Lemon in las vegas. Cnn tonight starts right now. Anderson, thank you very much. Our breaking news, of course, this worst massacre in modern american history. Were going to take you now to the press conference happening. Lets listen in. I want to emphasize we believe paddock is solely responsible for this heinous act. We are aware of the rumors outside of the media and also on social media that there was more than one assailant. We have no information or evidence to support that theory or that rumor. We believe it was only one shooter and that was Stephen Paddock. We are doing a thorough investigation and only want to provide what is accurate to you. We will only give information that we have vetted and know to be true. I will not be speaking and answering questions on issues that we do not have the facts yet. The latest estimate on the number of injured still stands at 527, which the sheriff put out earlier this afternoon. We have 59 that are deceased. Our homicide detectives are working around the clock to process the scene as soon as they possible can. We understand that there are personal belongings that people need to retrieve from all of the locations. Once we come close to clearing that scene, we will provide more information for how people can get their belongings. And we are coordinating that with the local hotels and with the venue so that we can can get their belongings back. The Family Resource center will play a role in that task. We want people to know that the center is up and running at the Las Vegas Convention center and we are asking families and friends who live in las vegas to physically go to that center, which is located at the convention center. The hotline number has changed due to some technical difficulties. That new number is 18005369488. Again, thats 18005369488. The number that we gave out previously is no longer in use. However, if you are a local person from las vegas and are looking for a loved one, please go down to the Family Resource center in person. That is the best way to get assistance. I also want to comment on some steps that mgm resorts has taken. They are coordinating rooms at no cost at the bell ago for families that are coming into town. They are also coordinating travel through southwest airlines. They are coordinating crisis counselors for people that worked as vendors, kpees and guests, and the American Red Cross has been given space over at circus circus to establish a headquarters for the local community until they get some National Assets in. We have had an overwhelming turn out of people standing in line to donate blood at the united bloos services and at umc,but they cannot take any more people right now. We are asking that you not go down there until at least tomorrow afternoon if not the next day. They have enough supply to last them for the foreseeable future. People are also donating food in large amounts. While the gesture is pleeshtd, metro does not have the ability to coordinate dliry or distribution, and were asking that if you are going to donate food, do so with either bottled water or sealed food to the red cross at 1771 east fla ming goe. There have been a remarkable amount of support for our community. We have been asked by concerned individuals from near and far asking how they can help. At this time the go fund me page set up for the victims set up is the best mechanism to show your support to the victims. We do not anticipate having any further updates tonight. When we do have further updates tomorrow, we will send out a press release notifying you that we will be giving more information. These past 20 hours have been trying and we know we have a long way to go. Im proud of the courageous and rez yaens displayed by all our First Responders on this event. I also want to appeal to you and the public and the media. We know of no known threats in our las vegas area. If we did know of anything that could harm the safety and security of our citizens, we would tell you that and our department would act upon that. Please allow our department the ability to do what they do best, investigate crime and keep you safe. With that i will turn it over to commissioner sis lack, who has a few words. I just have a few words id like to say. Again, ive had several of these today and its been a long, long day for a lot of us. But i just left mr. Jim i have a special thank you to two groups that we had our First Responders, obviously our medical personnel responded. But for the fact of the great work done by the men and women of metro and the security at mandalay bay, we would have lost hundreds if not thousands of more lives. They were able to triangulate and locate that room and get people in there and saved countless lives. And for that we will be eternalel grateful for the work that you did. And in conjunction with mgm. We did set up with the sheriff a go fund me campaign and i appreciate todd saying something. As when i walked in here we have received in excess of 30,000 donations exceeding 2. 