tv   Erin Burnett Out Front  CNN  October 5, 2017 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT

4:00 pm
this is a good one. >> thank you for excellent reporting, amazing reporting you have done over the past several weeks. i know you worked really, really hard. an important note to viewers, join bill weir for "the wonder list" saturday night, 9:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. that's it for me, erin burnett out front starts right now. frightening clues in the las vegas massacre. it was shooter planning more attacks in different cities around the country? plus, concert goers helping the injured piling one after another into a truck. it's all on tape and he is our guest. breaking news, robert mueller meeting with the trump dossier with out front. i'm erin burnett. out front, more deadly plots. the las vegas shooter, stephen paddock may have had more plans
4:01 pm
to kill on a massive scale, not just in las vegas. it appears he may have been looking at targets around the united states. in august, one month before the shooting sunday night, someone with the name, stephen paddock reserved a room at a chicago hotel overlooking lollapalooza with thousands in attendance. that weekend, president obama's daughter, malia. one week before the massacre in las vegas, he rented a room in a nearby vegas complex, near the site of another outdoor concert, the life is beautiful concert, attended by 100,000 people. they believe paddock had a plan to escape. he didn't plan to die in the hotel room, he planned to do more carnage. the cameras indicate he wanted to know when police were closing in to know when to stop shooting and take off. you are looking at videos we
4:02 pm
have out front from the actions of one brave man that strahmabled the safety, risking his life. i'm going to talk to that man. i want to start with martin savidge at the scene of the shooting in las vegas. today, we are learning a lot more about the shooters activities leading up to the las vegas massacre. >> we are. the reason the authorities are learn thg is two-fold. some of it is human, some electronic. first and foremost, they have been going through the electronics because the gunman died in attackses. they have been putting out a plea. have you heard anything about this man? it's been paying off, but the end result is, realizing, this could have been much, much worse. new video shows chaos at the festival. >> keep your heads down. go. >> reporter: the struggle to get concert goers who had been shot
4:03 pm
to safety. the nearby air feld was used for cover. >> we had people jump the fence, breakthrough the fences and get to the airport property. >> reporter: the harvest festival was the latest big music event stephen paddock loomed over in recent weeks. he booked events at the ogden in las vegas less than two weeks ago. during the large, life is beautiful festival, annual attendance, 100,000. weeks earlier, a guest by the name, stephen paddock booked a room over looking lollapalooza. it was from this suite on sunday he attacked country music fans. not only did he shoot out the broken windows, but at least more than 200 rounds into the hallway, injuring a security guard. police believe paddock, whose body is seen on the floor of the suite, planned to survive and leave the building. >> he was doing everything
4:04 pm
possible to figure out how to escape. his concern was personal concern versus what was occurring down below. >> reporter: they believe he carried the arsenal into the hotel in ten suitcases but kept more in his car in the parking lot, 1600 more rounds of ammunition. specifically, seen here in the demonstration. even as that investigation goes on, the first of the memorial services begins in charleston heartfield. a former las vegas police officer who died. he was off duty at the concert that night. he is considered a hero. 34 years of age, a father, married with two children. erin? >> thank you very much, martin. dan simon is out front and also in las vegas. the sheriff says he thinks the
4:05 pm
shooter had help. others say there's no indication of an accomplice. what are you hearing? >> reporter: erin, there is a bit of confusion. i think it has to do with the difference between the word accomplice and help. they are saying the shooter had no accomplice, but the sheriff yesterday said the shooter had to have some help. it is entirely possible for both things to be true. of course, help can come in many forms, perhaps somebody helped the shooter acquire weapons or help him acquire some of those bump stocks. yet that person could have been completely in the dark over what happened. we'll have to see what the sheriff has to say. he is privy to more information from what is on the electronic devices. >> dan simon, thank you very much. as dan points out, the electronic device is crucial. they have been able to get information off those that obviously is crucial here. i want to go to congresswoman
4:06 pm
jackie rosen who represents the area. thank you, i know you are being briefed regularly on the investigation. paddock must have had help. other officials are telling cnn, there's not an indication of an actual accomplice. could you clear this up? >> i can tell you, sheriff lombardo, the entire force and everybody working with him is working around the clock to gather all the evidence, look at all the electronics. anybody who sent anything in, a composite picture of stephen paddock and who he was and what would have motivated him to do such a heinous crime. i'm not sure if he had an accomplice. the evidence will prove that. >> do you believe there could be someone involved who is on the loose of missing? someone who helped him or taught him how to operate the weapons
4:07 pm
or something more, knew what was going on? do you think it is possible there are people out there who have crucial information? >> well, i certainly hope not and i hope this is the act of a lone madman. so, like i said, the sheriff is doing a great job. we are getting regular briefings. they are following the evidence and i think he may have had help, but maybe not an accomplice. that might be the answer. >> that's what dan simon said, help, but not accomplice. investigators are saying he intended to survive, had more than 60 pounds of explosives in his car, in the hotel parking lot at the mandalay bay. in addition to that, 1600 rounds of ammunition in his car. what do you think he was planning? >> well, we can only imagine what was going through his mind, what might have triggered someone to want to do a heinous
4:08 pm
crime to attack people who are just, it's a beautiful, gorgeous las vegas to attack people like sitting ducks at a concert. one can only speculate what might have triggered this. i'm not sure what he was planning next. i hope we can determine a motive, maybe that will help us figure this out or maybe stop somebody else from doing it in the future. >> congresswoman, we know the newest information, right, is he rented a room at a las vegas complex that overlooks another music festival in september that 100,000 people attended. in august, a person with the name stephen paddock reserved a room in chicago which overlooked the la la palooza festival ther, but never checked in. why? why now? why this time? when clearly, he had considered others. >> well, obviously, he had mitigating factor that i think a
4:09 pm
year ago prompted him to start purchasing numerous amounts of guns and ammunition and go forward, possibly, with this meticulous planning. it was premeditated, meticulously planned. as we see more data coming off the electronics, as we talk to the girlfriend, call his other friends or relatives, we'll begin to paint the picture of who he was and what's inside the mind of a madman, if you can get inside the mind of a madman. >> at this time, from your understanding, do investigators have any sense from your briefing, as to what happened a year ago that caused him to suddenly start what is now 33 firearms, including rifles, semiautomatics in the past 12 months? >> well, what i do know about sheriff lombardo and his team is they are going to do everything in the absolute perfect way. they are going to cross every
4:10 pm
"t" and dot every "i." when they give us the information, it will be correct. if there are going to be further prosecutions we'll be able to move forward and get those convictions. i want to wait until he gets the complete package of evidence. i know it will be just right. >> congresswoman, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. next, the high rolling killer, dropping $100,000 an hour on video poker. was he a gambling addict, a psycho path or both? plus this -- >> go. go! go! everybody go! [ gunfire ] >> new video of the shooting as it happened. i'm going to speak to the man who recorded this video and left people to safety. new details about the former spy, you know the one who put together the russian collusion and the trump campaign. it's a cnn exclusive tonight. knowing where you stand has never been easier.

