Shooting in u. S. History. It all happened at the route 91 Harvest Festival in las vegas. The gunman across the street in a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Hotel and casino. People thought it was fireworks. But instead it was a man raining down bullets into the unsuspecting crowd. When we got down, there was a man that was shot right there. They were trying to take him out. He was all bloody and he was unconscious. Every one i thought passed on, they have an article of my clothing covering their eyes and covering their body. He ran off the stage, then people started dropping to the floor. We were running out. We saw people that were shot and we just kept running. Kennedy who was the suspect shooter . Investigators say it was stephen papaddock. And he was not on their radar. Why did he create what President Trump is calling an act of pure evil. Hillary vaughn is live in las vegas with much more. Whats going on in that city right now . Reporter pa paddocks family hd no idea he had an arsenal of guns in his home. Law enforcement is hoping to get answers from paddocks girlfriend, marilou danley. They say he is still under investigation. Authorities are sending a s. W. A. T. Team to paddocks second home in reno. But here is what they got from his home outside vegas. They found 18 additional firearms. Explosives. They took computer hard drives they say the fbi is going to look into. They found ammonia nitrate in his car. Thats a substance used to make explosives. There are questions about how he got several guns into his hotel room. He packed them into suitcase. A source tells fox news that paddock has purchased 30 guns in his lifetime. Officials say they have identified self gun dealers who has done business with paddock. Chris owens said paddock did not raise any red flags. Saying he was a customer and purchased firearms from our store. But all necessary background checks and procedures were followed. He never gave any reason to believe was unstable or unfit. Paddocks own brother was shocked by the news. He was a wealthy guy who liked to play video games. He even would send his mom a box of cookies. My brother did this. This is like he shot us. I mean, if he had killed my kids i couldnt be more dumfounded. Reporter over 500 people have been wound and hospitalized. You see several people walking down this road on the strip near the mandalay bay. We talked to some of them who described the violence as it unfolded. My husband was with me. Then after those shots, i saw a bunch of injured people piled into a car and had me go with them. Reporter another witness i spoke with said at the point where gunshots were being fired, it was every man for himself. A lot of people getting trampled, people running over bodies to get out of the way. They didnt know where the gunshots were coming from. Kennedy parts of the city have been on lockdown. Thanks for keeping us posted. We have a witness on the phone who was in the thick of the gunfire and says words cannot describe horror he saw. Hes a returning iraq war veteran. Colin donahue. He just got back from deployment three weeks ago. Colin, what did you see last night . Allout chaos. There was bodies everywhere. We tried to do the best we could. There were numerous people that were they are helping those that were injured and shot. One of the guys standing right next to me dropped. I looked at him and said are you okay . He said i just got shot in the leg. The people i was with dish was with a nurse, and she and i started doing a hasty triage making sure if you were breathing, awesome. Then numerous people came to help out. If you werent breathing people started putting shirts and articles of clothing over them so they could signify that they werent breathing and were no longer alive and we continued to do that. And putting people on benches. We put a gentleman on a fence. He had a head shot, but he was breathing. And we put him on a fence and somebody did c spine and walked him out. And we went to the next. It was a life altering experience. Kennedy you just returned from combat in iraq. Did your training help you out here, and which was more traumatic for you . The hilt is trained their soldiers really well. The army did put me through numerous schools in which mass casualties events would occur. And it kind of just took over. It took me a second. Everything was going in slow motion. Then once it clicked on, its all right, its go time. Kennedy are you doing okay . Yeah. No complaints. My dad came to visit and my mom came to visit. We are doing all right. Kennedy thank god you were in a position to help people. I marvel at the First Responders who have had training who stay when everything in their body is telling them to run and get away from the situation. Those who stay and save lives its incredibly courageous. So thank you so much colin donahue, welcome back. Right now on the phone we have someone who was on stage with big and rich just moments before the gunman opened fire. Kia, how are you . Are you there, darling . Watcher of fox news and fox business. Unfortunately our line has obviously been compromise. And its probably because people have so many questions for her about her harrowing experience. They went to a tour bus so they barricaded themselves in a bar with an fbi agent. Now with so many other unanswered questions. Where do investigators even begin and where will this case go next. Let me bring in the former assistant fbi director. Where does the fbi start in a case like this . You start with data. You start with the electronics. What does social media look like for this killer. What do this Text Messages look like. Any sort of postings. Any encrypted apps he might have on a phone. Phone calls to friends, neighbors, associates. The