>> you've been seeing life press conference from las vegas getting update on that mass shooting investigation under way. welcome back to those of you coming back to fox5 news morning. we're now in the nip clock hour. the good day hour. we will continue our coverage of the breaking news situation las vegas mass shooting that left 50 plus people dead now up to 400 people said to be injured in this horrific shooting. >> let's get you up to speed on what we know right now. first all this whole thing start the 10:00 o'clock last night first calls came from for what was believed to be an active shooter around country music festival. they later realized those shots were being fired from the 3 32nd the floor of the mandalay bay hotel which is across the street and down from the festival grounds. we have learned that gunman 64-year-old stephen pad dom had a nevada address, mesquite nevada he apparently had been in that hotel for several days checked in on september 28th. police at this point have no idea what may have led him

this. >> they did find more than ten rivals in that room you can hear the sound those gunshots being fired from the top floor of that gold striped hotel. that's the mandalay bay. and again being fired across the street the high-powered weapons into a crowd of what they said 22,000 people attending a country music festival. >> that distance the mandalay bay to that concert venue some three football fields what some people are desc describing the distance. others saying this likes like something this man clearly planned out. ten miles found some and room. they are searching his home right now for more weapons an motive. larry lou danley they thought they had -- that apprehended her they're telling us this woman is actually out of the country. so the woman that they may have -- they took into custody not

that woman is connect but the mary due danley they have locate asked out of the country. stephen paddock had some of her identification and things of that nature with him. they do not know why burt it doesn't appear she was involved in this. i would imagine she's cooperating with police at this time. >> we'll get to our life time. >> we'll get t people obviously that are working all different angles of this store. bob barnard getting eyewitness accounts. melanie alnwick has the very latest on the investigation we're getting a few more bits and pieces who this gunman may have been. >> i want to pick up on what you guys were talking about. when police earlier were talking about marilou danley she had been located and so therefore they never quite said she was actually in custody. just that they were had located her and then of course we got that clarification now they located her out of the country. they do not believe she's involved in this. certainly lots of questions for her in terms of how much she knew about h

paddock. we also know that they are still evacuating people from that shooting scene. deaths 50 plus is what they are saying. so still evacuating people. still processing the dead on the scene and the las vegas coroner's office they're the one set up that one hotline number for people to call and see. this is the terrifying video here and the sound. [ gunfire ] >> rapid fire gunshots. coming from so far away that's what's really unbelievable about this. we've seen so many graphic images of people ducking for cover shielding each other with their own bodies to hopefully escape some of this gunfire but it kept coming over and over again about three times as is what people are saying. it really is just one of those perfect storm. you hate to use that term but so you had the outdoor concert venue so many thousands every people packed in there. this gunman able to just shoot at will until he was

it was jason aldeen on the stage closing out the route 91 harvest festival they do this festival every year. this the same venue they have the i heart music festival lot of people have heard about that one las vegas as well. we also see more ground level footage here people said they saw the muzzle flashes coming from the upper floors of the mandalay bay hotel. even some people who were closer saying they could see smoke coming from out that window. he must had to have shot out that window in order to do this because those -- i've stayed in mandalay bay a number of times. those windows no not open. the las vegas village is a 15-acre fair ground. concert goers were jumping gates and fences to trite to get to safety of this is swat teams on that floor. intond floor this looks like after they were able to get into that hotel room. they had use an explosive blast to get in. we also learned he killed himself prior to police getting inside that room. had been there for several

and we also heard from fox news sources it was smoke the smoke alarm went off in this room because there was so much gunfire in there and that is what helped hotel personnel direct police to exactly what room they needed to go and investigate. ten firearms found inside that room. police say it will be a long and tedious investigation. >> fascinating information, too. at the end -- >> one that we've never experienced in many valley. so what we're going to try to do is the best we can to get our first responders back on their feet and responding and conducting their proper investigation and assure that we have the safety of this community at heart. >> we did a quick background check on stephen paddock we're still trying to figure out what his connections are. we know that he has family in florida. so we're trying to work on that angle as well. we did not find any criminal records in our quick check, and that was pretty much confirmed by las vegas police