2 million. When we started it we set the goal at 5 hundred,000. We got to a 100,000 and one individual called and said i will get you to your goal. And he donated 400,000. That individual was anonymous until now. He is said that we could release his name. It was steven clue beck donated 400,000 to support this community. We ask you all to support our community. And again, like to ask you next time you see one of our First Responders, whether it be metro, fire, or what have you, tell them thank you because we owe them an eternal debt of gratitude for what they did. And ive got some other figures. Congressm congressman tightous. Well, thank you very much. This horrendous act of evil happened right in the heart of district one, which i am honored to represent. The whole day has revolved around that act. Its been police briefings and talking with the fbi, visiting hospitals, all the things that kind of are associated with an act of war. But we also heard stories of individual heroism, people helping others through the gate, over the fence, shielding their bodies, standing in line for blood. Those are the kind of stories that we need to focus on. Its so appropriate that weve ended the day with an Ecumenical Church service on the strip where we gathered to grieve for the fallen, to thank our wonderful First Responders who have done so much in coordination with each other and just to hold hands with family and friends, to cry and to recommit ourselves to do all that we can so that this never happens again. It has been a long day as you can imagine for everybody here, and like my colleagues and everyone here in Southern Nevada have to thank the First Responders, our Law Enforcement, the medical community here, you are emts, everybody who ran into the face of danger to save lives. Many lives that families now are concerned about those who have been injured, families now who are dealing with loss of loved ones, i too had a niece there last night at the event. She was one of the lucky ones who made it home, but there are many who are still injured and who did not. And now it is time for all of our community to come together to bring comfort and relief to these families. I know for all of us this week is going to be about those families, those who have been injured and how we can do everything in this community to continue to support them as well as supporting the Ongoing Investigation that needs to take place independent, let them do their job. There will be plenty of time to secondguess. There will be plenty of time to play politics, but right now is the time to come together as a community and support and comfort one another. Lieutenant governor of the state of nevada and on behalf of the state of nevada i want to thank everyone who has already been thanked repeatedly today and were going to continue to thank them over and over again. Everyone who ran towards the bulgts when everybody else was running away from the bullets. Those who met the victims at the hospitals. I spent most of my day at the hospitals and as a matter of fact i just came from sunrise. Sunrise took care of 214 of the victims and performed over 90 emergency surgeries. Just extraordinary efforts on behalf of our medical community. They handled this tragedy with competence and character. And were very, very proud of them, as nevadans. I told you last time that umc and Spring Valley performed admirably. I spent some time as well. If you arrived at any of those facilities as well. Its just the best of the nevada spirit. The best of our community. Las vegas has been my home, born and raised here. Raised six children here. And what weve seen today at the close of this day is the best and in the highest traditions of las vegas answer and nevadans and americans. Youve heard story after story when you meet these victims about their Guardian Angels at that tragic site who carried them out of harms way or took them to the hospital in vehicles. Its justin inspiring in a day that has been depressing and dark, its inspiring to see what americans do for each other. And so to all of those who have helped today, i say good bless you and well get through this together with our faith in god and the american and the nevadan spirit that we have. Thank you. Ill take a small number of questions and then well end it for tonight. Sheriff, you mentioned 23 guns. Are they all rifles and how do we explain the difference well, like the sheriff explained earlier today and as i explained moments ago, our information as the Investigation Continues can change. We put out the information that we have at that moment in time and sometimes those numbers will change. But there are 23 firearms at mandalay bay and 19 out of his house. The investigation is it a Homicide Investigation . Are detectives involved . Is this case putting a strain on your manpower . So i can tell you that its a Homicide Investigation, and homicide is investigating that specific aspect of the crime. We have every resource available on our agency working, and i can assure you that the sheriff has made a point that we have resources, both in the neighborhoods and around the community, as well as the Las Vegas Strip and downtown, that has not diminished. It actually has increased. Hold on. One at a time because pardon me . The vinl i have not personally gone through the entire list of victims, so i cant answer that question for you right now. Hold on. The majority of people when gunfire happens if last night jason aldean had managed to say to the crowd take cover before he ran off stage, do you think he could have saved lives . I dont know. I wasnt there. I dont know what jason aldean was thinking when he was on the stage. I do know that a common thing is is when people hear gunfire they run for cover, right. Thats a natural human instinct. I dont know what he said before he left the stage, but the investigation will bring that out. How long did paddock shoot for . Was it continuous or did he stop . I mean, how long do you think the shooting actually lasted . We are still putting that timeline together. Sheriff, can you give us a timeline of his movements . When did he shoot the Security Guard and did he continue shooting out of the window after he shot the Security Guard . I know he shot the one Security Guard up on the 32nd floor, but i dont know if he continued to shoot after that or n not. Hold on. Can you