has just happened. at least 50 people are dead. more than 200 injured after a gunman opened fire at an outdoor country music festival on the las vegas strip. concert is goers captured all of the terror on their cell phones as these hundreds of gunshots rang out from what sounds like an automatic weapon. here's just a moment. there's been a lot of developments in the past hour. he's what we know from the sheriff. the sheriff confirms that the suspect is dead. the shooter was identified as a 64-year-old man, a las vegas resident. he had a female companion or

roommate. they were looking for her for awhile because she was deem ed person of interest. she's been located along with two vehicles that hopefully all of that together can can provide police some threads into this investigation. >> this is the route 91 harvest festival right across the street from the hotel. this was the fourth day, the final act. jason aldean, two-time country music performer of the year on stage finishing up his act. the shooting went on and on and on. you can see the thousands of spectators just running for their lives. president trump did offer his condolences in a tweet. he thanked the first responders for their bravery. jean californhas been on the sc. >> we have updated figures. level one trauma center here in

las vegas, the public information officer there reports that 104 people were transported from the las vegas strip to their emergency room. eight people immediately taken into an operating room. 12 people currently in critical condition. and when we were coming here, minutes after this happened from our hotel, i saw ambulances going in different directions from the scene. once we got here, we're at the south end of the las vegas strip, we would see ambulances going in and then we would see them leaving. as they were leaving, i would look just as they are passing through in the window, you saw the ems emergency responders were working on victim after victim as they were taking them out of the scene. now the mand lay bay behind me is the large structure. at this point they are executing a search warrant on the 23rd

floor. that's where the suspect, who is now dead, they believe there are weapons there. police were alerted there was a person of interest they were trying to find a roommate of this man. and just minutes ago, we got an update from police on the status of that person of interest. take a listen. >> we were confident, but not 100% sure we have located the female person of interest. so i want the people to feel confident and calm. the suspect, i am going to provide you his identity at this point. his name is steven paddok. we located numerous weapons. i stated earlier it's going to be a long and tedious investigation.

>> the concert was across las vegas boulevard immediately close to the tropicana hotel. it was 10:08 at night and all of a sudden chaos erupted because people started hearing those shots. terrifying moments in las vegas after a gunman opens fire at a country music concert. >> it was people running out of everywhere. >> everyone sit said hit the floor. everyone was laying on top of each over other. >> there were a few hiding knead jooed my car for cover. >> it was the harvest festival outside the resort. the chaos unfolding as jason aldean was performing.

>> get down dlm. >> bullets were fired from the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay. >> they lasted for 10 or 15 minutes. it didn't stop. >> knocking frantic concert goers to their knees. people running for their lives. >> people were climbing the fences, pushing their way through the barricades were coming down. people were screaming, crying, everybody was trying to get out. >> we had a man come running up to us saying his friends are dead. please come help. >> i have three critical patients in my vehicle.

is there any available vehicles to assist me? >> one witness capturing the horror from above, swarming of people scattering for their lives. >> that was close. e we can't go yet. >> what we have been seeing through the night is people that are walking from the strip near the mandalay bay hotel and where the concert was. large buss have been taking them to other locations. this is an extremely large crime scene at the las vegas strip. and just minutes ago i saw what appeared to be a hotel van. it was filled with people. they had a police escort. they came and got into another van and they took them away. some of these people not only were witnesses to the event, but may not know where their family

and friends are. they need to find out exactly what the status of their loved d ones are. >> jean, thank you so much. we have one update to her reporting. we're hearing from law enforcement that mary lou dan lee, this woman who was being sought as a person of interest is no longer a person of interest. detectives have made contact with her and do not believe she's involved with the the shooting on the strip. that's a statement from the las vegas police metro department as of right now. they are looking for a vehicle. now one other new development we want to play for you. we got some audio of the explosive breach when law enforcement broke down the door of the gunman's hotel room on the 32nd floor. we're going to lay that for you. the video, i believe, is from outside of the concert and the shooting as it's taking place on the ground. the sound, though, from inside.

listen to this. >> the suspect is's door, i need everybody in that hallway to get back. we need to see if we can get a response from this guy or if he moved somewhere else. >> copy. all units from the 32nd floor explosive breach, move back. all units move back. >> breach, breach, breach. >> we're hearing that, the explosive breach. the guys whispering outside. they blew up the door to get to the gunman. >> absolutely. it sounded like a professional operation through and through. the fact they got there with such speed, it bolggles the min. but to get in position and understand to get the door off and neutralize whatever is in the room to get officers into the room and get on the subject as quickly as possible.