not too long ago saying that they have nothing, new york city information they said is derogatory. nothing negative came up about him a routine citation that came up several years ago. he's a manager of the apartment complex in mesquite and he did share an address with that person of interest that woman marilou danley. we also found that years ago he was an internal auditor fort company lockheed martin at this point that's pretty much about it. still history as to why he would do this. steve. >> i think it's fascinating information, mel, when you talk about how they were able to narrow down the search of gunman in the hotel room. when i woke up in the middle of the night my heart sank immediately when i saw the news first of all online i literally was in bed checking twitter and my first question was obviously how does this like this happen? who does this? knowing that area how in the world were they able to neutralize the situation so quickly and be able to find that person because that panic

hearing gunshots and having them rain down on such a large area you makes you wonder how they could have narrowed that town as to where those shots were coming from. >> that speaks to the power of social medial we know there were several police officers at the concert itself, and some of those perhaps could have helped in sort sort of being able to pinpoint exactly where that sound was coming from. no doubt people in the motel had to have heard that as well i think it was social media, people being in contact very quickly perhaps people called down to the front desk no out officers were in there relatively quickly. unfortunately not quickly enough as we said that from that venue shooting from that far away it's so different from scenes we've had before where the shooters are close enough that perhaps they could neutralized. people could see where the shots were coming from. if you imagine how far away that is, that really is just a horrific situation and

i don't know, if we'll ever know as to why he did this. >> all right. police tell me, the police are saying he took his own life before their officers made entry into that hotel room. which makes you wonder as well, mel, if he knew they were at the door or as they were coming into the door that part of the timeline i don't think is quiet clear yet. >> steve, there had been reports from the local newspaper that he even had cameras set up so he knew when people were closing in. >> also leading to what we've been saying. another experts talking about this. that this looked to be very thought out planned attack. it wasn't something that was randomly know. he had been in many room since september 28th. the lower sheriff saying he doesn't know how he allowed a housekeeper to come into the room. probably not. if he had up to ten rival in there and cameras set up. just a really heinous act carried out by the 64-year-old man. as you can imagine reaction pouring from all over from the president tweeting this morning. >> let's take look what the

to say earlier this morning. time right now is 9:10 on this monday morning. 6:00 10:00 a.m. in las vegas. this is what the president tweeted two hours ago. my warmest cond condolences and sympathies to the victims and family of the terrible las vegas shooting god bless you. the vice-president twe tweeted o victims families and loved ones affected by this sense tess violence ins have gay karen and i are praying for you and offering our love. continues to say the hearts and prayers of the american people are with you, you have our condolences and sympathies. >> to the garages of courageous fir responders, thank you for your acts of bravery. >> president and vice-president reactings are many people to this mass shooting situation in las vegas that left 50 plus people dead. among the dead police officers attending that concert across the street from the

bay. and some vegas police officers being treated right now among the injured. so a tragic situation all around people out for a night of fun. only for it to end in terror. >> we'll be back with much more of good day right after this. ♪ ♪♪

area and down the street as you heard lauren mention from las vegas. blocks away. we have some of the eyewitness accounts here including jake owen who was one of the performers at this concert. >> people started piling out towards the exit, and we all ran out down the street here towards the mgm. >> it sounded like machine guns. just didn't stop.

ducks. >> that's just horrible. to try to make any sense of it whatsoever, bob, and those are the questions that i think will continue to wonder as to what it was that could have set this person off. we'll talk with a security expert in just a minute to get more insight into perhaps some of the planning that went into this horrific attack. in the meantime, bob, thank you very much. we'll see bob in a little bit. let's get to christian leone. we had a couple of colleagues in las vegas at the time. our operations manager bill buyer was there. kristin leone was at the mc car ran airport in las vegas a block or so away. she landed in baltimore this morning. we saw your video that you posted. what was it that made you first aware as to were was happening in las vegas last night? >> reporter: well, steve, i was made aware around 11:00 o'clock last night. i saw that my flight kept