tell us his movements 24, 48, 72 hours prior to the shooting. Thats what our detectives and our partners are working on right now. It will be some time before we can give you that in a Chronological Order and with an amount of confidence that its accurate. Have you any progress at all on his motivation . There were reports that he was sending money to philippines. Like i said, were hunting down and tracing down every single clue that we can get in his background. Until we confirm all of those things that are floating around out in the media and in social media, i cant comment on that. Two questions. Any timetable for when youre going to get those hard drives opened up in mesquite . Secondly, did he specifically request that hotel room at mandalay bay . No, we dont have a fespecif timeline. I dont know that yet. Did he have a computer in the room . We did see several pieces of media about a computer. Have you examined it . Does it give you anything about motive . Its ongoing. One other question. After the raid in reno, can you tell us anything about what was taken there . Were there any weapons, explosives, computers or clues to give us something about motive . Nothing that i can speak of and that scene is still being resolved as we speak. Let me let me emphasize something to you that might help. I know that you are all very eager to find out exactly what his motive was or what was going through his head or what he was doing up to two weeks ago. I promise you the sheriff will provide that information when we have confirmed it. It doesnt make sense for us to put out information that is not accurate and isnt timely and reliable. So please have some patience with our agency and our partners to get you that information. I promise you we will provide it to you when the time comes. Guns into the hotel . What was your question, sir . What time exactly did the get breached . I dont have do you guys have that . No. I imagine someone must have that. We have a time log of everything that we to, and thats what the detectives will be putting together as part of their investigation is from start to finish and including that entire timeline. So well probably have more information on that probably tomorrow. So im going to take two more questions and then were going to be done for the night. The Family Resource center, is that just for families who are looking for loved ones or is that where they go if they need help . They can go there for help and resources, okay. If theyre looking for a loved one or a friend and theyre in town they need to go there. Its at the convention center. They also have that 800 number that they can call ahead of time. Specifically about that search warrant, the additional one that you guys executed today. You were originally saying northern nevada. Can you now confirm that that was in reno . Yes. No. But i can tell you that thats part of our investigation of determining just that. Obviously every hotel has video. Im sure that were going back and reviewing every ounce of that, so. Any more guns in the investigation . Is that possible that that number will go up even farther . I would say that in the areas that weve been so far, i would say no, but until were done with the investigation, im not going to marry to that number. Last one. At the hotel . Not other than what the sheriff put out today at 4 00 or 3 00. Weve got all the guns out of the suite, the two rooms from which yes. So youre confident that you have all the guns. Im confident in the number that i gave you of what we have recover recovered. All right. Thats it. Thank you. All right. Officials are here in las vegas holding a press conference, a briefing finishing up right there. A number of things came out of it, again, theyre looking for they believe its just one shooter now. Theyre saying there is no threat. They dont believe theres any threat to las vegas right now. One shooter, of course the shooter is deceased. 59 people dead. 527 injured. People their personal belongings are still on that site and theyre trying to work as fast as they can to get them their personal belongings. But here is the interesting thing that came out of that. The number of guns that they found at his home inside the mandalay bay and that room on the 32nd, its now gone up to 42. 23 at mandalay bay, 19 in his home. And also announcing that someone gave 400,000, a steven clue beck, who is a chairman and ceo of diamond resorts. I want to turn now to some Law Enforcement experts to talk about what we just heard in that press conference. Thank you both gentlemen for joining me. John, what did you think of the press conference . What did you get out of that press conference . Obviously Law Enforcement is working very hard. Theres a lot of information. We have a huge crime scene here, a lot of evidence to collect. A lot of interviews to be done. They need to talk to everybody who ever worked or knew this guy. Theyre letting us know now its going to take time. Were not going to have answers tomorrow or next week. They seem pretty resolute. Reporters are asking questions and digging and they we have to investigate this. Give us time to investigate it. 42 guns to most people that sounds like a lot. Is that unusual. Its not unusual. Ive executed a lot of search warrants at homes and come across that many weapons or even more. People that collect guns have that many type of weapons. Its just not that unusual. And i know that sounds kind of shocking, but its not that unusual for somebody to own 40, 50 or 60 guns if theyre a gun collector. Cnn spoke to the brother earlier and he talked about his gun ownership. Well plai that and then well talk about it. Here it is. Not an avid gun guy at