without that breach and without that entry as professionally done, i fear there would have been more shooting. >> it's striking to hear him. he's whispering, but he obviously knows what he's doing. all units get back, breach, breach and hear the explosion and saying all units get back. it's fascinating to hear what goes on behind the scenes when they are in life and death situation. >> definitely the fear. the reason why he's whispering because if he knows he's out there he turns the rifle right through the sheed rock like swiss cheese. they are at grave danger. he had to act quickly and got in there. amazing how this team was able to get whenever they were into place while this was still going on is mind boggling. >> one police officer was killed. at least one officer was killed. one is in critical condition. one person was an off duty police officer at the concert was kill ed. one person in critical condition. but this just highlights the danger for police officers when they try to take down something like this.

>> we don't know how the gunman was killed. we don't know if when the door was breached or if he shot himself. that's a detail we're waiting to learn. >> joining us is country radio host stormy warren. he was on stage when this gunfire rang out. stormy, we know that you have had an awful night and we really appreciate you giving us your eyewitness account of what happened. can you tell us what happened? >> yeah, i'm going to start with ae jason aldean on stage and then we thought it was pyrotechnics. we thought it was a misfire. i didn't see any, but we heard it. then we thought is that an audio glitch and we're all standing around. jake owen was on stage with me and some other friends and industry people on stage. and then to realize after it

became a long folly of bullets. we knew it was automatic gunfire at this point. it was frightening. so jason and his crew very professionally removed jason and his band, everybody off the stage. everybody cleared the deck. and then we all found whatever shelter we could find. i was with jake owen's road manager behind the sicinder blo wall. we sat there looking up and going, where is this coming from? where is this gunfire coming from. and there was no doubt it was coming tr the mandalay bay hotel. and it was coming from the rooftop. i assumed it was the rooftop. but it was way up high and it was coming down. and i would hope it was just some goof ball trying to be a

joke. but when the bullets started ricochetting off the deck of the stage and like feet from where we were standing and bouncing off and we had to dive under the stage. and when you dove under the stage and still hearing the bullets hit the deck of the stage at the same time, you knew something just horrific was happening. it wouldn't stop. it just kept going. e he would reload. there would be a pause. then another volley of shots. i wish i could count the number of shots. i would say hundreds. i have no idea how many were actually shot. but it was too many. and you hoped that they missed people, but then when the shots finally stopped and we were wondering around look iing at where do we go. when i say wandering around, we were behind protective barriers

the entire time. something in between the mandalay bay and us is all you had to do is find something protective. and then you wanted to find people to help. and there were bodies everywhere. i mean i went out into the audience area from the backstage area. i went out into the audience area and there were bodies there. and you go up to them and say are you okay, are you okay, and many of them were no longer to be okay. and we had hto help the ones wh did. there were people shot in various places of their bodies and screaming and yelling. it just to find people to help. the neatest thing about this thing, and neat is the wrong word to use, but the greatest part of this entire event was the humanity that came out of it. and everybody diving in to help. let's get this person out of here.

let's get this person to help. whatever help we can get. and it was traumatic. it was exhausting. it was stressful. i don't even know what words to put into it at this time. it was emotional. and we all experienced something that i don't think anybody ever thought they would get out of a country music festival in the lights of las vegas. it was just a great three-day event. to witness so much devastation and so much catastrophe and heartbreak. and to see dead bodies everywhere you looked, it was not a good scene. i'm sorry if i'm struggling to find words to use to put this into some sort of paragraph you guys want, but i don't have it yet. >> stor mee, you're doing an

admiral job of bringing us throw tlu the horrors you experienced admiral job of bringing us throw tlu the horrors you experienced. we talked to jake owen. he said he felt like it lasted ten minutes, the shooting part. was that your recollection? i know time slows down during these horrific events and who knows because you're in suspe suspended animation in disbelief, but can you clock it? >> i would say it lasted longer than that. it sure seemed like it. we hid for a long time. and every time we thought it was over, another magazine clocked into whatever the guy was shooting. and he fired another volley off. and you never knew it was going to stop. if it was 10 minutes, 20 minutes, it was too long and it