getting delayed and all of us were sitting there questioning what's going on. i'm at this point i wasn't the reporter out there. i was a civilian just wondering in my head lights wake taking so long and all of a sudden we get an announcement at the airport they're telling us there has been lock down and reports of a active shooter at mandalay bay. at spirit i could see across through my window i saw mandalay bay. i just learned looked outside. there were swarms of hem copters surrounding. you can see emergency vehicles. emergency crews just speeding by with their sirens. it was really to be honest it was very terrifying. i mean, everyone was just like i said not panicking but just wondering, okay, so what do we do now? and just obviously being in this business, and from my knowledge here, i wept to twitter riata way. went

and just, you know, following updates. i called my family everyone was starting to call their families as well we kind of gather together laying with our hats, our pillows, blankets, everything and just keeping each other updated on what we were hearing. and trying to essentially dissect what was true and what it wasn't much as you guys know, like, when we're hearing stuff that's happening, a lot of it is preliminary info. a lot of is essentially scanner traffic. so we're hearing stuff that's going on possible al shooter at the airport. possibly someone with an armed rifle at the with latch ya. all across the strip and so it was -- it was terrifying. i'll be completely honest with you it was pretty terrifying. >> i know in your early report you talked about having friends who were at that concert who were driving across fences trying get to safety. talk little bit about that and have you been in contact with those people? are they okay? >> reporter: yeah, i'll be honest i'm get emotional maybe i'm just tired it's kind of just hitting me right now. one of

concert. like i mentioned in the video, and she posted online because she was getting so many calls and texts. myself being one of them making sure she was okay and online on facebook she, you know, put that at one point, like, she thought that the gunfire, you know, the sounds of gunfire was part of the concert itself. and then she was saying when she realized that people were getting hurt and there was just bloodshed around her, that she, you know, she turned to whoever she saw first at that time it was couple. they just bolted. they cared and jumped over a fence and ended up hiding for theirs lives. hiding under a car, and until, you know, the scene was clear enough for them to escape a hotel. she escaped and was hiding at the mgm grand hotel isn't too

from that concert where it all took place. i want to call her right now. like i'm just, arc lost emotions going on and like i said, for one i could be maybe i'm exhausted for another this is horrible. i've never been so close to something without being on the job if that make sense, and i just -- i'm praying for everyone out there right now. it's just horrible. i'm glad she's safe as well. >> kristin, your emotions are well founded. i can't imagine either being that close to a scene when you're not covering it but we're glad your friend is okay. go and find out exactly how she's doing and you take care of yourself, too. i know the emotions are running high and we thank you for talking with us this morning. go get some rest. take care of yourself. thanks, kristin. >> we'll check in with security expert jack at a mark yo after the break and find out about this type of a tack. could could lead someone to do it and how someone could pull off an tack like this tt'

i'll in the blanks for what he was saying there. basically saying that look we don't know at this point why this gunman may have done this. but jack has a back ground as obviously a national security. and one of the things they look for when it comes to terror attacks would some type of certain ideology as opposed to someone perhaps who was upset with a spouse or a job situation or something like that that could have then triggered a mass instance like this and at this point, we don't know what it was that may have set this person off. we may never know unless they find something at his house that might relate to some type of ideology at that point they reclassify this aster roar attack. from the research that jack has done so far into this overnight law enforcement according to jack who's again a terror expert have not found anything relating him to any type of it will or religious ideology that may have spark this tack. that may change because police are just now starting to search of his home and his vehicles to see if they can find any type of manifesto or

in our country it happened just over year ago june of 2016. when 29-year-old omar mateen opened fire at the club filling 49 people and wounding more than 50. mateen was killed during fire fight with police. ten and a half years ago, the nation mourned for virginia tech. when 23-year-old student chow entered a building on the blacksburg campus opened fire and killed 32 people and injured 23. he then also killed himself. in december of 2012, another dam lanza walked into sandy hook elementary in new up to connecticut killed 26 people mostly children before he killed himself also killed his mother n199135-year-old george hin nard opened fire with a handgun in calene texas he loaded and emptied his gun self times leaving 23 people dead. then he killed himself. and while those are the top five, debtor lee yesterday mass shootings we all know there are a lot more. all we have