all. The fact that he had those kind of weapons is just where the hell did he get automatic weapons . Hes not he has no military background or anything like that. Thats his brother. Has no military background. He has no clue. This one is it is its surprising. Theres no clue. Theres nothing in his history that would show, that would lead to this. Whats going on here . What do you think . The profile for this individual is unique. When we usually see this type of incident occurring, i mean, usually theres something in his background that will point to it. Now, we havent found it yet. Were still not there still could be something there. It just seems odd to me that a 64yearold individual would do this. This was some heavy duty planning on his part to get this done and then not leave a note behind or a message with his girlfriend who i know is coming back to the states. It just seems odd that we havent come across anything yet, nothing on social media. John, do you think theyll find something. Theyre absolutely going to find something. And while he didnt plooe a written note, thats one of the things the fooib is going to do in forensics. Theyre going to look at his kpufrt, pull up everything he ever did including everything he deleted as well r. Retrieval of that and see what the history was. But thats going to, again, take some time and people specifically asked about computers. Is that usually where the information comes from . Thats what weve seen historically, whether the gabby give ford shooting. Theres always a written record because today thats how people communicate. Whats interesting is the shooters father was on the fbis most wanted list. Convicted bank robber when he was just 16 years old. Did he want to somehow repeat his fathers history . When you look at the interview with the brother, i mean, it sounds like they never really had much contact with the father. He was in jail most of his life. I think each the brother said he was born while nerp on the run or something. So there didnt seem to be a heck of a lot of contact between the father and the family. But did it have in i bearing on this . It doesnt seem to. I mean, hes got no criminal history, no background that would point to doing Something Like this. So were digging into the shooters history and his background to try to figure out exactly whats going on. Also investigators obviously doing it as well. I appreciate you gentlemen joining me. Stick around. Well need you throughout the next couple of hours here on cnn. When we come back b much more of our breaking news live here from las vegas. What were learning about Stephen Paddock the 64yearold shooter that killed at least 59 people and wounded others. The clues when we come back live. Yes you can can i kick it .

It happened at the mandalay bay which is right over my shoulder right behind me at a Country Music concerted attended by 22,000 people. I want to bring in now crystal got dard and amy mcgas lib who were at that concert tonight and hid under a table with a Good Samaritan who may have saved their lives. As i understand well talk about the Good Samaritan but sadly we just learned that your friend didnt make it. We were with a group of about 12 people and there was one person in our group that i learned recently did not make it, so sending love and prayers to his friends and family. Your friends boyfriend, you said. Yes. Do you know how shes doing. I havent spoken to her today. I think were all going to see each other later tonight. I know its tough to go through this, but what happened . You said that you were saved by a Good Samaritan, amy. What happened . Well, we actually heard the popping sounds. We thought it was maybe fireworks and jason aldean actually continued to play, but then the second round went off and then he stopped playing and ran off stage and thats when we knew it was all so serious. We tried to take cover as quickly as possible. We noticed a lot of people running and just that just didnt feel like the right move at the time based on our location. I had a strong feeling that we would be safe if we just jumped over a table and actually hid under a table for quite a period of time. It felt like 15 minutes where we continued to hear the shooting as he continued to reload. A gentleman, i dont know his name, i dont cant barely remember what he looked like, but he completely covered me. He covered my face. He said ive got you, and its just truly incredible, a stranger, you know, jumping over me to protect me and held her hand and i held his hand and us all together, we stood strong together. So i think that was what was so amazing about the whole experience that as a Little Community under this table we sat there together, quietly and calmly. How many people under that table . I dont remember how long the table was. It probably was like a normally 8 foot long table and it actually had a banner was covering it over the front. The mandalay bay was facing direct toward us. We had no idea where the shooter was coming from. I thought it was multiple sheerts. I thought they were on the ground, on the grounds at the festival because of how houd it was. It was so incredibly loud as people can see from the videos and they can hear from the audio. Amazed that the guns the gunshots made it from all the way up, you know, on the 32nd floor of a hotel. To where you were. I thought they were right outside. So we were just quiet and hung tight. The people ive spoke to today said they had no idea. They thought it was a multiple gunmen and they thought people were saying hes coming. They didnt know. Right. And what happened next . When did you realize that you could get from under the table . We were under