6:40 pm
the 1st shots fired by the suspect to team last, shots were fired. so jean officers arrive on the 32nd floor. the security officer tells the 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 associated with the original chart, and mr. campbells has changed. metro now says campbells were shot closer to 10 o 5 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
6:41 pm
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 or 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 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 door to you stopped everything and m g m resorts in mandalay bay did everything right. he just threw himself balls. is like she was telling him what happened.
6:42 pm
there was a metal bracket holding the door in place. right. so what we're talking about here, just so right 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, 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 theory unknown as long as vegas village is valued 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
6:43 pm
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 is who we want to have elective. and then they go more than a $1000000.00 into share of joe and bardo. so nobody else is going to win. if they try to run behind them, because there's a power machine behind minutes, the gaming industry, he's got a 1000000 bucks to spend on g. b. 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 by saying that one of our hotels, almost every press conference, you saw one figure, and that was the way he didn't see go understandable there. he didn't even carolyn gumi, the mayor there,
6:44 pm
but you always saw steve's this lag in the background. he was on every national television set getting face time using this as a springboard for his political campaign. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the the, the
6:45 pm
6:46 pm
use an elevator and they weren't 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 going to get back to the amount of money and i didn't, you know, make it suffered. they didn't get a christmas. my son's birthday followed up. he didn't get any birthday presents and his family ross rest of the year for me and there was in the i could do to support my family. that definitely taken a child can change in my life as a mother. and i took my kids down. i do as i let them down, but they understand and the big thing for my kids are very, very great, amazing children and they get 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
6:47 pm
a wheelchair after happened. she couldn't stand up for work. she was a shot at the s l. s. and they fired her because she couldn't work. she lost her own divorce. they got the strong on the fire trying medic was all town was all in. we all got the moodle. 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 victimized continue to be victimized because they have not received the funds provided from ripping or the last everything you know, we can do one of, you know, cable no money. no christmas, nothing. i didn't want to be home because i was so many katy knows have only drinking and i would never ever allow myself to be in that way ever prior to rule and i'm ok women in the next thing that can district
6:48 pm
and i talked to my sister and she told me to pray it's just. ready hanging, it's not even, you know, you'll never know what happened back there and will never know that doing that. i feel you know, its dark. so by my phone number a few minutes later and somebody with me on my door lot scheme and the me it's not legal rose in my life, kids are on and what i let them down and it's just so hard when i only and they're not part of their help at all, nobody wants to do anything i reach out for how many times social i bought a product for every penny really it's donated for table over the world for
6:49 pm
the shooting. there's never been any distribution for receiving what money or media is pretty silent about the only they're letting people forget about it and i don't think we're willing to let me. there's always somewhere data politician can blame and sicily. 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 victims why collect in, i think the community tober 1st is a tragedy, but just select, he thought as an opportunity. every time there was an event that involve vegas. he was there walking around, making certain that he got to know if this community should aside itself, but it never showed before. and i'm really proud. last day, i saw him jumping in front of cameras to show his support and to be real emotional
6:50 pm
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 los 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 is, but it's not getting to the people that need the victims aren't getting it. the victims are missing the racks. they're missing their mortgage payments. eventually the funds were distributed that they weren't distributed at the time that the people needed it. they 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, 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 on my next day at one of their properties. because obviously
6:51 pm
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. will be tricky to make my day to check 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 are calling out things came from the valley. ma'am. yes ma'am, that's not how we conduct this. are so good. fibers in with the question before you know, while i conduct press conferences, ma'am official timeline, please stop asking your question. you got really angry and that lady was never allowed in the room again. and this shortly. after they did, here's the timeline that matched the independent journalist findings. sometime late october, i was here and i notice that there is a camera mounted on the outside of this business. and i was wondering actually caught any of the footage from people coming through here fast. if i could take
6:52 pm
a look at 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 in the parking lot. the business owner who possesses this team tells us that no long foresman officer or a 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. cheerful bartow promised a comprehensive investigation until the damages of the stephen pad 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 to leave the images. man, you had promised me interest again and then you would let us know when that outcome
6:53 pm
was, what they're doing and you're waiting, frankly not. so we pretty comprehensive investigation. we try to run the ground there. we were never able to determine who source of the leak was. we have a department with over $600000000.00 budget. yeah. they couldn't figure out who really images from a cell phone. imagine that in my opinion, sure, from bartow is line. certainly not the 1st line he's told about want to over or the 1st time used to see the last names to say community. yes. is it a safe term community? yes. during your from bart as re election 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 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
6:54 pm
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 we buy hancock out on the radio. he said we have an actual discharge, but none of that was released publicly. jo bottle do say anything about the actual discharge as library, the story about a month later in the boss or pose examiner. and a lady came out and said there was an actual discharge, it kind of expose the fact that he hadn't been entirely to school with the public. 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 in. he paid papa's.
6:55 pm
he's a liar. there is no conspiracy between the f b i between l. m. p and the m g m. nobody is attempting to hide any story when you try to hide it. breeze, conspiracy theories that it breathes. people saying, why is eli and he's a liar, the covering this up becoming that if there was a conspiracy, there was conspiracy to cover up negligence and a competence one of the storage. even title was joe bottle lie are competent. both the word and competence has been brought forward and i am absolutely offended with that characterization. they shut down all the press conference, 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 of the 23rd letter a whole lot,
6:56 pm
public ability to listen to what's happening in the city. they're 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 compared to the stories you can see. you can see for yourself that there were until the truth the major news outlets have filed wall suits. do you want me to turn over police records related to the 1 october shooting? this is according to the only time which is one of the plane of 4, but doesn't mean 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 if one borrow excited to charge the nearly
6:57 pm
half a $1000000.00 to get this information, another legal maneuver on his part to delay the release of the information along to the las vegas metro police can not charge the media high fees to get records on the 1 october shooting at the behest of the court systems. we were mandated to provide body warrant camera footage and document footage as part of a public information request. the las vegas metropolitan police department started releasing data. the only bits at a time terrifying borrow, cherry picked which information you wanted to have come out before the election in which information was going to come out after the election. yeah, and there's not a new year in town where neighborhood is jill and bardo was re elected as las vegas metro is shera june of 2018. it wasn't until after that that he chose to release the videos of his officers cowering in the hallway, outside of steven products room instead of immediately entering to stop the
6:58 pm
possible threat of more people being shot out about hotel room window. i the problem of the death failing is that it forces them to admit what that number is like 3 or 2, which are the money supply numbers once the numbers got so scary, they stop reporting them. similarly with the debt ceiling kabuki theater, that happens every couple of years. they're just going to get rid of it won't even announce that number. it'll be impossible to find what the dat merican is. it'll just say a number sign for infinity. the other stuff. and then you need to talk to someone like you
6:59 pm
can be able to pay more than that for me when i'm in a position where you may need to go on it for me, which mobile don't want to just about what day to me. i was, i got to know how to choose. you can put an offer me quite a bit as long food. i want to tell you the truth. why would you need that? because that quote the