the movie theater in aurora, colorado and right here at home the washington navy yard. what is one of the scariest things is this is a time we're talking about. 12, 13 people killed up to 50. but when you define mass sh shooting, a mass shooting is when four people are killed at one time. >> four. >> four. that happens weekly in this country. >> absolutely. >> u.s. does have more mass shooting than any other country on the globe. >> and the question people are ask what can we do to stop this. >> i know there's a lot of outrage on twitter miss morning stop with the prayers take action instead. i think both are needed. prayer is never hurts but we see this over and over again and the question i have from this one is what would prompt a 64-year-old man to take refuge in hotel and aim his gun i was a crowded field of people enjoying a concert? what would make your mind tick in that ■way.

>> perhaps more disturbing the fact he was there since last thursday in the hotel. ten rivals found in his room. so we talk about the taking your suitcase, he had to go down and take his suitcase, fill his suitcase self times. was it the situation where those automatic rifles were loaded and he simply just finish one, sat one down and picked up the next. it's going retarget and reinstitute the discussion about gun control and start the discussion about mental health where are we in that in our country? i think, upping, people fall on all signed of both of those issue but i think it's fair to say we probably all fall on the side of the fact that we clearly are at a bad place and something needs to be done. the answer obviously is difficult. >> when you can list mass shootings back to back to back, it pisses me off. >> okay. it pisses me off. >> it angers, makes me sad and all those emotions are linke

this perpetrator does obviously operational plan. he decided to get him set on the 32nd floor of the mapped lay bay so he had a advantage point to shoot people. that indicates there was a lot of planning on this operation. does it mean the man is part of a terrorist group? we don't know that yet. does it mean the man is mentally dee ranged? again, we're just not sure. we just know he put together an operation unfortunately he carry it out with devastating effect. >> certainly did. jack tomarchio, national security and and terror expert joining us live on the phone this morning. we thank you for that inn sigh. still so many unanswered questions here about what motivated this man to carry out this horrible horrible attack. >> i'm sure you heard the he had had lines by now. more than 50 deviled more 400 injured. we'll share the details with you at the top of the 10:00. keep it right here because president trump is going to spea

>> whenning that like this happens of this magnitude, there's always the question of how do we talk about it with our kids especially? do we talk about it? how does it change our lives moving forward in terms of feeling safe, going to the next concert that we might want to tend? michael magill is out of kansas city, missouri youth and family expert, and joins us via skype this morning. michael, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. we really appreciate it. >> absolutely good morning to you d.c. thank you for having me. >> where do you begin when you want to talk about this with your kids? >> you know i spent so many years as school counseling dealing with mediations and conflict and violence when i talk to young people do you trauma that's really what we're talking about it's not just violence, this is traumatic. because when you are expe expec- when you go to places and you realize we're not safe. i tell parents to explain it's okay not to be

it's okay to tell the truth and say, i am afraid, i am worried, i am scared. the issue that so many people have they try to avoid these difficult conversations and when these thing happens people don't know what to do. it's okay not to be okay number one to express here's what's happening here. i'm afraid. my main job is to keep you safe, but i just don't know how to do that in a messy world that we live in. it's okay to acknowledge that number one. >> obviously everybody michael on different level when it comes to understanding of this and everybody is kids are on a different level. underring this. can you do any type of break down perhaps age group as to how you might address it for say the very young versus the young child versus the add list sent child and how you might go about handling the situation. big thing are circles of grace. for example, if you are an elementary school student it's obviously not soak to show them a video of a school shooting or something

