as we arrived, they were people everywhere. people were running up to us, letting us know they had been shot. we started assessing people as quickly as possible, ambulances were still arriving, we were able to place people into specific ambulances, sometimes three to four patients at a time. trace: you said there were people getting into a truck and you had this rolling triage. talk about that. one of the first interactions we had was a pickup truck that came to our location and the entire truck bed was filled with people that had been shot. initially, i was acting as a paramedic, hopped in the back of the pickup truck, started assessing people as quickly as possible, started unloading the patient some at that point, we had several ambulances, getting each patient into an ambulance, like i said, sometimes three or four at a time. after that, i had to move into more of a coordination role as a situation grew. trace: my guess is a lot of the people in the back of the truck bed, a
trace. it will all unfold, but i am sure that the strategy right now is to do strategic interviews of her and maybe some other people in this case because there is somebody that law enforcement has that knows a lot of information that is supplying at its vital information about us why are they are taking it slowly and factually. trace: former assistant director to the fbi in new york, bill gavin. good to see you come a great insight. thank you, sir. trace, thank you so much. one quick thing, thank you for the way you have been reporting. you haven t stretched the imagination, you have been with the facts, and real credit to fox and the news industry in general. excellent job. trace: you are a very kind man. thank you, bill. i appreciate that. as las vegas fights to regain some sense of normalcy, a return to routine, larger questions begin to surface. why did stephen paddock choose to unlink a massacre on innocent people?
and it has been all neutral, what she has to say, supported by her sisters. what i think is very important in this, during the presser this afternoon with law enforcement and the fbi in particular, it is obvious to me that there is about 50% more facts that they know then are put out. i think they obviously have some individual who is very close to the whole situation, whether it be to danley or to the subject. in this particular case, they are giving them some concrete information. with that said, they now are able to prepare the questions through excellent interviewing skills and through profiles to ask the right questions of her for the future. i believe that there is a lot more that they know that they aren t saying and i absolutely agree with that technique of
hear the shots again, we have been talking to guests all week long, when they hear the shots again, it is very frightening, jolting. we don t need to do all to come of that is not our intent. we are showing the video to show you what we are talking about. it gives us an idea of what it felt like for you when you are taken aback by just hearing that all over again. does it bring back horrifying memories? yeah, it brought back multiple pictures of people i saw dropping to the floor and i saw a lot of things that i would never thought i would ever see in my life. it was terrifying. trace: what was the brightest moment, aaron? when you figured out that you were going to live, what was the brightest moment when you look back? the people helping each other, the heroes, people who knew they were injured but were just trying to survive? the moment of joy was seeing
were injured, so how do you assess that, how do you know someone who is badly injured but acts like they are fine because their bodies in shock? luckily, a lot of people has said it, they were people that were on injured that were able to tell us what some of the injuries were. with experience, you learn how to look at somebody and judgment from there. the initial assessment is what gets them into the ambulance and then the paramedics and emts did further assessments and treatments. we went at what point do you say, we have a call, all hands on deck, we got a call for everybody? we need help, all the help we can get. i think the realization came early on. like i said, the amount of people we were surrounded by and trying to help, the decision was made early on to get as many people as possible. at one point, we paged out to all of the off-duty crews that if they could respond, please, come to the station. in a matter of less than a half hour, we had over 160