4:15 pm
much of a lifestyle as a hobby. he bought homes for nearly $400,000 in cash. what does this tell us about the motive? sarah sidner is out front. >> reporter: authorities say killer, stephen paddock is going what he normally did in las vegas before the massacre began. a retiree he was living off real estate investments and betting money attica see knows. eric paddock witnessed how big a gambler he was when they visited in reno. my family, he brought us to vegas and reno. in the hotel. you know? >> reporter: he had also been spotted at high roller events in las vegas according to anthony curtis. what does it mean to be a high
4:16 pm
roller? how much do you have to spend to be in that category? >> it's different for different places. the places he played, you have to be a big better. he was playing 25 denomination video poker times five. he was betting 125 a hand playing at a rate of 1,000 hands an hour. he was running $100,000 through the machine every hour. >> reporter: his game of choice, video poker. what kind of player do you have to be if you are using video poker to win big? >> it's a subset of the slots. instead of pointing handles and pushing buttons, you have to make a decision. if you want to think and make decisions. >> reporter: meticulous, well informed, mathematical? >> yes. >> reporter: it is a game that would be attracted to loners and
4:17 pm
paddock was not known to socialize with other high rollers, though they recognize his picture. he managed a close relationship with at least one person, his girlfriend, marilou danley. >> he loved her. >> he bought her a ticket home to the philippines and wired her $100,000 some time before the shooting, according to the statement read by her attorney. >> while there, he wired me money to buy a house for me and my family. i was grateful, but, honestly, i was worried that, first, the unexpected trip home and then the money was a way of breaking up with me. >> reporter: he was clearly planning something more sinister, a shooting, she says, she knew nothing about. in the end, he killed 50 people
4:18 pm
and himself. authorities say it appears he planned to survive and escape. still, with all the authorities know about paddock, the details do not answer one important question. why did he do it? that remain as mystery. the sheriff said there is a possibility that paddock may have had help and he wanted to make very clear that the investigation is nowhere near over. erin? >> sarah, thank you. i want to go to a professor of psychiatry. let me start with this las vegas gambling capital of the world. he is a big gambler. they are talking $100,000 an hour. >> absolutely. >> does this give us any window into intend, motive, anything? >> we are not four days into this. the more details come out, the more things become.
4:19 pm
this guy operated on opposite ends in so many different ways. we hear he was wickedly smart and parts of his life come partme partmentalized. he is a recluse. a sociopath. he had enough malice in his heart to hurt people. the methodology, how he went about doing it, the planning process, scoping it out, going to different venues that took so much time. accruing 33 weapons in the past year. it set the pattern of somebody who, yes, had a grievance against somebody or something or a group and then something triggered him. it wasn't something that happened monday night or sunday night. >> no, it wasn't. i want to get to more of that. when you listen to the brother's shooter, i'm sorry, the shooters brother, he said he was an excellent gambler. i want you to hear it in his words.
4:20 pm
[ inaudible ] >> what do details like that tell you about the shooter? >> tells me this is somebody who takes great pride in being able to handle numbers, odds and almost has a narcissistic view of it. like, he knows more than anybody about this. but, if he felt for years and years that he wasn't appreciated, his genius wasn't appreciated and his egowas damaged, he was be an angry loser. he's not a madman, but a mad man. murders can be addictive if they are a psycho path.
4:21 pm
we don't know that. we don't have biological psychiatric information on him. he looks like somebody who is probably felt like a loser, wasn't appreciated and he is going to get even with the world. >> james, this issue of health, the sheriff's in las vegas say you have to make the asumpx he had help. sours are saying he didn't have an accomplice. how do those things fit together, if they do? >> again, he apparently had an intimate relationship with the girlfriend, yet the girlfriend described him as kind and giving and knew nothing about this other world, she says. >> right. >> there's ways around that. we can ask her to take a polygraph and follow leads. >> take it at face value right now. >> at face value right now.
4:22 pm
have there been mass murders in the past that led a compartme compartmentalize zed life, absolutely. how could nobody notice anything. maybe not an accomplice, but somebody helping him purchase guns, not knowing what the end state would be. help him train to use the bump stop. somebody has to show you how to do that. in that manner, he could have had help and they dnlt know what they were going. >> something should have gone off in your head. james, what about the issue of what we have learned, he reserved a room at the airbnb and a festival of 100,000 people. a chicago in august, a hotel in his name, he didn't check in, overlooking the lollapalooza
4:23 pm
festival. now we are learning he had 50 pounds of explosives in his car. they say he wanted to live and continue. when you put that together, more attacks planned, scouted other possible venues, but chose this one, what do you make of it? >> that's predatorial behavior. that is like a psycho path. they don't want to be caught. he figured the odds, he would be caught or stopped. he's willing to die. he may have been willing to go out different. his father was a psychopath, nonviolent. he had that planning and so proud to read the odds he would have done that. the chances of me living and killing more are "x" and that's what i'll do. that follows. he probably thought there's a
4:24 pm
chance he doesn't get out of there. >> thank you both very much. next, this -- >> go! keep your head down. go! [ gunfire ] >> we have new video tonight of the shooting and the heroic efforts to get people previously wounded to safety. the man who reported the images saving lives was our guest and a man who took three bullets to save his wife. one got pieces of shrapnel in his shoulder. we'll return with him. whoop, w!