kept coming. and finally it stopped. that's when the point was you just had to go out and find people to help. it was a struggle of being stuck behind a concrete barrier and knowing that many shots fires that you knew people were going to be hurt. and that was the hardest part. >> could you have any sense of what the target was? did you think that this gunman, whoever he was, wherever he was shooting from, you thought it was the roof of the mandalay bay, did you think he was aiming at the stage or just seem happen h hd. >> if you're aiming towards one person, it's going to be one shot, bam. if you missed him, you do it

again. this was just random. and he didn't care who he hit. and that was the heartbreaking thing. we didn't know who was going to be next. and where he was shooting. who was he aiming for. all of us were in danger. it was heartbreaking to watch that absolute just innocence lost from the fantastic event and to see just who who that unfolded. >> you were on stage when this nightmare began. at this country music festival, we know it's been a horrible, horrible night for you. thank you very much for bringing our viewers what you endured and experienced there. take care of yourself. we'll check back with you. >> thank you. >> amazing, amazing account. join me now is the undersheriff

of las vegas. thank you very much for being withes i. and again, our heart goes out to you. you have two on duty officers who were shot as well as one off duty officer believed to have been killed right now. so we are thinking about you. do you have any updates on the numbers. the last we heard 50 killed, 200 injured, has that changed? >> well, the numbers have pretty much stay ed the same within th last hour. i can tell you that we continue to receive reports from our area hospitals where individuals self-transported themselves over there. that number of injured individuals i anticipate to continue to climb over the next couple hours. >> 200 reported injuries so far, but several hundred more than b that going to the hospitals for various reasons. certainly at a minimum, the injured number will goup. a moment ago we heard remarkable audio of the explosive brech

breach of the hotel room. do you have details about how he was apprehended and killed? >>. >> the officers at that concert could actually hear where the rounds were coming from. it's difficult to pinpoint it. it was up on the 32nd floor. they could see that the rounds were coming from that particular location. heavy fire, automatic fire at times. and so they were corralling all the people that were actually at the concert into behind a block wall. so a number of the other officers came out and went immediately to the mandalay bay and began to ascend up through the 32nd floor. what we know is once we arrived up there, we had isolated this individual to the two rooms.

and our swat team went in and confront ed the individual. >> when you say con front the individual was he shot. is that how the suspect was killed? >> he was shot, but i cannot tell you it was the police that shot him. he may have self-inflicted that gunshot wound. the details still emerging. i can tell you he is deceased. >> 64-year-old stephen paddock. he also told us that numerous firearms were found in the room. numerous, what does that mean? do you have a sense of the numbers? >> as you can imagine with the chaos of the scene and the numbers of victims that we have, you just froze that room. we were able to debrief a couple of the s.w.a.t. officers that went in there. there's a number of long rifles that are in that room. the actual number i can't provide that to you just yet.

>> our affiliate is reporting eight guns. does that seem within the realm of possibility, based on what you heard? >> there was at least eight guns. >> we also heard from the mesquite police department they had had no prior contact with this individual. no law enforcement reason to focus on him before. does that extend past mesquite. has the las vegas police department ever had their eyes on this individual for any reason. >> all of the checks that we have been able to do other than a routine traffic violation here in nevada and nationwide working with our local fbi partners have been able to find no derogatory history on that individual. it's one of those really sad, tragic things that a man that's 64 years old that really had no other reason that we can find at least in his history here to go

out and wound that many people. and brought that unspeakable tragedy here to las vegas. i just want to make sure i get the opportunity to add my condolences to the victims' families and just have them rest assured that we're going to do everything in our power to continue to save lives as well as to figure out exactly what happened and why. >> at least 50 people killed, more than 200 injured. we're right with you on the con e doe lenses to the victims. think of how many lives have been lost and how many lives have been changed forever because of the actions of this one man, which we have no known motive. you are, i imagine at this point, going through his house. i know there's still one vehicle you're trying to locate. what threads are you pulling now to find out what you can? >> so we have a number of days

ahead of this as we continue to move that through. we'll leave no stone unturned in that investigation, but it's going to take a number of days to get through this in its entirety. >> given that two of your own officers were injured on duty. at least one killed in the incident as well. how are you doing after this night? >> this was a day i wish i had never had to see here in my 2 yea -- 27 years of law enforcement. it's not about me, but i will tell you seeing that scene was probably the most disturbing thing i have had to seen sooe in those 27 years. we owe it to the families and the victims themselves to get this thing right. >> i know that people at that concert and the people of las vegas are grateful right now to you and your efforts and the

response that the law enforcement has had in the area not just the city response, but also the county and i imagine there's a federal response as well. we talk about security at large events like this. i imagine there was tight security at this concert. las vegas is always on high alert. but even security for the concert, wouldn't necessarily take into account the hotel, would it? >> you rightfully point out that las vegas is used to hosting large events. i wouldn't even classify this as a large event. it's multiday. >> we're used to handling these events. we had to staff it appropriately with law enforcement and security. these folks were attacked by a man for 32 stories up. with automatic rifle fire.