frequency of those calls. So its throwing out a big net, looking at any part of his digital footprint. Where he called. Where he was when he called. Where he traveled with a phone. Financial records. They are going to try to run back to a live person to a live thing to look at this browsing history and try to match up and understand what he might have been thinking about at a certain place in time, whether that was yesterday at noon, yesterday at 6 00 p. M. , three days ago. Understand what he was doing, thinking about, trying to understand the frequency of his contacts. The frequency of his activities. Kennedy this is a person who is trying to kill thousands of people. He staked out a room weeks in advance. This is a highly attended Music Festival that goes over three days. He has a corner suite and this prime view of his future victims. And he was trying to take out thousands and thousands of people. This is something more than a black suwannee vent. This is someone who apparently has no ties to International Terror groups, or particularly religious or political, how do you begin to put together a motive for Something Like this. Talking to all the people he has been talking to. Try to understand really the trajectory into madness. To look at changes and look at things that were contextually inappropriate. Buying large vols of ammunition and multiple weapons even though he wasnt taking those weapons out to hunt or to target practice. Putting that together in context and understand what the drivers were. Was there a financial motive because of large gambling losses . Was he diagnosed with a deadly disease that was going to take his life. Kennedy the gambling issue. People who didnt know him well, even his brother said he was a big gambler. Is there anything about that that raises a red flag. Like all these investigators, i want to know more. There is millions of gamblers. There are lots of folks who put 5 on a black jack table and lose 40. But people who lose 20,000 a hands and they are doubling down and losing and losing. Since i couldnt make my money back, im going to take a lot of lives because mine is fading away from me. I dont think any of this can make sense. It will never make sense. Thank you for your insight as we try to get a clearer picture of what happened. We cant help but ask ourselves why. Joining me on the phone. Kaya jones. I am very curious as to what happened last night. You were on stage at the festival with big and rich who were the act that splais just before jason aldean . Yeah. Our friends john rich and john and big tenney. They were doing their show. They have a moment where they bring up veterans and pay homage to them. And they have an honorary bartender. And they thought it would be cute, we being a musical talent to be the one to jump up and serve the veterans. We were all singing god bless america. It was magical. Kennedy where were you when the shots started to ring out . We had just pulled out, gone the five minutes down the road into the next venue before we were tapped and said there is an active shooter where we just were. Kennedy what was your first reaction . Our friends that were still on site. B. J. Silver just performed. His wife and 13monthold baby were in the room next to the shooter. Kennedy my goodness, thats terrifying. Vegas is my hometown. Y longtime friends, i am getting calls today. We had a lot of people there. Kennedy you were in lockdown in a bar with an fbi agent. How long were you locked down in there. Almost three hours. John rich tried keep everyones morale up. We didnt not was just one shooter in a room. We thought at any point someone could burst through the doors. Kennedy thank god you were safe and hopefully your friends made it out okay. Best of luck with everything. Thank you, kennedy. Kennedy it didnt take long after last nights shooting for some on the left to politicize the tragedy. The party familiar joins me next to talk about all of that. Can i kick it .

Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum kennedy welcome bark on this breaking news live edition of kennedy. Earlier in the day the president announced he will visit las vegas wednesday to meet with lanement, First Responders and the victims families. Many on the left have rushed to call for gun restrictions and more laws. Hillary clinton tweeting our grief isnt enough. We can and must put politics aside. Stand up to the nra and Work Together to try to stop this from happening again. Nancy pelosi chiming in. And Sarah Huckabeesanders dismissed a reporter question about gun control. This is an unspeakable tragedy. Today is the day for consoling the survivors and mourning those we lost. Our thoughts and prayers wherewithal of those individuals. There is a time and place for political debate. But now is the time to unite the country. There is currently an open Law Enforcement investigation sphipt would be premature to discuss policy when we dont fully know all the facts. Kennedy of course we can have policy discussion and determine motive and many other events. But can the left at least wait until victims and the families are notified before reaching into their grab bag of talking points . The panel consists of glenn hall, buck sexton, and jamie weinstein. Welcome, gentlemen. A very somber night. Trying to make sense of some of the facts. You say they should be focusing especially in the early part of day. Hillary clinton was tweeting about this around 11 00 in the morning east coast time. It was 8 00 in the morning in las vegas. And there were still victims wandering into emergency rooms. I wouldnt be outraged if they were polite sizes it with solution to stop mass shootings. What they are suggesting wouldnt stop the killing and the massacres. I