[ gunfire ] >> what made you run toward the danger, tell people what to do instead of try to run to safety yourself? >> yeah, sounds scarier now than it was then. >> i mean, you sound so calm. your voice there, and you have authority. you are telling people what to do at a moment they are looking for someone to tell them where to go, how to be safe. you are filming this. what was going through your mind? >> um, i think it was more just
4:32 pm
reacting to what was happening around me. when i first started walking that way, i came up to an officer. he was shot in the foot. so, wanted me to stay with the person who shot so he can go and wanted to stay there. then, all the people started exiting out of those two doors there. obviously, didn't want them to go the wrong direction, so helped them know which way to go. >> you stepped up there and helped so many people go the right way. you know, ray, your recording is very hard to watch, in part because it lasts the entire attack. all of us had trouble understanding what nine minutes means, a few seconds, then a pause, an automatic machine gunfire, what automatic fire sounds like. i want people at home to hear

4:42 pm
so fast and i turned to my wife and said somebody blew off fireworks. then, the slower sound kept going after that. at that point, jason aldean started his four songs, 15 seconds into it, he stopped singing. then the lights went off on stage and they took off running. the shooting continued and so i said to my wife, get down, get down. so, we -- i wanted to lay down at an angle i thought would keep her on the other side of me, where i believe the bullets were coming from. i don't know if they were coming from the tower of ground level in front of mandalay bay. >> you could tell the direction? >> i could tell the direction by sound. >> when the shots starts, that initial barrage, you went down to protect your wife? >> yes, i wanted to get down for

4:56 pm
>> yeah. erin, i think the best way to describe this comment by the president today, leaves things murky. we don't know exactly what he's referring to at time when there are a number of foreign policy challenges this administration is up against. mentioned the situation in north korea but also a big issue on the table right now is situation with iran. will the white house continue to be part of the iran nuclear deal that was hatched during the obama administration? we have reporting today that suggests that the administration is ready to decertify the deal, essentially send the decision back to congress and they would have 60 days to decide whether or not the u.s. should stay in or out and sense you get from many republicans in congress is they don't want to be part of the deal and situation in north korea is unstable and president has been aggressive in language while his advisers, many in that room today have talked about