okay to have small conversations and you show them, upping, hey, right now mommy is sad. let me explain to you what's happening in the world. someone got hurt and someone died. because the issue was that young people really haven't really grasped the full concept of death. and so often it's okay to talk to them and say, hey, someone got hurt. someone died. you know they're not with us any more. let's take time to write their familiar al letter and explain how we mourn for them. that's one thing for young people. for older teenagers the biggest things about teens they think they are invisible. they think these things don't happen. so what i recommend is families with teenagers actually do sit at the news and do watch conferences don watch videos on these things that are happening and explain, this is what can happen just from being a grown up and so here things i want you to do to hopefully keep yourself safe. the reality we cannot always keep our kids safe from these

is messy, the world is trouble m the world is chaotic but here are things do you care to hopefully avoid some situations. does that make sense. >> it does make sense. i have question for you from two different sides. it's okay to not be okay. it's okay for me to say to my child, okay, mommy is afraid. i can't keep you safe everywhere. >> yes. >> it's okay for my child to say, mommy, this makes me af afraid. but from both sides, michael, how do we not let that fear get the best ofs? how do i not just wrap my arms around my child and keep him in a bubble and say you can never go anywhere. how does he not be so afraid he doesn't want to go anywhere? >> absolutely. so it's all about balance. so -- in fact, what we call good secure attachment starts by you actually wrapping your arms around your son and even crying with him and loving on him and saying again, these are the realities that are happening in life, and, yes, my job is to keep you safe but

be able to, however, here's what we do know based on traumas that people who are able to kind of overcome and be able to we wall more resilient tend to have some sort of a social and spiritual system. not so much do you go to church. people have some level of a connection to either medication, yoga, a higher power, a religious institution, something like that. people who are connected to a spiritual, connected to something they need to be higher than them will become more resilient. it is okay to again like like you said you hold your baby and you talk to him and you tell him i love you and let's dissect what we're seeing here. because they'll a lot of questions were you the reality we won't always have a lot of answers but to be honest, to be truthful to, explain, i don't have the answers. i don't know how to keep you safe. what i can do is know for example when these thi

desensitized that's why it's so important for families to regularly engage and let our kids know these behaviors are not okay. these type of behaviors and to have conversations with kids on the impact of stress. i don't know the victim. i really don't know. we don't know what triggered him to do what he did. but we do know, though, people sometimes pop off because of mental illness. because of stress. because of all those different types of quadrants that go on in the brain and the hippo campus. we know that to be true. however, what we can start to do is have real honest conversations with people who are not okay. and give them room to express that they are not okay. those are some important tips and tools i give people all the of time. be truthful. express you're into the okay and give kids room to agree and vent and talk about those issues there is no hefty solution we cannot stop this. we just cannot stop them. we also can't keep our kids in from experiencing life. if we do we're cutti

from joy and they need to have joy. >> they need joy. >> so much devastation. good we all need joy. go home and get that hug and let our families hug us back, right. >> yes. let this be a lesson that time is valuable. so what will you do every moment you have with your family. >> every day is a gift. every day is a gift. >> michael, thank you so much. we really appreciate the wonderful food for thought that you've given on this very dull morning. >> absolutely. >> 10:23. thanks very much. in one of the more bizarre twists of this day so far, take this with grain of salt, but this is what the associated press is reporting. the islamic state is now claiming that the las vegas gunman converted to islam moss ago. keep in mind, us it las ma'am mick says it that evidence to support that claim taking advantage to the opportunity to put their names out in connection with the horrific attack that goes against everything police have said at this point. just put

♪ [ gunfire ] >> those are the sounds of rapid gunfire that opened up during an open air concert in las vegas on the strip. the gunman on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel and casino just unloading on the some 22,000 that is were there just to enjoy a jason aldeen concert when all was said and done 50 plus people lost their lives. 400 plus people were injured. >> terrible situation. we're trying to get more more than information from the scene as to what may have set this gunman off to do this obviously he had planned this for sometime what all appearances are much he stayed in that hotel, his fourth night in the hotel when the shooting happen. we have had couple of our colleagues who were in las vegas at the time reporter christine leone was at the

realize what was happening at the time until short time later the airport is really less than mile from that shooting scene. our operations manager bill buyer was just a short distance away he was close enough to hear the shots. >> we checked in with both of them this morning. both of them are fine first and for most. we talk with bill earlier, and here's som some of what he had o say the about what he witnessed. >> hard to believe it was stampede. more likely. again, conjecture. i think it was from the three magazines that this guy loaded up, were what we saw here, you know, right after this thing had taken taken place, you know, just people trying to get to their loved ones trying to just get away from the scene crying, you know, it was -- it's been chaotic and tragic, and just crazy here.

