This is information that we learned just over the last half hour or so and its Important Information as investigators try to piece together this puzzle of who this man is and what motivated this attack. They know that he had at least ten weapons with him, so he was armed to the teeth and so investigators were trying to figure out how did he get these weapons . The atf is trying to track the history of these weapons. Gun rangers where he lived about an hour and half away where from the shooting occurred. Theyre gattering pieces of puzzles with the help of fbi, is helping to gather cell phone video, witness accounts and theyre putting this in the database which help them put together a more complete picture of what happened out there overnight. What led up to the shooting. He had been gambling the past few days. The undersheriff told us he had been using his wifes i. D. Cards while he was gambling. Mean tile, police are search warrant at the suspects home. Stephen paddock lived in a Retirement Community in mess mesquite texas. Karen, this is a small community, i can imagine the shock upon finding out that somebody who lived upon them was among was the one who perpetrated this heinous act. Reporter yeah, thats right, good morning to you and you can imagine, in small community, word spreads around quite quickly. Were learning how some of his neighbors are reacting to the news that he reportedly carried out this massacre on the world famous las vegas strip. As you mentioned, we learned that the officers began serving a search warrant at his home. Were at the Mesquite Police department. The Law Enforcement asking us to stay as far away from his home, telling us, they dont know what they might find inside. We also mentioned that he does live in this Retirement Community in mesquite, its northeast las vegas. Within the last halfhour, officers serving that search warrant and we did hear moments ago, the Clark County Sheriff joe lom bardo that this will be a long and methodical investigation. Can you tell us anything about this particular Retirement Community . Reporter well, its a small communi community. Its a franchise. They do have different communities. Around southern nevada. This is just one of them in mesquite. Its about an hour and a half northeast of las vegas. We thank you, karen castro on the scene. Jack owen had just finished performing at the strip. We spoke to him earlier this evening by phone. You were there, how are you processing this . Its very, very upsetting. Im just blown away. Im sitting here inside a bus, a hundred feet from the stage that i was standing on when this started happening. Watching the news saying there are more than 50 deseased and more than 200 injured. We were in the middle of it. The shots started being fired, you could hear it ricocheting off the top of the roof, we started running. You didnt know where it was coming from. With about 20 people crouched behind the car and the fear in everys eyes, the fear of everyone lookito make sure ever is open. What did you think was happening, jack. When i walked on the stage, security was pretty tight. Because jason use pyrotech nicks. So, when i was standing up to him to my buddy luke, also a buddy on the show, you heard these pops start and i thought it was perhaps the pyrotechnics, it started like a fullon automatic uzi or a machine gun coming. Thats when you knew it was someone shoobt. Jason released a tweet this morning expressing his condolences. Have you talked to him since this incident . We have. Were all kind of in shock. Making sure everyones okay. We literally were running in chaos. I was separated by my own crew. A friend of mine is here with me now, she got separated from her husband. We were all just, you know, worrying what was going on. Yeah, how long did the gunfire last . How long did it appear to last . Thats what crazy about this story is that, i believe that the gunshots no joke lasted between anywhere eight and ten minutes. It was almost like, you could hear at first, theyre showing the shooting came from mandalay bay. It as if he broke the window of the room he was shooting from. But i ran off stage when he was firing shots. Ended up getting in the street behind the car. By the time i got back over to a crew bus in the middle of the parking lot a few hundred yards away, we all laid down inside the tour bus and you could hear firing shots. This went on for a good, like i said, 8 to 10 minutes. What is your message to your frien fans, across the country . What is your message to them . You know, i at the end of the day, i write songs to the best ability that i know in life i think its important for us in the simple way we can say it, to those who come out to these shows every week, they bring their families, to not be scared of this. This is so unfortunate that things like this have to happen in order to see this kind of thing is real. But, i think this will make us stronger as the community of the United States but us as a community in the music world, coming together to stand up to these kind of things, bring peace and happiness back to everybody. Its interesting, jack, how they talk about the shooter, 64yearold man. No criminal record who lived at a Retirement Community. You dont expect anything at a Country Music festival or at a rihanna concert, what does that say to you sf