think it reality is, there is no solution other than the cure that would be worse in the disease which would be to confiscate every gun in this country. Kennedy i saw some comments on twitter today, we have to do something now before there is more loss of life. Why not take all the cars off the road. You had one hillary tweet. She had another one where she went after silencers. I can guarantee you Hillary Clinton never fired a silenced weapon. She just decided to throw that here, too, to inflame as much emotion against the nra and Second Amendment supporters. Why bring silencers into a discussion when there were no silencers used. Everybody could hear the weapons going off. Kennedy some say if you modify a weapon to make it an automatic what he point would mallet silencer. Obviously he had more than a Hardware Store worth of screws loose. It wasnt a gun for him city would have been something else. There was no respect for human life. Even in a deranged gunman scenario, there are usually indicators early on the guy was muttering to himself in the corner, saying he was going to get even. We have heard none of that. Some of the indicators. Its nonjihaddive. The indicators you would expect be leading up to the attack. We have seen none of that so far. Some of the reporters found neighbors who describe him as not very friendly or sociable. Very reclusive. But snob described him as hostile or aggressive or unstable. Kennedy unlike the shoot sellers we have seen in places like colorado andhandy hook. The moment you saw the individual in the Aurora Movie Theater shooting. There was no question. But with this individual you look into his backgrounds and you see someone who is financially successful or happens a girlfriend or companion. None of those indicators you would expect have been there yet. And to james point about politicizing this early on. Everything being shared and talked about about gun control. There is a pattern that it would not have prevented this attack. There are 300 million guns in the country. If you make something illegal, you will have to deal with the strategy. Kennedy look what happened in brussels and paris. Well see the panel a little bit later. People go to concerts to relax and enjoy the show. But does that make them the ultimate soft target. Bernard kerik will explain how First Responders spring into First Responders spring into danger when the rest can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can well im gone kennedy as we reported 59 people have died and 500 have been wind. But the shooter may have had time to kill even more if not for the rapid and courageous response from police units who were able to get into the gunmans hotel room less than 20 minutes after the tragedy began. The audience on the 3nd floor. All units move back. Breach, breach, breach. Kennedy the las vegas s. W. A. T. Team found the suspect dead from selfinflicted gunshot wound. But their ability to locate him oh swiftly is one of the bright spots. Bernie kerr rick. Welcome d bernie kerik, how do you spring into action that you have got an active shooter at a concert with 22,000 people. In the aftermath of 9 11, we got the city back on it feet in the aftermath. But we also learned a lot. And we learned a lot about planning for events like this. Crises like this, places like las vegas, l. A. , new york, bigger cities that have the resources. They put these plans and protocols in place so when they have Something Like this, they can respond. Kennedy you dont know if its terrorism, you dont know how many people are shooting or where they are shooting. In this circumstance you know its heavy weapons. You know where the guy is. Its not as easy as running up to the 32nd floor. They have to clear the floors they are going on. There is a whole bunch of stuff going on before they even get to this guy, and they did it pretty quickly. Kennedy they could tell the gunfire was coming from an elevated position. No, its not that easy. But a lot of people on the ground were telling them where it was coming from. In the crowd itself they have offduty nurses and firemen. They created a triage zone pulling people out on their own. You have got to give them a lot of credit. Kennedy is 0 minutes a long time. When somebody is shooting at you with an automatic weapon, 20 minutes is like 20 years. Kennedy it must feel like that. They are having a great time. Its the third day of a 3day festival. Its the ends of the night. People have been out in the sun. The sad thing is i look at this and think this is a new blue print for psychopaths. This is they are look for a 234u9, a kook, a terrorist. Kennedy this is a soft target and what people worry about most of. Last nights tragedy sparked fresh concerns about fresh targets. Large public gathering like concerts offer little protection for people as potential targets. Isis ued followers to exploit that weakness. What can we do to stop attacks on soft targets . Joining me, brian suit and mike baker. Also the president of. How can you keep soft targets safe from someone who created their own sniper situation hundreds of feet above a massive crowd of 20,000 people . I hate to repeat what we said over the years. But you can only do so much. But this is not knew. What happened this is not new. What happened in vegas follows papa turn. At the Ariana Grande concert. The bataclan attack in paris. And Christmas Market in germany. Its a soft target. We are not going to lock down society. So you look at the way it was carried out. You determine if there is anything new in there in terms of the methodology. But Event Security, large Event Security is pretty well advanced. Than is not much new under the sun. Occasionally a new Technology Comes along that you can take adva
