9:38 am
gamblers, they're there to make a winner a loser. he wasn't successful in gambling as he had been in previous years, a substantial portion of his wealth had diminished. and that could have been a contributing factor. when you blow your cash in vegas, you go from mr. she, mr. p. mr. g to get they don't want you know more your cash. shy as soon as you blow your cash, you can't get a friggin. french fry steam, gambled. $1600000.00 at the mandalay in the week before he did this, i got the last 4 years of his w to g. i got tax records show that when he came in at the mandalay and they wouldn't give him the room you want. if you sat down and gambled a $1000000.00, so they gave him the room, he wanted violence behind gambling losses is not something that doesn't happen. he was really, really angry with the gaming industry. i think he wanted revenge for the
9:39 am
money he lost at mandalay bay. to leave and jim international falls. he's still got 2 houses. he's got all these guns and ammo. irene, this is knox. some guy that lost a $1000000.00 and decided to go home and pack up his guns. he planned this since monday. there had been many questions for us to release the timeline, and today we have one general side, 1st shots fired by the suspect to change last shots were fired. so jean officers arrive on the 32nd floor to the security officer tells. they'll be an officer as he was shot. and here's the exact location of his room. $1120.00 officers entered the suspects room. they observed the suspect down on the ground. the am says, the metro timeline of the shooting is not correct. i am very well aware of the m g m statement provided yesterday. i agree with their statement the timeline
9:40 am
associated with the original chart and mr. temples has changed. metro now says campbells were shot closer to $10.00 oh, $5.00 aligning m gm's time table released yesterday, which says campbells were shot at nearly the same time or within 40 seconds of the mash, shooting outside. not the 6 minute gap given earlier this week by police o, pacers campus was given an amount somewhere in the neighborhood of $300000.00 for his silence. he was also gifted to condos, and those come to the train of about 20 problem $100.00 a month each $5000.00 a month that has gifted him in the form of a residence. and that came about the time that he was supposed to be on 5 different television shows, doing interviews. suddenly he canceled shortly before the interviews were to occur and said, he just showed up on the show where the came and he shot through this door right from behind the door. i didn't know how he was shooting out of all the
9:41 am
investigative reporters that we have that can ask hard questions. i mean, ellen de generous, who happens to have a whole line of slot machines that are sponsored by the n g m resorts. wow. so and i mean really he saved your life and he said also the woman that came out of the, the door to you stopped everything and m g m resorts in mandalay bay did everything right. she just threw himself balls. is like she was telling him what happened. there was a metal bracket holding the door in place, right. so what we're talking about here just already is clear. ok. so that's the only dam interview that he did was on a tv show. you just wanted to be over, so you're talking about it now and then you're not going to talk about it again and managed to keep him out of contact with any media. and they made sure that instead of hearing the facts from his mouth, we heard the fox from their mouths me. we are getting a better idea of what may happen to the 1 october shooting site,
9:42 am
m g m resorts and metro are reportedly talking about the construction of a swat building on a portion of that site. you would give me a call of interest to give investigating such enormous area known as was biggest village is valued at about $30000000.00. we know we're under investigation by you guys. that's worth over $30000000.00 in this entire event investigation happened in an election year where joe on barto was campaigning to continue to be in a sheriff. he raised over a $1000000.00 me las vegas boulevard. stand up and say this is where we're going to put our money because this, so we want to have electric naked more than a $1000000.00 into sheriff joe and bardo. so nobody else is going to win if they try to run behind them because they're the power machine behind minutes,
9:43 am
the gaming industry. he's got a 1000000 bucks to spend on tv. all the hotels want him because he's going to do what they tell him to do. i don't want anybody assuming that they are unsafe fight . said one of our hotels, almost every press conference. you saw one figure and that was steve says, he didn't see go understandable there. he didn't even carolyn gumi, the mayor there. but you always saw these, this lag in the background. he was on every national television set getting face time using this as a springboard for his political campaign. rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in
9:44 am
me who dares think me, we dare to ask me. these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger. survive something unsure via football was the hardest thing that i had. the face was not having a face, adult expectation like accepted accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had no fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. the. the, the, the me
9:45 am
see this last flight for nevada monitors and grand standing on this vegas, strong movement, use an elevator and they were following through and i'm a journalist with the las vegas tribune. and i tried reaching out to the vegas strong resiliency center. couldn't get anybody on the phone, they wouldn't answer emails. i couldn't get any answers on where this money had gone. if someone had gone anywhere, i was told i was gonna get back to an amount of money and i didn't, you know, like at sephora. they didn't get it christmas, my son's birthday followed up. he didn't get any birthday presents and his definitely wrote rest of the year for me. i felt help list and there was in the i could do to support my family. that definitely taken a child can change in my life mother and i took my kids down. i