the table for i guess it seemed maybe 10, 15 minutes until we were sure that the gunfire had stopped. It was quiet for quite a while. It is kind of a blur, but we heard some people come over and say that to get out and to go and to run. We had taken our shoes off so that we could run faster so we didnt trip or anything like that. So as soon as the curtain was lifted and people were telling us to run, we just got up and we just ran. Did you know you had no idea who this man was, right . I have no idea who he was. I know that i was next to a woman who got shot in the neck. I looked at her. I was trained as an emt and i was an emt five years back now, so i wanted to make sure she was okay and i looked at her neck. Obviously there was a lot of blood, but she was she seemed okay. It didnt hit her artery. She was with a gentleman, maybe her husband, and so shes super lucky. I think it was just a graze, you know. And then the gentleman who was kind of guarding us and protecting us, he said that he had been shot in his rear end area and that there was a lot of blood. And i just told him, you cant leave yet. You have to stay. You have to be quiet. We have to just Stay Together until help comes. Help is on its way. We didnt know what that was going to happen. But he stood still and he talked to us and he continued talking until a woman with kind of short blond hair popped underneath the table and said everyone is okay. Youre safe now. And he was the first person to get taken out to triage, im assuming. So you dont know how hes doing. I dont know how hes doing. Hes been in my thoughts all day. Hes a true truly amazing person for just trying to protect the whole under the whole table area where we were. There were so many heroes. Ive heard story after story about people who were saving they were carrying people on ladders and whatever they could find, using jackets and shirts to stop the bleeding as turn kets, to stop the bleeding. How did that kick in . Did some sort of instinct kick in just for you to run or to start helping other people . Because there was some chaos. Again, you dont know which way to run. You dont really know whats happening. All i remember is being under the table and i had i was facing the wall and amy was facing away from me and so i had her legs in my arms and she was holding the other gentlemans hand and i was laying on top of another girl. We were all kind of smooshed together. But i just remember saying that it was going to be okay. That we just needed to stay and be quiet, that everything gfs to go to be fine as long as we stayed there. I truly did feel like we were going to be okay. I dont know if thats sort some sort of protection mechanism. I thought we were going to be fine and i was trying to make sure that everybody was calm. How far did you have to run . Because some people said they felt like they were in a maze. They would go we did go underground for a second. We actually started running barefoot as she said because we were wearing like our heels. We didnt want to fall and twist an ankle and then cause injury. So we took our shoes off, left them there. We started running towards the closest building we could see to take cover. We were kind of shuffled underground a bit to the hooters hotel. I immediately knew that that was not a good location for us to be. We didnt want to get stuck there. A lot of people ended up getting stuck on lockdown at a lot of Convention Centers and Different Hotels until it was deemed safe. I actually called coworkers to come and pick us up and we just continued to walk slash run as fast as we can. We had cuts on our feet. Towards them, towards coval lane and then thats where my coworkers picked us up and took us to safety, which were extremely grateful for. If youre looking at the if youre at the venue, where was the stage in relation we were right next to the camera man, kind of right in the center to the right. So mandalay bay is here. The stage is here. And then there was a camera man to the left. So the shooting is coming from this way. The shootings are coming herement of we have no idea about that, though. We dont know where the shootings are coming from. All we can hear is about a hundred rounds unloading, nonstop and then its like a pattern of silence. Some people trying to make a run for it and others staying and hiding. So we were right in the center. You both visited the fire station tonight. We did. How was that . Incredible. I think the whole community has truly come together. The city is amazing. Its a small, tightknit community of people. People have just been standing in line all day to give blood. We decided for a different route, we decided to go purchase hygiene kits and just food, like nonperishable food items to donate to the fire station. Thank you. Were glad youre okay. Thank you. Sorry to hear about your friend. You guys take care. Thank you. When we come right back, what happened inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel room with Stephen Paddock as he carried out his plan. Were going to talk about everything from his stock pile of weapons and how he mass kerd so many people. Well be right back live from las vegas. When a fire is going on, youre not thinking clearly, so they called the Fire Department for us. I could hear crackling in the walls. My mind went totally blank. All i remember saying was, my boyfriends beating me and she took it from there. And all of this occurred in four minutes or less. I am grateful we all made it out safely. People you dont know care about you. Its kind of one of those things where you cant even thank somebody. To protect what you love, call 1800adtcares if they knew just howers rich they were.

