Thanks so much for being with me. None of us know the answer to the key question of why, why did sprod decide to commit mass murder . Now we know he originally wanted to survive this. Police say he had an escape plan and that the letter they found inside his hotel room wasnt a suicide note. Police say the gunman stockpiled his arsenal for months and months, 50 pounds of explosives and 1600 rounds of ammunition, and that was just found in his car in the Hotel Parking lot. Meantime, his girlfriend tells the fbi she had no clue of his murderous plan, but police insist he couldnt have possibly pulled this off by himself. You look at the obtaining, the different amounts of tannerite available. Do you think this was all accomplished on his own . Self value, face value, you have to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point. We just heard from First Responders who revealed the chilling confusion as they tried to figure out what was going on. If youve efr had an opportunity to sit on a call takers panel and listen to a citizen, another person in shear terror for their life, those men and women, that dispatch office did a phenomenal job. They sat in one building and handled the phone calls because they handled the business, got people to where they needed to be, handled the resource requests of us as a Fire Department and chief officers looking for our help. I have to a plod them. As far as the reports of the other hotels, that complicates the matter. We know weve got a lot of things going on here in the immediate area around that concert venue, when you get a 911 call saying weve got shots fired at cesars palace or at a hotel as far away as spring mountain, that complicates our response. What is going on in our town . Is this a single event or are we under a mumbai style attack where weve got multiple things going on at multiple properties. We had to handle that. That confusion can be seen in this new video taken by a city worker showing terrified concert goers trying to escape. Get down. Get the [ bleep ]. Those are shots. Run. Those are shots. Run dont walk run go dlaim go everybody go. Keep your head down. Go run, keep your head down this is what the scene of terror looks like today, these aerials showing everything that was left behind, this area stroon with abandoned belongings still a crime scene. Lets get straight to brian todd live at the scene. Brian, what are you learning about the possible plans to target other music events . Reporter brooke, we learned this last night from sheriff joe lombardo. Police telling us that Stephen Paddock rented a room at the ogden condominium the same weekend as the life is beautiful music festival, the condominium overlooks the concert venue. That is the weekend of september 23rd. Its not clear where paddocks room was in the ogden condominium. We do know that condominium is right in the area where that concert venue was. We also have information from chicago, from a spokeswoman for the Blackstone Hotel in chicago that a person matching the name Stephen Paddock rented a room, reserved a room at the Blackstone Hotel in chicago. That Blackstone Hotel overlooks grant park where the lollapalooza festival buzz to take place in august. The spokes would monday say its not if it is the same Stephen Paddock as the las vegas gunman, and the person never checked into the room. So that is what we have now as far as what we think may have been some of the planning for e e other events. He rented a room at the ogden hotel a week before the shooting in las vegas and he had a room basically that could have been overlooking that concert venue here in las vegas. Makes you wonder how many different music events perhaps he thought about and if this actually has nothing to do with Country Music and about vegas. Were left wondering for now. Brian todd, thank you so much. Were also getting a clearer look of exactly how if timeline of events unfolded. Let me walk you through this. It was 10 05 p. M. When he fired the first shots, 10 12, two Las Vegas Police officers makes it to the 31st floor. One radios he can hear automatic fire coming from the floor above them. 10 z 15 he fires his final shot recorded on an officers body cam. Get down, get down [ bleep ]. Where are you . Where are you . Go, go. Then at 10 17 p. M. , the two officers arrive on his 32nd floor. The officers and the First Strike Team reached the 32nd floor within 12 minutes which is phenomenal, of the first shot being fired. When the officers arrived and confirmed the location of the suspects room, the gunfire had stopped. Police say from 10 k6 to 10 30, eight more officers arrive on the 32nd floor and moved down the hall, clearing the rooms along the way. Then at 11 20 p. M. , s. W. A. T. Officers used explosives to breach his suite, and inside is where they find him inside on the floor dead. All told, it took 75 minutes from the start of the shooting until officers breached the room and found his body. Chris carol is with me, retired lieutenant las vegas met toll tan Police Department and matthew florez, former atf executive. Thank you for being with me. Chris, on the news from chicago, we dont know if its the same guy, in the hotel that overlooked where lol palazzo would have been, the fact that he cased out the other venue, life is beautiful in las vegas. If youre police, are you casting a wide net over music venues of the last year trying to figure out motive . I cant hear you . Is it just me . Matt, did you hear my question . Can you answer that while we work on chriss audio . I think its very clear that the suspect here had method and he had motive. He also with those had it transcended distance and geography. Investigators are going back now and checking credit card receipts and social media, and through that and banking records theyll determine where in the United States where hes been, what hes charged and where he stayed for how long. Were also learning the shooter was planning this escape. So many people thought theres no way he could have thought hed escape this sort of scene. Investigators arent giving much details. A letter or some note was left in a hotel room. Not a suicide note. Just, matt, staying with you because i dont know if chris heard my full question. What do you think leads investigators to think iing he would had to have had help. Two schools of thought number one. Sorry, audio fun on live television. Chris, if you heard me, lets take turn. Chris, go for it. As i heard your last question, theyre wondering about him having help. Sheriff lombardo has said that there are things that lead them to believe that there was help. At this point we dont know what capacity that was. Off speculation, i would think it has something to do with getting all his guns and ammunition up from the ground to his hotel room in a relatively short period of time. You dont think he could have done that by himself over the course of a couple days with some suitcases . I think he could have done it by himself, yes. But obviously something new has come to light. Maybe its video. Maybe theyve talked to somebody. But there is information out there now and i believe the sheriff said its only a possibility. But something has come up where there appears to show that there may be somebody else involved as well. Matthew, there was also in