9:46 am
do if i go let them down, but they understand and they get it in. thankfully my kids are very, very great for me. think children and they get it in there. they're still there for me. there's a lot of broken people that haven't got the help that they needed. managers. daughter was there. she was injured to go back into a wheelchair after happened. she couldn't stand up for work. she shot at the f l. s, and they fired her because she couldn't work. she lost her own divorce. they got to vegas strong on the fire, trying medic, west, sol town was all in. we all got the moodle and i want to get coffee in the window of dunkin donuts and they were selling vegas strong t shirts out of the window. everybody had their hands in this big marketing point. the people that were victim eyes continue to be victimized because they have not received the funds provided from ripping me anymore. they lost everything. you know,
9:47 am
we can do one of, you know, people no money, no christmas, nothing radar didn't want to be home because those of medicaid, you know, we drinking and i would never, ever allow myself to be that way. ever prior to rule and i'm okay one minute in the next, you know, i'm not seeing that can district and i talked to my sister by and she told me to pray and just hanging. it's not even, you know, you'll never know what happened back there and we'll never know that's doing that. i feel, you know, it's dark. and i said by my phone number a few minutes later, somebody was made on my door scheme and me and they need to go down the road in my life. kids are on and like i let them down in. it's just so
9:48 am
hard when i see it all and they're not part of their help at all. nobody wants to do anything, every shout for how many times a lot go y products for everybody. really, it's donated for all the world. money for the shooting. there's never been any distribution for receiving money or media is pretty silent about the whole thing. they're letting people forget about it and i don't think we're willing to let people there's always somewhere that a politician can blame. and i will say that while i was the fundraiser, but i'm not responsible for distributing what the hell you're not. because if you're not going to distribute the might the victim why collect in? i think the community tober 1st of the tragedy,
9:49 am
but to select he saw as an opportunity every time there was an event that involve vegas. he was there walking around, making certain that he got face time. you know, this community should aside of itself that it never showed before. and i'm really proud. last thing i saw him jumping in front of cameras to show his support and to be real emotional about this horrific tragedy that happened. but i didn't see him dispersing any money. he quite a lot of money raised over $10000000.00 and it is on my building. it's over 10 feet long and it's under on the street. i've been a business owner in downtown las vegas for over 10 years. and i just, i love my community and i thought we are helping, and we are not. and i don't know where that money's not, but it's not getting to the people that are meeting the victims aren't getting it. the victims are missing their rad. they're missing their mortgage payments. eventually the funds were distributed, but they weren't distributed at the time that the people needed it needed those funds early on. that's when the bills are racking up. that's when the rents do the car payments to the insurance to do that is when they needed the help,
9:50 am
they didn't get it emailed me shortly after the shooting. and they said that they realized that my was horrible. and they'd like to offer me a 10 percent coupon and my next day at one of their properties. because obviously a 10 percent discount in a hotel room is going to just make everything go away and make all the victims. forget the hell that we suffered through that night. with the trick into making my day checking my record, which and we have information on the 25th i had told you previously the 28th. you got the timeline changed in 3 times only because people were calling out things came from ma'am. yes ma'am. that's not how we can doctors are so good. the fibers ended with the question before, and i don't know why, why conduct press conferences, ma'am? official timeline, but please stop asking your question. you got really angry and that lady was never
9:51 am
allowed in the room again shortly. after they did, she is the timelines that matched the independent journalist findings. sometime late october, i was here and i noticed that there is a camera here mounted on the outside of this business. and i was wondering actually caught any of the footage from people coming through here. so if i could take a look at it and see if i could access the information. and actually, you know, the videos on fox news to me and drag what appears to be a fallen victim into the parking lot. the business owner who possesses this tape tells us that no law enforcement officer or government investigator has ever seen the video. or even asked to see if you would think that the l b, m p, d, and the f b. i would want every piece of evidence that they could possibly get their hands on . we have hundreds of agents covering every facet of this investigation. nothing will be overlooked. carefully, bartow promised a comprehensive investigation until the damages of the stephen pad
9:52 am
a crime scene. and we still haven't received the results of this comprehensive investigation. so i decided to call into a radio show in which share from bartow was answering questions involving the images. man, you promised me interest again and then you know, when that outcome was going to that day and your way frankly not the comprehensive investigation, we try to run the ground where we were never able to interior with source of the leak was the department with over $600000000.00 budget. yeah, they couldn't figure out who really images from my cell phone. imagine that in my opinion, share from bartow is line. certainly not the 1st line he sold about one or 2 over, or the 1st time used to see the public. last name to say community. yes. is it a safe term community? yes.