Police say they recovered 23 guns from the Las Vegas Hotel room of mass shooter Stephen Paddock and another 19 guns were found at his mesquite, nevada home. Lets discuss all of this. Were going to take you inside the room and talk about the guns. Also with us tonight chris sweker, former fbi assistant director for the drill Investigative Division and jim maximum well a retired fbi special agent. Gentlemen, good evening. Thank you for joining us. Jim, i want to play the 911 call when officers discovered gunfire, the gunfire is coming from the 32nd floor of the hotel. I can hear the automatic fire come from one floor ahead. One floor above us. Be advised it is automatic fire, fully automatic fire from the elevated position. Take cover. Why 32 floors above . Why shoot from 32 floors above . Hes showing hes trying to get a tactical advantage. Hes going to place himself from as far away as he possibly can and still be effective. Hes broken out two windows which tells me hes trying to create two intersecting fields of fire. Ive looked at the diagram that was published by the New York Times today online and you can see that hes facing hes covering down on both sides of the audience it looks like from his vantage point. So tactically this was well thought out as far as where to start this attack and to attack from the position of advantage. As we flew in today, james, we could see the windows blown out of the hotel, and one is sort of on the side. One is in the front. And right. Your estimation was that he had two this is jims gag leeian notice, that he had two different sites. He was shooting from both sites, setting up with a tripod. The area where the concert goers, it was a ver itable killing field. What made this so difficult for the folks, we teach this for active sheerts with civilians. First thing to do is to run. Second thing if you have to hide, secret yourself someplace where youve got some cover. Third, fight is the last resort and then go and tell. Thats what we tell them to do. For those concert goers, and they were down below now. Were talking about a 400 yard distance from where the shooter was shooting down into them. Not many of them knew where they were coming from. Unless you were on the stage and you could see the bullets impacting into the floor, you had no idea where it was coming. So some people instead of running outside of the kill zone probably inadvertently turned and ran back into the kill zone. He set up two positions. When people said there was a delay what we surmise. Certainly the crime scene experts are going over that room right now for any type of intelligence they can harvest and evidence they will determine all of that. What it looks like from first glance is two separate positions and that break could have been firing one weapon until he emptied it or the barrel hot hot and jammed and going to the second position and picking up from there. I want to play the video from todays massacre for you and we have to warn our viewers that the sights and sound are disturbing and then well talk about it. Here it is. Chris, what does that audio tell you about the weapons used in this massacre . Its highly likely almost a certainty that it was a fully automatic weapon. I think there was one media outlet that broke it down into a time sequence and deducted that there were ten rounds per second. Thats 600 hounds a minute. They fired for at least ten minutes. It sounds like that could be as many as 6,000 rounds fired. With 600 or so casualties. Thats a pretty good hit ratio shall we say because of the crowd, obviously. So the shooter checked into this hotel, the Mandalay Bay Hotel days ago and officials said they found 23 weapons in the hotel room, chris, including a handgun, multiple rifles, some had scopes on them. What does that tell you about his preparations . A good amount of preparation, especially for somebody that at least for all accounts has no military experience. So hes obviously familiar with guns, knows how to get his hands on long weapons, the type of weapons that would be accurate at least the outside accuracy range for an ar or k is about 500 yards. Knows how to set up firing positions. Set up two firing positions that we know of. Probably as it was appointed out was moving from weapon to weapon as it overheated or ran out of ammunition and came fully prepared, probably studied the concert for a day or two as i understand it was a three day concert so he probably spent some time up there studying the crowd patterns and that sort of thing. I mean, it was a surprisingly sound tactical plan if this were a military operation, which it wasnt. And you count the casualties, it approaches the casualty count for fa lugea two. Even in iraq they didnt see that kind of casualties in one day. Unbelievable. Gentlemen, thank you. I appreciate your expertise. Were learning so much more tonight about the people who lost their lives in this in last nights tragedy. Sonny mel ton was a registered nurse in paris, tennessee. His wife heather was an Orthopedic Surgeon survived the shooting. Special Education Teacher sandra casey also died in the massacre. She taught at Manhattan Beach middle school in california for the past nine years. Also from Manhattan Beach, Police Department employee rachel parker. She was 33. Shell be right back.

