we have an active shooter inside the fairgrounds. >> can you tell me where it's coming from? >> from mandalay bay. sam: four minutes in while the shots continue to rain down, police run toward the danger to help. >> we have multiple casualties. medical check. multiple casualties. sam four and a half minutes passed. bodies everywhere. police trying to figure out where the shots are coming from. >> we have a rifle deployed. mandalay bay. we are trying to see where the shots are coming from. if anyone can advise us they are coming from mandalay bay. >> it sounds like mandalay bay. we can't tell. >> six and a half minutes passed, the gunman still firing on the innocent. police close in but can't stop him. >> mandalay bay on the 31st floor. hear fire coming from one floor below us. >> we are running out of blankets. sam: nine minutes go by as the first responders dodge bullets and scoop up victims. a

police. >> we can't worry about victims. we need to stop the shooter before there is more victims. anybody has eyes on the shooter? >> the victim call continues. >> multiple victims. shots fired at the medical tent. we have one shot in the head. >> the chaos continued until well after midnight when the police finally announced the shooter was down. police say he killed himself before the s.w.a.t. team breached the door. at least one off-duty police officer was killed. but despite all of this chaos, officials across the country are praising those first responders for textbook response in an extremely difficult situation. at the live life, sam sween -- t the "live desk," sam sweeney. alison: no question. the festival was surrounded by tall buildings and down from mandalay bay. we have height restrictions here in d.c. it's similar to those buildings around nationals park. stephen tschida live in northwest d.c. where there are plenty of parades and festivals and we are talking today about some of the concerns

stephen: we spoke with several representatives of security companies. no unwith would tell us about specific steps they take to prevent an incident like we saw in las vegas. however, the people who attend those festivals and protests and the demonstrations like we have seen in front of the trump hotels tell us they feel somewhat protected because of the city's architecture. washington, d.c. is a city of gathering places. but few other than nats stadium sit in the shadow of taller buildings. >> i think that is a dangerous area. if you are going to launch an attack, go to high ground. stephen: this is location for massive marches and street festivals and it's among the most heavily police places on the planet. >> i have noticed there is a lot of police presence here. stephen: the unique characteristics of the nation's capital likely would filter an attack such as a mass shooting from on high in las vegas. no building here can surpass th

the closest thing to a 32nd floor is across the potomac in virginia. a distance which could make pinpointing a target in d.c. difficult. >> you just keep living. or they win. whether they are terrorists or sick, still, you just can't let it get to you. stephen: that is a sentiment a number of people shared. but with the incident of the terrorist attacks and the mass shootings in the united states, it's something which does weigh on their minds. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. nancy: thank you. still ahead in this hour we are talking to some people just back from las vegas and the festival about what happened there.

nonviolence and racial justice in which he said to retaliate with hate and bitterness would do nothing but intensify the hate in the world. >> the people of hate believe the neighbors are brothers and sisters. they have to act like it and set an example. >> preach love for your fellow man. in the shooter had embraced just that doctrine the shooting would not have occurred because he would have had love for people he shot. sam: the same spirit of violence that motivated the shooter in las vegas motivates many of the young men who shoot each other down in america cities. a belief that the only way to resolve problems is through violence. reporting live from the martin luther king memorial, i'm sam ford abc7 news. alison: thank you.

biggest questions that law enforcement officials had was about the guns that the killer used that they found in his hotel room there on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel. when you hear the gunshots, it doesn't sound like a semi-automatic weapon. it sounds like a fully automatic weapon. they are trying to piece through where they received the firearms that they had in the possession. we know that one local gun shoppe says they did in fact sell him legally some weapons. they don't know if any of those were used in this attack. they also share their grief for the nation and the victims in las vegas. nancy: lana zak joining us from las vegas. thank you. jonathan: every time you see the video it breaks your heart. i want to show you video of the crowds lining up to help. the word went out that blood was needed. lines stretching around