i don't know how you plan for that. firing across the bfld into large crowds of people. we didn't see it coming. the men and women of metro and fire departments and ems and area hospitals came together. >> any way they could get there, people were helping out to help those in need. one of the difficulties is the number to offer help. >> so that has been very difficult. i believe that hot line is up.

800-call-fbi. so they are going to be working with us. help provide us that information. because every little bit helps. >> we want tolet you go and get back to work. thank you for being with us. we want to thank you for everything you have done tonight. this is wub of the worst nights of your life. but in that, we see some of the best and in first responders like you. thank you very much. >> let's bring back our law enforcement analysts. he was very candid about the

horror of everything that e he saw. as well as how it is impossible to prepare for something like this. you think that you have done all the emergency drills. you think you have done the simulation, but how could you ever prepare for some random hotel window being the source of automatic gunfire down on this open air concert. >> we have the national special security event. we have a number of those. there's a lot of them from the westminster to yankee stadium opening day to republican or democratic national convention. in las vegas what the underslfr sheriff pointed out, they are used to this. 23,000 people, that's business as usual for us. what he said when he talked about the review, there's going to be an exhaustive afteraction review for law enforcement. and i think some of the lessons

learned are some of the best practices that come out of this are going to focus on the area where you have a large group of people. the united states secret service would have cleared all those buildings. and as americans, we don't want to be inconvenienced. if you say you have to wait in line another two hours to get into the concert, we're going to have find that sweet spot. willing to give up freedoms to keep people safe but still remain uniquely american. >> 50 people dead, hundreds injured. the suspect has been killed. 64 years old. this happened at a kocountry muc concert in the las vegas strip. undersheriff gave us sense of how they apprehended the man.

they saw the flashes coming from the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay. officers on the ground saw those flashes. they got word to other officers who went up to the roof on the 32nd floor. they isolated the room or two rooms and it was an explosive breach. e he would not confirm whether or not officers shot him or he took his own life. >> they are going to tell us what happened. you have to make sure you have your facts striegt. there's going to be who knows lawsuits and everything that comes with this. you have people. think about all the wheels in motion. it seems like it went on forever.

it seems like the response was quick. >> it was but if you're going through this, time just stops. nothing can prepare you to see that many bodies in a small area. our heart goes out to everybody there. i hope they get it. >> i'm just listening to my producer because we have an eyewitness who is about to join us who there was with her 4-year-old daughter. we had heard already from some of the country music stars they did see kids in the audience. there were kids on their parent's shoulders because this was a wonderful celebratory country music festival. she was at the concert with her 4-year-old. thank you very much. tell us where you were and what you saw. >> thankfully we were towards the back of everything.

there was a seated area back there. and quite a few kids back there. and we just heard what we thought were fireworks. it took everybody a couple seconds to realize it wasn't. that's when everybody just started yelling, get down. so i put the baby on the ground and got on top of her and when we heard a little break, we ran to the bleachers that were just behind us and tried to tuck her as close to the end so she was as protected as possible. we kind of realized that that maybe wasn't the best idea either. so e we took off to the tropicana hotel which was just next door. there was quite a crowd getting there. >> does your daughter have any sense of what happened? >> it's odd. i have discussed it with my friends already tonight and that

everything is matter of fact. but she was amazing and so incredibly brave and not once did she cry or scream or ask what was going on. so i think she's going to be okay. just ab odd, unfortunate thing that happened to her. >> when you were there and decided you had an opportunity to run, is that because the gunshots had stopped for a few moments and you decided that that was the best courses of action? was everybody running? >> yes, the gunshots had stopped. there were still quite a few people under the bleachers there. some telling us to stay. i just had this instinct to get my daughter out of there. and thankfully everybody in the crowd was really great.

