we're learning from the gunman's brother and his neighbors, as well, as investigators move in on his home. >> reporter: caravans of federal agents, s.w.a.t. teams and police today desended on the small town of mesquite, nevada, the home of gunman stephen paddock. his neighbors in disbelief. >> just in shock, started shaking. i just can't believe someone in here would do that. i just can't believe it. >> reporter: police raided paddock's homes in reno and mesquite, where they used a robot to take out the garage door. investigators found those 18 weapons, explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition in the house paddock shared with his girlfriend, mary li ma mar marilou danley. >> i've seen them leave the house together, yeah. >> reporter: and nothing seemed out of the norm? >> nothing. i'm just wondering what happened to him yesterday, or a couple days, getting some mad argument or something that would cause him to just think about doing that? >> reporter: tonight, 2,300 miles away in florida, stephen paddock's family is also

struggling to understand how he could commit such carnage. >> there's absolutely no way i can even conceive that my brother would shoot a bunch of people. >> reporter: his brother says there was no mental illness and no warning. >> he doesn't even have parking tickets. he has no criminal record, he has no record of any affiliations, he has nothing. >> reporter: last time they spoke, just weeks ago, right after hurricane irma hit florida. >> the last time i communicated with my brother, he texted me, said, how's mom? i texted him back. >> reporter: paddock says he moved his brother from florida to this quiet retirement community nearly two years ago. and stephen was a wealthy gambler who owned a couple of guns, but not an arsenal. >> he didn't hunt, he didn't -- i mean, he barely shot his guns ever. he had a couple of handguns that he kept in a safe. >> reporter: not far from paddock's mesquite home, the general manager of this gun shop confirming he sold weapons to paddock, but that all necessary background checks and procedures were followed.

and at that nearby gun store where paddock bought weapons in the past, the general manager said he never gave an indication he was unstable or unfit. back at paddock's home, police are scouring for any evidence of a motive. >> so, let's bring in ken moton tonight. he joins us from the gunman's neighborhood in mesquite, nevada. and ken, police are also hoping to talk with stephen paddock's girlfriend, who apparently is still out of the country? >> reporter: that's right, david. she's believed to be overseas, but she's expected back soon to answer some important questions. and moments ago, we learned the fbi has finally left this neighborhood, but police here in mesquite plan to keep watch over paddock's home, because they believe it could contain more key evidence. david? >> and there are so many questions about that girlfriend when they found the i.d. in the hotel room, but again, as ken just reported, it is believed she is overseas, at least for the foreseeable feature. ken moton tonight, thank you. we turn next to another of the gunman's family members speaking out tonight. his niece, nicole paddock, writing on facebook, "i want to

express my deepest sympathies to everyone affected by this massacre. i'm as shocked and appalled as anyone about this senseless act of violence. i cannot speak to what would motivate someone to do something like this, nor what his specific motivations may have been. he never came across as religious or political. my family and i are still in shock by this news and my heart goes out to all of those who lost or had loved ones injured in this tragedy. i'm at a loss for words." that is the niece of the suspect tonight. just moments ago, we spoke with two people who ran the production company that put on the concert here last night and when we heard their story, we asked them to come on the broadcast. amy and keith conrad, thank you both for being here. i know it was supposed to be the third night of what had been an incredible three days of concerts here in las vegas. can you just describe the moment when you knew that this was actual gunfire? because at the very beginning, a lot of people thought it was fireworks or something else. >> yeah, we were actually on the far southwest side of the festival lot, closest to

mandalay bay, getting ready to kind of walk back behind the stage, and we kichbd heardnd of pop, pop, pop. and one person said maybe a firecracker, and we actually saw the light up in the mandalay bay tower. and we thought, you know, the second time it went through, it really was gunfire, we said get down. >> the incredible thing is this suspect was relentless. there were pauses in the gunfire, when people would stand back up and make a run for it and then another round would begin? >> yeah. that was probably the most terrifying part, was just honestly thinking that it was over, you think, okay, we're okay to stand up, and then it's quiet -- it was quiet, what felt like for awhile and then you would go to crouch up and go low and it would just start up all over again, so, yeah. >> horror that unfolded here. your father was wearing a bag on his back. and you guys believe tonight that might have been what saved him? >> yeah, so, you know, the president of the company and her father and he was at the front of the house taking pictures and he thought he was fine, he got

in this morning, he realized that his frame was shattered in the back of his bag and it was on his back the whole time. so, absolutely saved his life. >> that part of the camera was shattered? >> camera was shattered. >> we're glad you are both okay and i imagine it's going to take a long time for this city to heal. >> absolutely. >> send your father our best, too. >> thank you. we continue here, and today's massacre wasn't the first time president trump has been called upon to lead the nation through a mass shooting. at the white house this afternoon, a moment of silence. the president and first lady, the vice president and his wife, and the staff all there for the solemn ritual. the president will travel here to las vegas on wednesday, but tomorrow, he will be in puerto rico, and that's where we find abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: there's no training for something like this. a president leading a moment of silence for victims of a shooting so deadly, so senseless, it has shocked the nation. his predecessor saw them all too often. 18 times, forced to address the nation after mass shootings.