like they didn't know what to do. right now at the mgm hotel for the people who couldn't get back to their hotels, they've given them blankets and pillows and they're ca camped out downstair. >> excuse me. i'm a little tired. they're all camped out downstairs. >> bill buyer our operations manager who happened to be in vegas and was staying about two hotels up from the mandalay, and he was in mgm. >> he's on the other side. the concert area if you think about it the mandalay bay was here. the concert area was across the street and bill was in the hotel right up from there. look the hotels in las vegas are huge. each one is search al city block in itself. to be two hotels away a two block. the area where all these people were shot would have been -- there's a map. would have been about city block away. so the gold hotel at the bottom left that's mandalay bay with three sides to

and then if you look where that arrow was pointing route 91 festival concert venue that green area is the top of the stage and the area that is kind of looks like concrete where the people would have been. 22,000 people there. so you can see how far he had to shoot essentially across las vegas boulevard and down into the next venue that's about a solid city block away from where the sh shots were fired to where the bullets landed and bill was about the same distance away on the other end. >> there's been a lot of talk about the originally the gun that he used, you know, people say it was an automatic weapon, but after the most recent press conference when the sheriff came out he said they found ten rival in the room that stephen paddock was staying in and conjecture they were all loaded, automatic weapon you hold your finger on the trigger until it unloads the magazine or you take your finger off. perhaps he just unloaded sat one down, picked up another and then went at it

we do know like you sid steve he checked into that hotel on september 28th last thursday and then was there for some four days before he finally decided to do what he did last night start aig round 10:00 o'clock but we dough known his mindset. we do know there have been people who have spoken to his brother in florida. his brother said we as a family are dumb found. my brother have does not have any mental illness. we don't know why did he did ice why this hammed. the ap reporting the islamic state are saying converted to islam. experts are talking about there's any evidence he had any link to any terrorist tune. >> isis trying to a notch their name do it. in next to the ten plus rifles that were there and well had the had the bikerof

that will been shot out. we're waiting for the president to speak. in addition to the ten rifles that were found there, all of the am musician local media in lavas reporting there were cameras set up pointing down the hallway so he can tell when police were coming in. almost a item and police claim he took his own life as they either they go to the room been they go to the go to the room makes you think he was going to try to couldn't the kearn nav up until the last possible incident until he saw there were police about to enter his room and take himself out. >> i think the sheriff also reported there was paper work that he had purchased a couple hand guns prior -- within the last couple of days so there was also some talk that maybe he shot himself with a handgun before they breach the door and went and we talk earlier about them -- you talk about the hotel being the size of a city block. you know, and there was all this confusion how he was shooting from so far away how do you even discern exactly what room he's in, where he is, but that there was so much

that there was so much smoke that it actually set off the smoke alarms and that's how they were they were able to narrow in on his exact room. take a quick break and come back with the president as soon as he starts speaking and we'll come back and take in his remark as they happen. we'll sneak in a quick break.

sometimes there's a lot to get through as far as briefing the president on exactly what he needs to say or what actions need to happen. we're expecting this to happen momentarily. now i will say this. not trying to politicize this but every time we have this -- something like this that happens with mass shooting the question comes -- gun question comes up. reason we're saying this, there are two at least two gun votes schedule in the house this week much this was supposed to be after representative steve scalise came back last week had a happy homecoming back to congress after he had been knot shot in alexandria earlier this summer with with him back the house was scheduled to vote on several gun issues this week. we don't know if that vote will be delayed, taken down, rescheduled but the reason we mention this is because the political experts we have talked to said a lot of it might depend quiting frank wal the president says he when speaks in a few minutes and which take he may have on this topic that may dictate where congress goes with these at least these votes