and the second we were yelling out we had a baby, they all made room and let us through. it was pretty crazy. >> when you hear that the numbers have gone up in the past couple hours to 50 people who were killed around you, can you believe that number? >> it's unreal and so sad, so upsetting. there's so many families and people who weren't as lucky as my daughter and i last night. i just hope that everybody can heal from this. i society can learn from senseless acts like this. >> that's what everybody hopes. it's just so impossible to imagine that something like this could happen. 200 people were injured, 50 killed. these are the last numbers we have. these numbers change. 200 injured, many of them

critical. did you see some of those folks around you? >> thankfully no. my daughter didn't see any injuries or blood. by the time we all hurdled into a room. she had already fallen asleep so she did not see any blood that e we saw people's clothing at this point. we were very kwlucky. luckier than most tonight. >> when you planned to go to this big country music festival on the strip, does it ever cross your mind safety? >> absolutely, everywhere you go, but stuff like this can happen anywhere and any city around the world. i travel around the world and try not to live my life in fear of things like this.

, fun lrnt i, happening. it's not anyone's fault who was there attending it tonight. nobody could have known. >> i mean, this is my point. this is somehow our new normal. this is spg that we now have to sort of accept as a possibility. i was just wondering what the calculation is for that when you dpo to a big music venue. if you accept that we're going to keep our wits about us and try to be as aware as possible. >> absolutely. i think that's everywhere you go nowadays, whether it's a country music festival or on a flight somewhere or just to the park unfortunately. kind of have to be on alert, especially when you have your children around. >> when you heard the gunfire starting, you first took cover and shielded your 4-year-old daughter.

you put your body over her and then at some point when the gunfire stopped, you felt you could run. was there any sense that there was -- a stampede is probably too strong. how chaotic was that moment? >> i think we were a little removed from the chaos, tha thankfully in the back of the venue. it wasn't too bad. people were definitely rushing and in a hurry and panicked and scared. there was no stampede. people seemed pretty respectful and scared. >> that's amazing. that's one of the amazing parts of this a that there wasn't more chaos given this carnage. did you connect with people and found all your friends? >> yeah, thankfully. my two friends i went with and i were able to stay together. but i know there are so many people and families and groups

of friends that got split up and were at three different hotels and some in the hospital. i just can't say enough how lucky we are. >> you sure are. and what are you going to tell your daughter some day about what happened? >> another discussion i've had already. i need to discuss it with her. i'm not quite sure. thankfully i get to sleep on it tonight and figure it out tomorrow how to talk to her about it. >> we're really grateful. we know this has been a terrible long night. we're grateful you are here with us to share your story and how you protected your daughter and what the days ahead look flike for you. take care of yourself and your daughter. >> thank you, i appreciate that. we are following breaking news for you.

the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history has happened. it happened last night at an outdoor country music festival on the las vegas strip. at least 50 people were killed there. more than 200 people are injured. many of them in critical condition. police say the gunman has been identified as a 64-year-old with no prior history as far as they can tell. the local police say they never had any run-ins with him. he's dead at this hour. he opened fire of the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay looking out on this open air concert where thousands of concert goers were trying to enjoy the route 91 music festival. >> police say they have spoken to the gunman's companion and she's not believed to be involved with the shooting. she had been considered a person of interest. no longer. they do not believe she was connected. we have new video of the first shots being fired and then even more terrifying the moments of a

second round of gunshots that rang out. here it is. [ gunshots ] [ gunshots ] >> get down!

>> one shooter, all those gunshots from one shooter on the 32nd floor. numerous rifles we're hearing from our affiliate. as many as eight rifles that this 64-year-old man had at the mandalay bay. hearing the gunshots ring out again and again, chilling. we have learned that the acting secretary for the department of homeland security has been briefed on this massacre. want to bring in security analyst and former adviser lisa

mon ker. there's no specific threat on any other venue in the united states right now. we heard from evan perez and our legal team there's no known nex sis to foreign terror either. it looked like this guy targeted this country music concert for whatever reason. >> right. what the authorities are going to be looking at now is any connections that this individual has to any other group. whether it's international or domestic group. we had the new fbi director tell the senate last week that the fbi has over 1,000 investigations into domestic extremists groups already going on today. and that's the same number. an equal number into those they have in international terror

groups. they are going to be looking at what connections this guy had. o people are going to be talking to his companion about what may have made him snap. what appears to be a sniper-style massacre. >> it happened 1:00 a.m. in the white house. so when something of this magnitude happens, is the president awoken? who tells him and peel. back the curtain on how this happened? >> i would imagine my successor is informed by his staff by the situation room. unfortunately, i recalled having to make exactly these types of judgments on my memory now goes back to the massacre in the pulse nightclub in 2016. >> that was the deadliest mass shooting up until last night. there were 49 people killed.

