the mesquite police department. bottom line is stephen paddock is a quote, mystery to them. they have never had a single call, they tell me, for service to his home. they aren t even exactly clear at this point how long he had even lived in mesquite. they said he is a mystery to us because we ve simply had no reason to ever find out more about him. they are talking to neighbors of his there hoping that they can glean some information about him. they found no trace of any family members there. we have heard from a brother, of course. i believe that brother was in florida and he is just absolutely shocked that his brother, stephen paddock, would have carried out a massacre like this. up in mesquite they re doing their best to find out anything they can that might give us a clue to a motive. no dice so far. of course, there may be some
terror that it brought. and we see how wonderful the police are and the first responders that saved lives and continue to protect our citizens. bill: it s only 6:24 in the morning there and that city is waking up to a whole new world. bob, thank you for your commentary there, bob massey live from las vegas. stephen paddock, age 64, mesquite nevada, along the arizona border there, no derogatory information. that was the comment from the sheriff. meaning that there was very little, if any, illegal interactivity between police and this killer who took his own life as the swat team was bearing down on that room on the 32nd floor. they found 10 rifles inside the room and god knows how much ammunition. and the undersheriff told us 10 minutes ago he believes that he knocked the glass out of the window in order to get a line of sight on the 22,000 who were gathered 32 floors below. just chilling. unbelievable on the ground.