>> and we should also say as the role of the president of the united states, you are also the comforter in chief. hopefully he'll have some words to help sooth the nation who is in shock this morning and i mean i say shock in the fact that, you know, even though we get used to mass shootings, it's still hard to wrap your head around the fact that one would just blatantly open fire on people that were simply enjoying a concert and now we have a death toll that stands at 50 plus and we're saying this is the worst deadly mass shooting in the history of our country. so people are hurting, and people are angry so it will be interesting to see the words the president chooses to use. we should also tell you this speaker of the house senator paul ryan has ordered that all the flag at the capitol be flown at half staff for all of the victims of the las vegas tra tragedy. >> on the right you're seeing they have a chopper up in las vegas the side the mandalay bay hotel if you can kd

and she's in the newsroom now and joins us with more. anything new, mel? >> nothing new at this point. i think what's most striking they are still 12 hours now after this terrible shooting they are still working to get medical attention to all those on the ground who need it. you mentioned did the suspect stephen paddock check in under his own name. i believe police said did he not check in using the identity of his roommate the woman considered to be person of interest. we are told that, of course, she was located her name is mary lee you todayly located out of the country but that her den had been found in his hotel room. which is why officially they wanted to locate her. obviously they're going to have a lot questions for her as far as what did she know about her roommate. they did share an address together in las

just outside of las vegas but we don't know much more about their relationship. the video you're looking at a number of videos continue to come in to us from the instagram and from other social media sites facebook as well here you can see police down the las vegas strip what horrifying site this must be for people who were even just not going to the concert itself but on that strip wouldn'ting what was going on everything from the tropicana down to mandalay bay was on lock down. and then the video from inside the hotel. i found that also to be very striking. now, these are swat teams after the threat had been neutralized as they like to say. they went in there and i know you guys mentioned this i think that's really telling as well people obviously saw it. they said they saw what look like muzzle fire from outside and then inside the police went into these rooms. i know they were telling folk they needed everybody to stay back. that they were going to have

blow the door down and see whether the suspect was alive or not, and indeed they found that he had killed himself before they got in. still so many questions, though, as far as why he would do this. our colleagues in orlando did interview stephen paddock's brother he said that they're just absolutely devastated you can see it op his face. just in shock. telling us their brother has no history of hem illness he we were to college and started a business and retired to las vegas because he liked gambling. we also can tell you based on a quick background check of him we found no criminal history and then investigators did back that up as well saying they found nothing as they said derogatory only just a minor infraction several years ago our back ground check showed him listed as an apartment manager in mesquite, nevada where he

we once found he work as an auditor for lockheed martin. but other than that, really so much of a mystery. i'm curious. he says he likes to gamble. i don't know which hotels -- which cass sheen scene notice perhaps at a regular at. players club, that is the card that his -- i don't know if we're calling her a companion roar roommate marilou danley. sources had said they found her player's club card. player's connected with the n. good m. maybe he has some familiarity with that or perhaps that's his roommate had familiarity with. lots more investigation to do that. >> if he has any relationship these casinos in terms of player's club, frequent cards, they know a of information about the weeble that puerto rico their casinos. >> absolutely they do. >> i was interested. i never did hear and maybe it did come out through the course of the morning they were originally looking for the two cars registered to him and they were located. did they ever say where those

>> did he and that expound on that. i don't think people asked too much information about those a lot of people were just like those are the vehicle. what about the people? so i'm sure that that will get followed up op we'll check with las vegas police sources. >> interested to see if they found more guns or ammunition in those vehicles. >> melanie roarrd earlier obviously had secured a search warn are to the house his house was some distance away in mesquite, never n. 70 miles or so northeast of las vegas and we have not heard of anything they may have found at that home as well. only at this point some of the items they found end side that hotel room ten rivals thus the am musician. we're waiting for the president to speak. little delayed at the white house. hoping to speak at 10:30. i just check the white house schedule and it still says 10:30. it's the president's time. we'll bring it to you live. fit happens in the next two minutes, w