9:53 am
during your phone bar is reelection campaign. a violent crime report was released to show that the violent crime rate in las vegas had been reduced. when in fact it didn't take into account the 58 that we lost during 1 october, and there's also 2 other homicides. did it also didn't take into account, so you had 60 homicides that were not included in this report. so the crime rate ashley was the highest in las vegas history. if you include the 60 day so conveniently, left out. my name's papa form a police officer, deputy sheriff and criminal investigator. i spent about 20 years in the casino industry as a director of security. and i'm also a journalist. i was listening to the radio static swat off, so he by hancock out on the radio. he said we had an actual discharge, but none of that was released publicly. joe bought a new saying that the actual discharge. so i broke the story about a month later in the board post examiner. and a lady came out and said there was an actual discharge kind of expose the fact that
9:54 am
he hadn't been entirely truthful. and that was when a lot of people started asking questions about why we weren't being given the whole truth accidental discharge, excuse me. he was tell him to jump and he does have a paid puppet. he is a liar. there is no conspiracy between the f b i between alien p d and the m g m. nobody is attempting to hide any story when you try to hide a breeze conspiracy theories dictated breeds. people say, why is ely? and he's a liar, the covering this up, the coming that if there was a conspiracy, it was conspiracy to cover up negligence and competence. one of the storage, the title was joe bottle liar and competent. both the word and competence has been brought forward and i am absolutely offended with that
9:55 am
characterization shut down. all the press conferences shut the out of the information and the story just started to go away. and then shortly after that, you get to radio encryption, where the public's no longer allowed to listen to the police scanners out here on the 23rd and metropolitan always department, public ability to listen to what's happening in the city. there were getting called out on a daily basis for the inconsistencies, and they kept changing the stories. and i think probably all of that was based on the fact that people could check up by listening to the radio even compared to the stories. you can see. you can see for yourself that they weren't tell the truth. the major news outlets have filed wall suits the one for me to turn over police records related to the 1 october shooting. this is according to the only times which is one of the plane up for that doesn't mean
9:56 am
all those got together lawsuit together to sue the las vegas most bob police department over them refusing to release these documents at the court, ordered them to release the supreme court ruled that all information was supposed to be given out immediately, so sure when barto excited to charge nearly half a $1000000.00 to get this information. another legal maneuver on his part to delay the release of the information that las vegas metro police cannot charge the media high fees to get records on the 1 october shooting. at the behest of the court system, we were mandated to provide body warn camera footage and document footage as part of a public information request. the las vegas metropolitan police department started releasing data, but only bits at a time from barbara cherry picked which information he wanted to have come out before the election in which information was going to come out after the election for july, bardo was re elected as las vegas metro pd's share in june of
9:57 am
2018. it wasn't until after that that he chose to release the videos of his officers cowering in the hallway outside of stephen products room. instead of immediately entering to stop the possible threat of more people being shot out about hotel room window. the ah, do you wish to finish your cars actually got an uncovered face men's clothing and showed a whole stuck. it's a kind of s can feminism. it's name is how camino above put a human level. some of the whole model that of us is, was on the job. but you know,
