Vegas casinos. Places tens of thousands of Dollars Worth of bets in recent weeks. But why he did this, they simply have no clue. They know he has been acquiring weapons over the past several months. He has bought at gun stores in nevada, possibly outside the state as well. That part of nevada he is from, mesquite, is right on the border. So he could go to other states to try to buy weapons and have them sent back to the gun dealers in nevada 20 do it legally. But The Big Question here is how did he acquire automatic weapons. Youve heard the sounds on the videos of these rapid shots. Machine guns are illegal in the u. S. But its possible to buy conventional semiautomatic weapons, meaning they fire every time you pull the trigger, but just one round and convert them. But that Conversion Process can make the weapons illegal. So the authorities are trying to figure out how he managed to get

Involved in the investigation. As of about 90 minutes ago, investigators legitimately had no idea why Stephen Paddock committed mass murder. He did not seem religious. He didnt seem political. Thats true. The crime still makes no sense at all to the people looking into it. And that may be the scariest part of all. Now, all of that could change at any minute, of course. As we said, we are waiting for investigators to begin that News Conference in las vegas. It is possible they will reveal new evidence then. We will go to that, obviously, when it begins.

Now, you got to imagine, were dispersed across several hospitals, relying on intelligent communication of the hospitals to provide us accurate numbers so thats ever changing. In Addition Hospitals received patients outside of this event. So quite often, or hopefully not quite often, but often some of those patients were double counted or misconstrued as event
injuries versus other injuries such as car accidents. So today im comfortable in saying the injured number is 489. Deaths still remain at 59. I told you 59 before, plus one, about suspect, that changed. Today its 58

How long can you [ inaudible ] we will see what happens with iran. We are very unhappy with iran. They havent treated us with the kind of respect they should have been treating.