his car the Ammonium Nitrate found there. A subsequent search shows 50 pounds of other explosive material, tannerite. Does that signal to you that he had, how shall i say this, bigger plans . Clearly he may have had bigger plans. But then when you incorporate the fact that police think did he also plan to escape, he was dealing in some level of delusion as well. This was a well calculated plan and exactly what happened, he was not going to make it out of that room alive. So you can be Everything Else were haerlg, though, very meticulous in the plan and the accrual of the 33 rifles over the course of the year, you can be delusional and meticulous at the same time . Absolutely. We see it all the time. The best laid plans of criminals always fall apart at the end. Chris, the girlfriend. Lets talk about the girlfriend. Shes back from asia, questioned by authorities in los angeles. She released a statement visavis her attorney saying she didnt see any signs that he was planning any violence. The sheriff said he thinks he had help in carrying this out. No concrete evidenced of that yet. She said she thought she was being september away because he was breaking up with her. She said she saw nothing, new nothing. Thats certainly possible. It is possible because hes accumulated these guns and ammunition over a period of yea years. Its not like all of a sudden you see a guy who buys thousands of rounds of ammunition. We know it was his girlfriend, but i dont know how close they were, if they lived together, how frequently they see each other. Its certainly a possibility that she was sent out of the country so that he could carry this plan out without her getting in the way or calling police. Quickly, the ak queueing of all the rifles in multiple locations, can you hide all of that from someone potentially. Go ahead, chris. It doesnt need to be hidden where she cant see it. He probably has gun saves and so forth with the equipment in there that she knows its there. But it may just be his collection. This has gone on over years. Just because he had that many guns and that much ammunition doesnt mean it was necessarily a red flag to her because shes seen this over years. Chris carol and matthew hora horace, thank you so much on the investigation piece of this. Next well pivot back to our breaking news out of the white house. The line from Sarah Sanders was theyre open to the conversation on banning those bump stock devices that the shooter may have used.

Las vegas helped to make his name. Now wayne newton, mr. Las vegas himself, is trying to help the city heal. The legendary entertainer has been consoling a number of the survivors this week. He insists las vegas will not be defind by what happened. Wayne newton joins me live from las vegas. It is so nice to see you again though im so sorry about the circumstances. Thank you, brooke. I, too, am so sorry about the circumstances. Nice to talk to you again. Thank you. Its my understanding youve talked to a number of survivors of sundays shooting. Can you tell me a little bit what that was like for you and what they shared with you . Well, what it was like for me, im still numb from it as i think most las vegans are. How does one explain that kind of evil happening . As far as the people who have been injured, those families that have lost a loved one here, the thing that remains constant is the first thing that they bring up in the conversation, is how immediate the First Responders were in terms of what they would have expected, how they and other members of this community actually citizens from all over the world that were at that concert certainly started to run and then turn back to help those that were less fortunate, having been affected by the gunshots and those kind of things. So they were just talking about the kind of kindness and dedication that the sit sents of las vegas have. Wayne, where were you late sunday night, and how did you hear . Itches coming back from texas. I had gone there for a show, a benefit show with a dear friend of mine. We had just landed in los angeles because i had meetings within morning in l. A. I went to bed. My wife couldnt sleep, so she got up and turned on the television and awakened me, and we watched the coverage literally until we could charter a plane and get back home. We got back home early monday morning. Were learning a bit about the shooter in terms of how meticulous he was, how many dozens of rifles he bought, the fact that apparently he cased out the life is beautiful music fest in las vegas. Whats your reaction to all of that . Well, i believe that anyone thats that evil will find evil deeds to do. And this fruit cake was no exception. This could have happened anywhere in the world, and my fear, frankly now, is not necessarily about our city because we will recover from this, we stay strong and we stay committed and we do everything we can to help. But this kind of foer thought and things he went through to plan this become kind of a copycat thing i think throughout the world. How can one even for a second think of somebody jumping in a truck and driving down the French Riviera and killing people . I know. They are in a mindset to do that theres no way to stop them. A special place in hell, a special place in hefl. A special place in hell. Hes got a seat waiting for him. People may not realize this about you, but you, wayne newton, grew up in Country Music. Your first performances were actually at opry shows. Are you at all in touch with those circles and hearing any sort of shift in conversation as the conversation has gone there . We were listening at a White House Press briefing to gun control. Do you think people at all in those circles are changing their minds on guns . I wouldnt know about that in terms of the Country Musicians and performers i have talked to. They were devastated by it, but the Country Community are really some of the most dedicated americans that we have in our country. As far as leading it into a political issue like gun control or any of that kind of thing, we did not discuss that. But the one thing that i know is that any person of the sort that has a mindset to do Something Like that, if its a gun, if its a truck, if its an airpla airplane, if its a bomb, they do it. Im not sure where all that will lead, but i hope it will be positive. Lastly, sir, you donated 100,000 to the victims fund. You performed two days after the shootings. It would have been understandable for you to cancel the show, but its really important to you that the show went on. Tell me why. Ill tell you why. Because if god has given us as performers any talent at all, it is to be used in times like this to lift peoples spirits, to make them smile again maybe, to make them forget the kind of evil that went on here last sunday. I believe that we as performers have that responsibility. We took a night off, as did a lot of performers in this town, to show our respect. But then i think it was really important that we get back to what we do, and that is to try to bring a modicum of happiness to peoples lives, even if its just for two hours. We need it. Las vegas needs. It mr. Wayne newton, bless you, thank you for raising your voice. God bless you. Thank you very much, brooke. Just in to cnn, final report of the use of private planes by the u. S.
