t. and brian, as we talk to you, there had been an unconfirmed report of one suspect found dead in a room at mandalay bay. but, again, no confirmation of that. also, there was chatter of multiple sites with active shooters. no confirmation in that at all. and that is the problem in situations like this there is so little information. people are in shock. people are scared. they re worried. brian, brian heifner, thank you
they arrested anyone? we have had one report that a shooter was found dead in a hotel room. we also talked to an eyewitness, brian heifner, who was there in his hotel at the mandalay bay. and his understanding is there was this move towards bellagio, and police were heading that way, according to him. and this of course there were talks, there were reports. let s listen to our affiliate ksnv now and hear what s happening. we keep getting moved down the way here. we are just behind the mandalay convention center right by las vegas boulevard and i believe, if i step out over here, i can tell. i think we re just south of russell. and i am hearing that there are two homicide squads that are rolling. another two are on standby that is from a police source.
again there is so much that is not known. a lot that of is because we re relying on just some of these tweets coming from the police. earlier we spoke with a witness, brian heifner who is staying at a hotel across from mandalay bay. he told us what he was seeing and hearing. i didn t see much. mostly i heard the shots. just so many shots. i just thought it was a semi braking, with the air brakes. er but then i went downstairs and saw people running and looking for family. and i immediately went back to my room, locked the door, turned the lights off. directly at my window, you can see the mandalay bay, and it overlooks the concert venue. so i m pretty much staying in my room with the doors locked and the lights off. i m hearing that there is more shots going on at the bellagio right now. so this is all up and down the strip at all the hotels.