At least 59 people dead, more than 500 wounded. I want to bring in now retired astronaut and husband. Good evening, mr. Kelly. So good to have you onto talk about this. I wish we could have spoken under better circumstances. Butioand your wife, congresswoman giffers, you spoke about it earlier today. The nations counting on you. What was your reaction and gabbys reaction to this horrible news out of las vegas . Well, its the same as it always is that its not again. Its the same reaction that i had after and gabby had after 20 first graders and kindergarteners killed at the sandy brook elementary school. You have a list that includes the movie club shooting, nightclub shooting, elementary school, baseball, and were now adding music festival. And the sad thing, don, is that theres folks out there that would want us to believe this is normal. And people should understand that this is not normal, and its not inevitable that we live and continue to live in a country with 25 times the death rate from gun violence than any other country like us. We can make changes to prevent these things from happening. So if you read some of the comments today through social media and some people speaking out saying and im just getting your reaction this is not the time to talk about gun control or gun laws. What do you say to that . I used to say that, too. I used to it frequently. But when youre in a situation that gabby and i are in where were trying to get congress and people woo elect to office to, you know, move forward with some positive change, you know you get tired of saying that. And you really do. It wears you out. And when we have 50 plus, 59 americans killed, over 500 others shot in a single event, if not now, when . Thoughts and prayers are important. I was glad to hear that from the president. But what i would really like to hear from the president and congress is what is their plan to make sure that things dont happen, you know, like this over and over and over again. You know, ive heard you say before that this isnt use to happen. Thats true. I mean when i kid a little bit older than you, but when we were kids, we didnt see as many mas shootings. In the 1970s, we did have a high death rate from gun violence. But Mass Shootings have really picked up especially in the last decade. And theyve picked up for a reason. We make it incredibly easy for americans, especially people that shouldnt have access to the most powerful weapons, we make it very easy for them to get them. And, you know, inevitably when more people have more guns in more places we have a higher death rate from gun violence. Thats clear. And the places that have stronger laws, theres less gun violence. So the laws do matter. And thats what congress and this president should focus on. Mark kelly, thanks so much. And give our regards to your wife.

Thank you for joining us. Several things i want to talk to you about. Number one, you said your brother works at the hotel. You had a bit of a scare last night because you thought he was working and didnt hear from him for a while. Thats right. It was about 10 30 p. M. Last night. As soon as i heard about the shooting i thought about my brother. He usually works sunday nights. I sent him a text message, tried calling him, there was no answer. Thankfully, about 45 minutes he replied im okay. He was at a ball game. I im happy because i know theres 59 families today that didnt get that call. And about 500 others. You represent mesquite, thats where he lived. Nobody knew who he was. He had just moved there. Mesquite is a very small town. Its a mystery where this man came from. Even his neighbors didnt really know him . Not really. According to the mayor most of the neighborhood didnt know who he was, didnt interact with him. So this person a mysterious person even to the people of mesquite. Describe the sort of acts of heroism that took place here. You know, i hope something good comes out of all this, is all the acts of heroism of all the people who fought to save lives. I saw firsthand this morning, i went out over to the hospital around 3 00, 4 00, in the morning and i saw doctors, nurses, police, paramedics trying to save lives. Theres one there who had just passed away. But these are people doing everything to save lives including strangers at the site yesterday. Thank you so much. It is the top of the hour. We have a lot more on our breaking news now. The worst
