Between checking in and last night . Were following up on that. There will be hours and hours of Video Surveillance well have to recall with the cooperation of the mgm. Sheriff, weve seen [ inaudible question ] your center upstairs where you keep. The fusion center. Correct. There are cameras everywhere practically every inch of the city covering the city indoors, outdoors. How could this happen . Well, i dont understand what youre alluding to, how could it happen. This is an individual that was described as a lone wolf. I dont know how it could have been prevented if we didnt have prior knowledge of this individual. It wasnt evident had he weapons in his room. We have determined there has been employees going to and fro from his room and nothing nefarious was noticed at this point. First responders were integral to stopping more deaths. Can you describe how strike teams were able to find the suspect . Well, yeah. Youre absolutely correct. Any special event that takes place in the Southern Nevada region its required by nrs to supply Police Officers to insure security. The man delay bay did a great job of hiring Police Officers. They had sufficient staffing for the concert. And when this individual decided to fire upon the crowd, which was approximately 22,000 individuals, its very difficult to manage that size crowd. And you have to ensure you have the proper staffing. As described, our officers responded immediately in conjunction with the Fire Department as soon as the Fire Department arrived, but they were able to identify where the weapon was being discharged from and proximity, its hard to tell what floor it is from the outside but once they gain entry into the hotel in conjunction with security and through phone calls from patrons, they were able to call it down to a possible floor. Once they made entry onto the hallway, they immediately knew what room was in question. Reporter theres reports about what exactly happened in the room when swat officers entered that maybe there was so much smoke from the shells the smoke alarms were going off. I dont know. I havent been told about any smoke learns. But i know that his he had killed himself. And exactly, well have to go through our body warrant camera and existing video whether we engaged him at the same approximate time or not. Reporter [ inaudible question ]. No, maam. I cant get into the mind of a psychopath at this point. Reporter sheriff, while the investigation is going on right now, how extensive is it and what are you talking about as far as while the ballistics and criminalists do their work . I believe weve got most of las vegas boulevard open. And directly adjacent to the mandalay it still remains closed. We will ensure we go out to the proper intersections to limit, the hindrance of traffic. Were looking at a minimum of 12 additional hours for documentation of the crime scene and the removal of the bodies. Do you know about how long do you know if there was never return fire from an officer on the ground anywhere . No, im not aware of any return fire nor am i aware of the time line. But we did have swat officers discharge weapons at the room location. Sheriff legal or illegally converted . Yes, the federal or the fbi and the atf is helping us with that aspect. Reporter deceased come from the hotel . Were they all in the concert or were any in the hotel area . Im not sure because we had people deceased and injured outside the videotape of the concert area. So it would be hard to determine or make that determination at this point. We are obviously going to have to talk to all those injured individuals to make that assessment. Reporter how many people injured were shot and how many injured while running away. I dont know. The people havedon displaced in five separate hospitals. Its going to require extensive review of that communication with them to determine that. So thank you very much. I appreciate everybodys time and i appreciate everybody here to the back of me and their support of our Police Department. And we will keep can you regularly updated. I cant give you an exact time line at this point but we will keep you informed as we receive information. Have a good day. Thank you. Brian williams with you in new york. Remarkable poise and grace on the part of Sheriff Joe Lombardo considering what has happened in his jurisdiction. Hes been up all night. Of course, part of his responsibility was reporting the worst possible news and numbers that he admits are still on the move. As of right now, 58 deceased, over 500 wounded from this mass shooting. This happened from a window. Perhaps you saw earlier the curtain fluttering from the broken window. 32 stories up at the mandalay bay casino. One of the southernmost casinos, one of the closest to mccarron airport in las vegas. Joe fryer has been standing by from a fuel floors up, six floors up from the shooting floor of the hotel. Joe, whats going on there right now . Reporter we can tell that you lockdown that has been at the hotel for about ten hours has been lifted now. We were actually staying here overnight. Technically were in a Four Seasons Hotel but here the four seasons basically makes up some of the top floors of this mandalay bay tower. We are on the 38th floor. The shooter was six flores below us on the 32nd floor. I was sleeping in a room across the hall. Initially i didnt hear any of the noise going on when the gunfire starred but our producer who was in this room, she was sleeping, she was woken up by it. At first she thought it might have had something to do with the concert going across the street which was very loud an noisy. Before long, she realized gunfire was happening. Testimony people enjoying this concert also thought it was fireworks before they realized what was happening. We want to show you the viewpoint. This is the 38th floor of the mandalay bay tower. Across the street over here, this is the concert venue where this route 91 Harvest Festival was taking place. In this space youre looking at right now, 22,000 people filled that block area. On the right side is where the stage is, where jason aldean was