responding to the horrors became a sad, frustrating, horrifying routine. there was sandy hook. 20 children. none of them older than 7 years old, murdered at school. >> they had their entire lives ahead of them, birthdays, graduations, weddings. kids of their own. >> reporter: at the sandy hook memorial, president obama vowed a national effort to prevent such a thing from ever happening again. >> because what choice do we have? we can't accept events like this as routine. >> reporter: but the violence didn't stop. more than a dozen mass shootings after sandy hook. including the murder of nine at the mother emanuel church in charleston. emotions so raw at the memorial that the president broke into song. ♪ amazing grace >> reporter: and now, president

trump faces the challenge not just of reassuring the nation after the deadliest shooting yet, but of figuring out how to prevent more. at the white house, he ignored questions about gun control. >> is it time for new gun control laws? >> reporter: president obama tried and failed entirely to pass stricter gun restrictions. that's unlikely to be president trump's path, but as the tears subside, he will face the same maddeningly frustrating challenge that bedevilled his predecessor. stopping this from happening again. >> and jon karl joins us tonight from puerto rico. where president trump will arrive tomorrow. then the president comes here no las vegas on wednesday. and jon, we heard that question shouted there at the white house about gun control. and this president now facing what presidents before him faced and this pressure to have a conversation about gun violence in this country. >> reporter: certainly hearing that pressure, feeling that pressure from democrats, including, david, two very familiar names -- hillary

clinton tweeting, quote, our grief is not enough. we must stand up to the nra. and we heard today from joe biden, the former vice president, a very similar message. he tweeted, quote, congress and the white house should act now to save lives. clearly the beginning of this conversation, david. >> all right, jon karl tonight on president trump and jon, we'll see you from puerto rico tomorrow here on the broadcast. in the meantime, next here, this country on heightened alert after what happened overnight here, increasing security at some of the most popular tourist spots in the country. police in new york's times square making their presence known, and of course, this new challenge. what happens when the shooter is actually on the 32nd floor or high up in a building, like what we saw transpire right here last night? here's abc's linzie janis on that front tonight. >> reporter: tonight, police in one of the nation's most popular tourist destinations on high alert. security vehicles lining new york city streets. officers armed with automatic assault rifles, patrolling

multiple locations. the nypd says although there is no direct threat to the city, it's not taking any chances. >> certainly maintain our vigilance as we move into the fall, winter and the holiday season. >> reporter: extra officers deployed at potential targets like times square, where tens of thousands of tourists and new yorkers congregate every day. how do you feel in the wake of the las vegas shooting about being somewhere like times square? >> a little nervous, but actually happy to see armed guards everywhere. >> reporter: in the last four years, the nypd, the nation's largest police force, training for active shooter scenarios. arming 2,000 officers with long guns. >> major events here, the police department have people of rooftops. they're observing what's going on on the ground, but they are also observing buildings that are across from where they are. so, it's something that's always been on the radar screen for the police department. >> reporter: david, the nypd says a shooter opening fire from within a tall building has been something it has been concerned

about. it says what happened in las vegas is a reminder for everyone to be vigilant. david? >> linzie janis with us tonight, as well. linzie, thank you so much. next tonight here, to the toll of these mass shootings across this country. and we wanted to show you this tonight, this bar graph that takes us all the way back to the university of texas tower shooting, back in 1966. all the way up through newtown, orlando and of course now las vegas. and you can see that toll only increasing over time. abc's david wright tonight on the fbi's difficult count. >> reporter: tonight, in las vegas, a grisly new record. >> we are currently standing at 527 for individuals injured and individuals that have died or passed away, 59. >> reporter: this is now the deadliest mass shooting in modern history. a record las vegas may not hold onto for long. active shooter incidents are becoming more frequent and more deadly in this country. they were relatively rare when

two columbine high school students killed a dozen of their classmates and a teacher. that was in 1999. this map shows the incidents that have taken place since the year 2000. more than 230 incidents. more than 730 dead. >> people have access to guns and right now, in this world, there is a lot of mental health problems that people have and this is their solution in their mind. >> reporter: in fact, the four deadliest active shooter incidents all took place in the past ten years, including virginia tech, 32 people killed, sandy hook elementary, 20 first graders killed, plus six adults and the pulse nightclub in orlando, 49 people killed. that was the previous record, orlando held that record for just over a year until today. david? >> david wright with us tonight. david, thank you. and there were pointed words from former congresswoman gabby giffords today, a gun attack

>> it literally felt like it just continued for 20 minutes straight. and every time there was a break, we ran. and we ran. >> all the walls in the location were about 10 to 15 feet high and you just couldn't climb them, so everyone was just bottlenecked. there was no escaped. we were just penned in, it was just a kill box. >> i just knew that the bullets were flying everywhere, and that if we got up, we could die. i saw people getting shot right in front of me. it was the scariest thing i've ever seen or heard in my entire life. >> and we cannot forget tonight the hundreds of patients in hospitals across this city. and we'll have more on what happened here, in addition to the other news this monday. much more ahead on this special edition of "world news tonight" from las vegas. our coverage of the massacre. also, the crisis in puerto rico. president trump arriving there tomorrow. our cameras inside the recovery effort. the president facing huge backlash for his comments about storm victims and the mayor of san juan. also, the military plane