its unfortunate things like that happen. Im a floridian and when the nightclub had the shooting, last year, that was devastating to me. You know, the kinds of people the innocent lives that were taken. These things are happening day in and day out. Theres another news story about the next day something happens. As american citizens all we can do is to continue be strong and come together. This is the time in our lives where we need to come together and just be the best we can be for this country. Because, thats whats most important for all of us. Our families, livelihoods. This is it for us. Cbs Senior National security Fran Townsend is here. Were also joined by cbs news Law Enforcement analyst, paul, and fran, welcome to both of you. Paul, the deadliest shooting in deadliest mass shooting happened from hundred yards away. The planning and calculation that went into this is unprecedented. He chose a particular hotel that wasnt the closest in relation to the concert itself. The floor he chose, the room facing that, checking in on the 28th. Amount of time it had to take transport those weapons up there. The planning and calculation that went into this is unprecedent zmrd being described as a lone wolf. Living in a Retirement Community person. What else do we need to know . We want several things. One from his history with respect electronic communications. His email. What websites he visited. Also, his communications on his phone. Who he spoke to, how long he spoke to them. All of these things will create a mosaic who he is, how long this was in the works and to the why. Why did he choose this particular event . Fran, he said he had no real criminal history to speak of, maybe a minor traffic violation. Often times we see with lone woves they have had minor contact with Law Enforcement. So, this is the first real serious contact with Law Enforcement. His age. All of that makes this significantly different. I think we cant underscore pauls point. The amount of planning this is ten rifles. Magazines that we understand from Law Enforcement he reloaded. The size and weight of that equipment to get up to the room, plan and lay in wait for several days. It cant be accident with all that planning he waited for the signature event at the end of a threeday concert for the main headliner to be on stage when he opened fire. Between that time, he managed to go gamble. What does that tell you about his state of mind. Ill tell you, i think he was planning it. He got into that hotel room. Hed have to be there a couple days to get that equipment up there. He had time to kill. He was waiting until that last concert, that last headline event when he could anticipate the crowd it doesnt appear he intended to get out alive in. No. Thats right. We know from the moment he began shooting from out of his room he didnt make any attempt to leave that room. He didnt try to flee. When they entered he killed himself. He didnt intend to be captured or to leave alive. What police are going to be very careful when they execute a search warrant. Theyre going to be very, very careful. This this isnt only statement hes leave zblg the closest connection to him is his wife, who the sheriff said is out of the country. They spoke with her, they believe her not to be involved. Walk us through what transpires next . Im sure he gets on a flight back to the u. S. A commercial flight they put her on. How did this happen. The assistant Deputy Sheriff she also gave the names of others in the family to speak to. I expect shell come back on a normal commercial flight. Clear customs. Imagine if she truly had nothing to do with this, were not sure. The shock shes going through. Theyll interview her. Did he collect guns . Was he a gun buff . What weapons was she aware of . Did she help him obtain those weapons . Theres a lot theyre going to want to know. The white house meantime says President Trump has been briefed on the shooting. Hell make a short statement in a few minutes. These are live pictures for the diplomatic room where the president will speak. Well, we do expect the president to make those remarks from the diplomatic room here at the white house. This will be his first chance to really sort of frame this unfolding tragedy and tell the American Public his initial assessment. What we know so far from the facts on the ground that to this doesnt appear to be an act of international terrorism. However, this appears to be a domestic act and we dont know how hell frame that for the American Public. Did the shooter have any kind of political motive . If so, does it classify it as an act of terrorism . The president s words will be parsed very quickly. The American Public is looking to him now how to make sense of this. Will he remain as he has so far focused on supporting the First Responders on offering more assistance or will he get more descriptive at this point, talking about the hotbutton issues. We understand cha chief of staff john kelly has taken a hand to craft this statement. Thank you very much. Again, theyre scheduled to start in about ten coolest day out there, clear skies also in store and windy conditions so heres what you can expect as you start your workweek, temperatures are chilly today and tomorrow, we have winds coming from the north which means dry air and that is why we have this red flag warning.