performing around 10 00 last night when gunfire broke out and the gunfire again was coming about six floors down from this angle youre looking at right now. You can see it is a birds eye view into that area which was packed shoulder shoulder with people who were enjoying the headline performer during this Big Country Music festival that drew people from all across the country. You can imagine the panic. People didnt know where the gunfire was coming from, in which direction they should run. Right now, youre seeing a pretty eerie scene for las vegas. This is the Las Vegas Strip. And right now, the only cars on it are basically police cars, Law Enforcement, maybe the occasional Emergency Responder and what were looking at right now is actually where the airport is. It is nearby by where the shooting took place. Apologies the sun is coming at us right now so it makes it hard to look out the window. The airport is fully operational. But for a period last night did stop functioning out of over abundance of precaution. Were looking outside of a window right now. This window does not open. The windows in this hotel do not open. There are no patios or balconies which means the window had to be broken. As you just heard from authorities they believe that the suspect used a hammer or Something Like a hammer to break the windows so he would be able to fire out. Brian . Its a ghoulish business but it bears repeating that shot you are showing us is the shot with a firearm on full automatic. Presumably with a sight but that green area, the large black looks like an inflatable area is the main stage. The vendor tents, vip tents off to the side. But you had thousands of people lit up open and exposed from 32 stories up. And what do we figure, close to a half mile across the street . Reporter yeah, weve heard stipulates of about 1700 feet or so from there. I mean, its basically just kitty corner from this complex. Were sort of on the edge of the hotel here. So its as close as you can probably get from this level to being near the festival if you were sort of farther off to the right in this hotel. The reach would be even farther to try and get into this area. Right now, weve been looking at the scene as daylight comes. Theres a few authorities wandering around. Its in the grassy areas where you might see bursts of color. Those appear to be lawn chairs or blankets or things where people were sitting in the grassy areas enjoying the concert. Obviously those items were left behind as people ran for recover. Joe fryer, thank you so much. And we get youre fighting sun glare. That illustrates the story as little of the coverage thus far has. We are joined live by telephone right now from with jolene bennett. She is from las vegas. She was at the concert, helped some of the injured along the way. Jolene, when did you realize what was happening . When i heard the pops and everybody started running. And we just took off and ran behind a bar. And thought we were trapped for a minute. People were climbing over the chain link fences. Then we realized there was an opening, ran around. Fortunately we had the car, our car was parked right across the street, the back parking lot from route 91. And we got to our car and as were driving, people are running, screaming, wanting in the car. We opened up the door. Three people jumped in the back. And then as we were trying to take off, we saw a lady ho had been shot and i opened the front seat and she climbed on my lap. She was bleeding just pouring blood out of her arm. Her artery where you get shot or not shots where they draw blood right and i could see the hole. And shes like i need something. I need something to, i knew to wrap the wrap her up. So i took my shirt off and i tied it. Like a tourniquet and held her arm up and just told her were going to get there. Were okay, were okay. We tried to get to we wanted to get to the hospital but we got trapped in the traffic and ended up at sundance helicopter. We then got her out of the vehicle, took her inside. I was just blood all over us screaming that i needed a doctor, somebody, an emt, someone. A lady came. We took her into the bathroom, laid her down. A guy took off the belt, his belt and tied it. We tied it, pulled it really tight around her arm. And the whole entire time this is going on, the popping from the guns never stopped. It was just a constant pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Then after we were in the bathroom for a little while, they transported us all into the warehouse in the back of this place and they kept us there for awhile. The ladys name was jody. I kept asking her, got her husbands number, trying to get ahold of him. Theyre from canada. Hes on his way out here now. Then they took us out the back of sundance, loaded us into like a little charter bus and took us over to the signature helicopter place where they kept us there until they said we could be released and walked down to as long as we headed south towards sunset. We got on a bus. It dropped us off at sunset and luckily i had parked my car at town square, got into our vehicle and we brought another girl with us. She was i have a daughter and so there was a young girl there that was probably like 22 and no one with her. And i said im not leaving you. You stay with me. Heres my phone. You get ahold of your mom. And we took her with us. Her mom picked her up from us at town square and then drove us to my car. And made it home. I just hope that jodies okay. What an unbelievable turn of events. So aside from the fact that youre doing triage and advanced first aid on someone you didnt know until she jumped into your car, youre also reaching the parent of a 22yearold who must have been beside herself. She was she was calm. She actually was doing really good. My friend was breaking down. I think i was in fight or flight mode. I didnt i was calm the entire time and just said okay. No, weve got to do this. This is what were doing this. Everythings okay. Were going to be okay, were going to be okay until i reached my home at about 2 30 in the morning and then broke down, looked at myself with