The hero Mandalay Bay security guard who vanished hours before he was due to give interviews with major TV networks will now break his silence on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Jesus Campos, who was shot and wounded in the Las Vegas massacre, disappeared from the public eye last week ahead of several TV interviews, including with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
But DeGeneres has now confirmed that the security guard sat down with her for a pre-taped interview that is set to air on Wednesday.
‘Tomorrow, the first people to encounter the Las Vegas shooter are here – security guard Jesus Campos and building engineer Stephen Schuck,’ DeGeneres tweeted late Tuesday night.
It comes after police spoke out saying Campos was a victim and he was not a missing person after questions were raised about his disappearance.
Campos was shot and wounded by Stephen Paddock when he went to investigate the gunshots coming from the 32nd floor suite in the Mandalay Bay hotel.
Campos spoke with police after the ordeal but hasn’t yet spoken publicly about the October 1 massacre.
Questions have been raised about his whereabouts but police told Fox News on Tuesday that he was not considered a missing person.
‘He is a victim in this and we don’t discuss victims,’ Las Vegas Police officer Larry Hadfield said.
A spokeswoman for MGM Resorts International, the casino company that owns the Mandalay Bay hotel, said Campos was safe but that he wanted people to respect his privacy.
They added that Campos will tell his story when he is ready.
It comes after a representative for Campos’ union said he had prepared last Thursday for TV appearances but went to a health clinic instead.
Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America leader David Hickey said Tuesday he last heard about Jesus Campos’ whereabouts from a union member who messaged that he was with Campos at the clinic.
Hickey says the same union member sent messages on Friday saying he was with Campos but not saying where.
Campos canceled on Fox News’ Sean Hannity as well as CBS, CNN, ABC and NBC. He was pictured for the first time since the massacre on October 10 as he accepted an award from his union.
His disappearance came just hours after MGM Resorts International disputed the official timeline of the shooting.
They rejected any suggestion that hotel staff delayed calling 911 for six minutes after Paddock opened fire.
The latest chronology raised a series of questions about whether officers were given information quickly enough to possibly have a chance to take out the gunman before he could carry out the bloodshed.
But according to resort officials, it was no more than 40 seconds between the time Campos used his walkie talkie to call for help and Paddock opening fire on the crowd from two windows in his suite.
Earlier in the investigation, police had said that Paddock shot through his door and wounded Campos after the guard distracted him from firing on the crowd out the windows.

Watch it just be him ,coming out of the closet
Hope you got paid a lot for your bullshit story
Because if you tell any truths , you won’t get to spend a dime of it
Of all shows Degenerates show?
Now I know this is all been a set up
Because with as much as this event is about
You would be getting interviewed by an authoritative group
And than gag ordered again
And possibly swept away for ” your protection “
I AGREE WITH EOTS…. WATCH HIM, INSTEAD OF GIVING A STORY ON THE VEGAS SHOOTING, WATCH AS HE DECLARES THAT “HE IS A WOMAN”, AND ELLENS NEW LIVE IN LOVER……….
This is great news. I’m sure Ellen, TPTB, the union, some Irishman named Schuck and a “handled” Campost will clear everything up.
EXACTLY! Perhaps they’ll close the show with a super pumped performance by 8 year old internet sensation drag queen lactatia, for good measure.
I’ve heard that he is not registered as a guard in LV, is this confirmed anywhere? If so, that in itself invalidates the individual…!!
Here look for yourself