>> the situation room woke me up. and told me that they were getting early reports about a mass shooting, an active shooting situation going on in orlando in the pulse nightclub. i was immediately on the phone with the fbi. about what was happening and what information did they know from their folks on the scene there. and now in that situation, it was an active situation for a number of hours as they breached the nightclub to try to neutralize the suspect and ultimately he was killed as well. so the judgment i suspect they were making at the time is how to get information, the most fgs you can have at the time, inform the president, either waking him up or having his military aid and having him wake him up to inform him.

i don't know that happened, but that's the kind of judgment i made when i was the adviser. >> thaz what's happening at the white house. what's happening on the ground right now? >> i mean, they are executing search warrants and looking for the different aspects and making sure places aren't booby trapped. they have to make sure these places are clear. might have to evacuate the surrounding homes. i don't know if it's a private home or town home. so they have to do that or searching his internet records and any other pam plets he might have around. and social media is going to play a big role in this. who he's connected to, if he's connected, what's he been saying online and they have to try to put this together. that's why they wait to release the name because they want to gather all the intel because it could disappear quickly off the internet. >> in terms of homeland security, they were checking bags going into the concert

venue, but it's an open air venue. it feels, from where we sit today, there's no way to ever stop a crazed gunman wants to go to the 32nd floor of a hotel and rain down terror on thousands of people, i don't know how you stop them. >> it is a tremendous, tremendous challenge for local law enforcement there who are responsible for protecting that scene. there's simply no way to extend the perimeter, which is what law enforcement will talk about here, to extend the perimeter to the degree it's safe from the 32nd floor gunman. >> a small event in las vegas. they have much bigger events than this. it was a small event that they prepare d for here. >> certainly, they looked like they had everything pretty much planned the way it should go. half a mile away, how do you protect this.

it's new york. think about all the tall buildings we have around here. so. >> eight guns. he had eight guns at least in this room. numerous according to the sheriff. that's a lot of fire power. >> absolutely. we don't know how many rounds he had. he could be acting fast. >> i was down there report iing. i obviously remember the horrific scene there and you were on duty. what changed. what changes after things like this? is this just take this in our sort of collective psyche and collective hearts and move on? or do things change for national security and law enforcement after events like this? >> there was a tremendous debate at the time, z you recall, as this individual responsible for pulse nightclub was able to get a weapon even though he was the subject of an fbi national

security investigation. this will be a lot of discussion how does this individual come into possession of so many guns, what is in his background, does he have any member tall health, was he ajud indicated in any way with a mental health issue that should have prevented him from getting those guns. we simply don't know yet. >> the traffic violation maybe cited. they had no reason to believe there was anything untored with this guy, which make it is more difficult and chilling. >> to fly below the radar, there's something that made him snap. and maybe something he's been involved with online. you know how you can get bombarded on social media.

this is something they are going to be looking into and find out. >> fst just incredible. the undersheriff that we interviewed, he was saying usually much bigger crowd scenes. they are used to 25,000 there. they know how to manage it and they have emergency drills. everybody does simulations of worse case scenarios. this is beyond the scope of what they could have imagined or planned for. >> that's right. there's a set protocol for searching bags. the buildings that rise above such that they can be the subject of sniper fire like this. >> this woman who was the person of interest, we're finding more about her. she was a person of interest overnight. police made contact with her. they are saying they don't believe she was connected in in way to the shooting. now i'm getting an alert from our people here saying they believe she was out of the ko

country at the time of the shooting. that's interesting. >> what they saw, why did they focus in on her right away. when we first started talking about it, it sounds like she checked in with him and put out the descriptions and license plates of the cars and called her a roommate. so it's going to be interesting to see how that plays out. >> thank you very much. thank you for all the information and all of your experience with this. we appreciate it. we're going to take a quick break and bring you the new developments on the worst mass shooting in u.s. history, when we come right back. brian, i just need to know if the customer app will be live monday. can we at least analyze customer traffic? can we push the offer online? brian, i just had a quick question. brian? brian...