blood all over me. And then it hit me. Yeah, im sure. And its going to sadly, its going to keep coming and probably going to hit everybody at different times and in different waves. Am i told correctly you were about halfway back from the stage and my other question is, was it clear to you what direction this was coming from . No, it seemed like all directions. You couldnt tell where anything was coming from. Even when we were in the warehouse and there was a point where they told us to be quiet, it hoochbl sounded like the shooter was right outside the warehouse. It just didnt stop. And the things you saw on your way out of that crowd, the people around you who had fallen like wounded and dead on a battlefield . I have to say that fortunately, i got out faster than the other people because of where we parked. And i didnt see that. But my heart goes out to all of those families. Jolene, its going to be a terrible day for you and a terrible couple of days and what a terrible time for your city. Jolene bennett, who was at the concert and like so many other people ended up springing into action and we think, we hope saving a life or two in the process. Jolene, thank you very much. Our correspondent katie beck is with us from mesquite, nevada. The closest weve come to getting a address on this suspects home. Katie, weve heard from the brother. Weve heard that the suspect apparently moved back to nevada after living in florida for a time. And thats about all we know. Reporter well, it seems that he was coming here to have a quiet life in retirement. This is a community that a lot of people come to to find peace and quiet. Lots of golfers and gamblers prefer it. It is just one hour from las vegas and it straddles the arizona, nevada line. As you can see behind me, theres a heavy Police Presence guarding that roadway there. That is the roadway to the suspects home where a search warrant is currently being executed. Police have been here through the night. There was some concern that that house might have had explosives in it. They evacuated the neighbors around that home. They cleared the home for any explosives and they have made entry. We heard from a Mesquite Police officer awhile ago who said the home appears to be completely normal. This is exactly what you would expect he said for a retirement home. Very tidy, neat, lived in. Nothing suspicious. He did admit there were firearms recovered from the home but said it was not a remarkable amount given the number of gun owners in this area and that everythinging there seemed to be pretty normal. We just saw a convoy of police cars heading into that area probably still collecting whatever evidence they can whether that be digital evidence, or physical evidence from that home to try and figure out what the motivation was behind this massacre. They really have very few answers at this point what the motivate this had crime. The neighbors around here are absolutely stunned. We just spoke to one man who said when he heard the news this morning, he and his wife instantly broke into tears just saying you know, this was something they could have never imagined that this person was in mayor midst and could have committed a crime of this magnitude. They couldnt imagine it. So there are a lot of affected neighbors sort of stunned, confused wandering around these corners. Wondering about the mystery how this person existed in their community. Was he planning it, did they know him . Was it somebody they had run into on the sidewalk. So these are the questions that neighbors are wrestling with at this point as Police Continue to search this home. And katie, quick for folks who arent familiar with las vegas, how many miles, whats the drive time from say the Las Vegas Strip out to mesquite . Reporter its about 70 miles south. So its a very quick drive. It doesnt take any time at all. And we were told by his brother that this gunman actually was a pfaff gambling which was part of the reason why he relocated here. In 2015, he purchased a twostory Single Family home here. A fairly new development here. Its a lot of newer homes. Still several under construction in the community. So he hasnt lived here all that long but this was by all means a very quiet area, not somewhere where you would expect anything like this to be brewing. Katie beck in this town. Were going to be hearing so much about it in the coming days. Thank you. We want to bring in two of our best Law Enforcement analysts joining us in new york. Brill brat tin, former commissioner of the nypd, a counterterrorism analyst and the executive chairman of tenao risk. Did i get that right . Shawn henry is the former executive assistant director of the fbi. An nbc news contributor and president and chief Security Officer of crowd strike services. Welcome to you both. Commissioner, i have so many questions for you. One of the questions at the News Conference from a reporter to the sheriff, how could this have happened . And the sheriff i thought correctly answered Something Like how could we have stopped this from happening. When you check in to a hotel, you could have a trunk, a case, a garment bag. Youre allowed to have gun cases. Theres a big gun show coming october 7th and 8th in las vegas. How do you stop Something Like this . The reality is you cannot. Weve been very fortunate since 9 11 in the area of terrorism by our director from overseas who have stopped many events. But the reality is this could happen anywhere in america at any time. Thats weaponry is available. 80 of these incidents are usually committed by people who have significant mental issues. Well have to see what this gentlemans circumstances were. But the reality is that as much as you focus on trying to prevent, clearly what happened here in las vegas that the incredible training that the Las Vegas Police department has obviously gone through that helped them respond so quickly and as much as the carnage was that were seeing here, 5 dead, 500 injury fundamental they had not gotten up there as quickly as they had, it might have copied even worse. Lets talk about the forensics. People who have
