our community, international tourist destination. we are a target and we know that. an example of that is placing the deputy chief over that responsibility to integrate and make sure that we are tied in and we are doing the right things of the hotels and doing the right things about law enforcement partners. yes, sir, . [indistinct question] we had called from standing in the middle of the street, you could look up and see the alarms going off in the building. we made a phone call over there and said do you have a fire? didn t have anybody to send at that point in time. we had nobody available dissent. that was closed. because our fire alarm office and their professionalism and their dedication were immediately able to ping over to mandalay bay and came right back and said it s a result of police activity. we knew we didn t have a fire, but the alarms to go off at the hotel. 32nd floor, usually a group of three or four. i can t speak exactly.
doing the right things with hotels and law enforcement partners. we had calls from standing in the middle of the street. you can see the alarms going off in the building. we said did you have a fire. we had nobody available to send. we would have to bring them in from a long way away. the fire alarm office and the dedtation, they were able to ping over to mandalay bay and it s as i result of police activity. the alarms did go off at the hotel. 32nd floor. they are in a group of three or four. the house fires and [inaudible]. . that s a very good question.
this event. with this incident. the challenges we had were how complicated things are with where the venue was and how the people immediately and rightfully so began to extract themselves from the danger area. we had more than 32 reports of gunshot victims coming into our fire alarm office which created 32 separate incidents instead of a main one. that s common because they are getting calls and this person is shot here and there. it took time to say this is all under one incident. we had 32 numbers tied to this and we are trying to crush the data into a usable format. we also had reports of people who show up in hotels like caesar s palace where they were shot. by the time that information got relayed to responders, there was a shooter at this location. there was not a shooter, just someone who was shot that showed up at that location.
