as chief cassell mentioned, we have that set up at the convention center. we're fully operational right there. right now, excuse me. and we've met with multiple families, we're continuing to interview the families and the goal of that center is to provide families information -- >> you can hear the coroner here in las vegas, asking this governor to keep us in their thoughts and prayers. and there is no question this country has watched in horror what's played out here in las vegas overnight. i want to bring in our chief investigative correspondent brian ross. brian, now investigators must reconcile what they heard from the family of stephen paddock, what they discovered in that hotel room and now at the home. we learned for the first time, 18 additional firearms, explosives, electronic devices inside that home here in nevada. >> david, 37 firearms in all, explosives, thousands of rounds of ammunition, plus e electronic tronnic devices. and the family has been telling us that stephen was nothing but just a multimillionaire whose only passions were gambling a

greg cassel has been integral in the saving of lives. they paired up with our officers at the scene and i think their actions and heroic acts were instrumental in saving several hundred lives associated with this event. then you have our attorney general adam laxalt, he's brought forth his office to help with any associated prosecutions and you have aaron roush of the fbi. the fbi has been standing next to us from the very first minute and they are providing all the resources available of the federal government to help us in this endeavor. then you have cart county commission chairman steve sicilack. he has been instrumental in giving us resources to the first responders as far as refreshment and food and support of the entire county commission. i have been on the phone the entire night with the mayor, carolyn goodman, and she responded to umc to check on the patients and she is in the process of visiting other hospitals and showing the support of the city. then obviously we have our congressman rubin cuin. he is also in town to show us

earlier this morning i was joined by greg cassell. he's the fire chief here in clark county.edible effort by first responders. >> we were able to do what we needed to do. got in, got out. nobody got hurt. >> you were very close. there's a station right by here. they were able to race. and you told me, they were still hearing the gunshots when the first responders raced in to help. >> coming from a station about a mile away, right on las vegas boulevard. another station north of them, they were converging while the situation was going on. >> they're all paramedics. they're all trained to help in situations like this. what have they told you about what they encountered? >> they encountered a war field, a battlefield. we train for a lot of scenarios. we do a lot of integration with our law enforcement partners, rescue task forces. we take firefighters and cops and stick them together to go into hos tatile environments an get to the people and stop the bleeding. we never prepared anything like this. a person in an elevated position, shooting at people below. it was not a scenario

. >> and judge cassell ruled in 1973 that the actor attorney general violated -- >> after the fact. that wasn't what exercised everyone the day after the thing. >> you may direct the discussion and your remaining time, senator. >> thank you, mr. chairman. the overriding concern that i have whenever we're talking about this area is that bad things happen when we depart from the three-branch structure of the federal government. we have one branch that's in charge of executing and enforcing laws. i don't always like the way that every president chooses to exercise that power. i have frequently disagreed with presidents of both political parties and the way they've chosen to enforce or not enforce the law in certain areas. we do live in a time that i think echos back to us loudly that -- the fact that there are dire consequences from departing from that. those of us who serve in the senate serve in an institution that over the last 80 years has delegated away its lawmaking power. we don't really legislate anymore. instead we pass laws with broad aspirational statements. we say we should
