Chaos of Las Vegas massacre seen in newly released police bodycam footage

Yahoo News

Police body camera video released Tuesday night at a press conference has revealed the sheer chaos of the Las Vegas mass shooting as officers tried to figure out the location of the gunman and shuttle people to safety.

Amid sirens and sounds of gunfire and screams, people yelled, “They’re shooting right at us,” while officers shouted, “Go that way!”  

Police said Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old resident of Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire on a music festival crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing 58 people and injuring 530 others.

Officials revealed on Tuesday that Paddock had cameras set up inside and outside of his hotel room.

“I anticipate he was looking for anybody coming to take him into custody,” Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said. Sources told ABC News the suspect utilized at least one camera outside the room possibly to monitor approaching police. Lombardo said there was a camera on a service cart in the hallway.

FBI took all digital and electronic evidence into custody,” Lombardo added.

The gunfire sent more than 22,000 country music fans attending the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival across the street from Mandalay Bay scrambling for their lives. Some hid, some ran and others sprang into action, aiding the injured and helping people to safety.

Jason Aldean was the headliner of Sunday night’s concert; video showed him rushing off the stage amid the gunfire.

Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said at Tuesday night’s press conference that the shooting spanned between nine and 11 minutes, with the first reports of shots beginning at 10:08 p.m. and the final shots being fired at 10:19 p.m.

The Las Vegas Police Department said authorities responded to a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, where Paddock was found dead. Authorities said they believe Paddock killed himself prior to police entry.

ABC News on Tuesday obtained images from inside Paddock’s hotel room at Mandalay Bay. A body is partially visibly in one of the photos; that is believed to be Paddock.

As the nation mourns what has become the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, authorities are working to piece together information about the suspected shooter for clues on what may have sparked the rampage.

The motive behind the shooting remains unclear. “I can’t get into the mind of a psychopath,” Lombardo said at a news conference Monday.

    1. You are wrong to assume that like I was. There are dead people and injured. The video is on live leak. A guy going around to victims and dead people looking for live people to get help to.
      My co-host lives there and his family have told him they saw the shit with their own eyes. So I know it was real. Fals flag..yes. Hoax…no.
      I saw the video in another video and I am looking for it right now.

    2. Look at this clip from IWB site. Shows guy helping wounded. He doesn’t seem to be acting. IMO the victims not crisis actors. Also the audio from taxi clip that Henry or Laura at admin posted testerday reveals concert goers in the taxi freaked out saying there were dead people. IMO, I think the shooting really did happen, but not Paddock, he had #13 tattooed on his neck, the Zero Hedge article showing his alleged dead body shows no tattoo.

  1. they keep saying this is the worst act of terrorism or loss of life due to the use of guns

    umm , I think they forgot history
    Has the Wounded Knee massacre been forgotten? Nearly 300 innocent Indians gunned down by the U.S. Government!

    all 300 dead, and guess who the problem was? not some patsy .. the dam US government was the perp, makes me believe this isnt probably any different

    1. The “Powers” are doing everything in their power to deflect the truth. As the days pass, their reach is diminishing to the point that the truth is starting to show It’s head.

      It took two days to put the pieces together here. Obviously, more than one shooter, and zero proof the fall guy was the real perp. Anybody with a couple molecules inside their head can put this together.

  2. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was gunned down for his involvement in the investigation of high level human trafficking suspects, better known as the pedophile network…..Everyone will need to be armed when it comes time to take these kiddie fuçkers down!!!

    notice how his stance on our 2nd amendment has changed .. he’s aware
