risked her life to help him. we'll get to his story in a moment. first we will go to brian todd who is tracking the latest developments as police try and understand the motive in the las vegas attack. nats:police believe that gunman steven paddock not only had an elaborate plan to carry out mass carnage, he also had a plan to try to escape. investigators now say they have a clearer timeline of just what happened sunday night.the shooting began three minutes earlier than thought... at 10:05 pm... and lasted for ten terrifying minutes.this newly released video shows victims fleeing along las vegas boulevard, still in the line of fire. thirty-two stories up... at 10:17 p-m, the first police officers on the scene arrive in a hallway, like this one, and find security guard jesus campos, shot in the leg.police say it's this first interaction that suggests paddock was not planning to die in his suite.reporter:"did you see any evidence that he planned to survive this or try

to escape?"sheriff joseph lombardo/ las vegas metropolitian police: "yes." reporters: "can you tell us what that is?" "what's that?" sheriff joseph lombardo/ las vegas metropolitian police:"i can't tell you."police now say paddock had barricaded the stairwell next to his door, similar to this one and had set up an elaborate system to monitor the hallway, including more cameras than first thought: two on this cart... one in the door's peephole and another inside the room. they say when he saw campos on a screen, he unloaded more than 200 bullets some thru the door into the hallway.sheriff joseph lombardo/ las vegas metropolitan police:"i believe because of his counter measures placed in the peephole and the hallway he observed the security guard and he was in fear that he was about to be breached."at that point, police say, paddock stops firing on the crowd. the sheriff believes he has turned his focus from killing, to getting away.sheriff joseph lombardo/ las vegas metropolitan police:"so he was doing everything possible to figure out how he could escape at this point. his concern was personal concern, versus what was occurring down below him." paddock's car was stocked with 1600 more bullets, and fifty pounds of tannerite-- a chemical compound that could have caused large explosion.
4:05 am
his deadly preparations all visible in these crime scene photos leaked to the daily mail, which combine to show a panorama of rifles with bump stocks, stands, scopes, and stacks of ammunition.and tonight, authorities say the suite was not the only room paddock booked. just a week earlier, paddock rented a room at the ogden condominium overlooking a music festival featuring lorde and chance the rapper.sheriff joseph lombardo/ las vegas metropolitan police:"was he doing pre-surveillance? we don't know yet."a chicago hotel overlooking the lollapalooza concert also says in august someone named stephen paddock reserved a room during the festival - although he never checked in.
