Where were at, were looking at four to five days. So, i know that sounds troublesome but its important that we dot the is and cross the ts as far as evidentiary and possible prosecution if the future. Injuries, Injury Number that we are using today, 489. Of that 489, 317 has been discharged from the hospital. So the question is, sheriff, you provided several different numbers associated with that all the way up to 527. Now, you got to imagine, were dispersed across several hospitals, relying on intelligent communication of the hospitals to provide us accurate numbers so thats ever changing. In Addition Hospitals received patients outside of this event. So quite often, or hopefully not quite often, but often some of those patients were double counted or misconstrued as event
injuries versus other injuries such as car accidents. So today im comfortable in saying the injured number is 489. Deaths still remain at 59. I told you 59 before, plus one, about suspect, that changed. Today its 58, plus one, the suspect, 59. Its the same reason that occurred before as i explained. So hope you understand that. Nobody wants that number to go up, and by the grace of god it went down. So, thats a good thing. So, today ill provide you updates on our investigation of the mass shootings. More than 100 investigators spent the last 72 hours combing through the life of 64yearold stephen paddock. To produce a profile on someone aisle call disturbed and
dangerous. Stephen paddock is a man who spent decades requiring weapons and ammo and lived a secret life, much of cll never be fully understood. And planned on the worst Massive Attack in United States history. As many reported paddock rented a room at the hotel in downtown las vegas, this has been confirmed. Okay. Reasons that ran through paddocks mind is unknown but it was directly during as Life Is Beautiful. We have received and recovered evidence from that location, we dont know if it is evidence but we have recovered items in video evidence. You know what, im using the wrong term, evidence is not the term, we have recovered video from there to review mr. Paddocks actions while he was there. Its important for you to
understand, the rooms were not rented by the ogden, it was done through airbnb by a private owner unknown to the ogden. So, we have very great cooperation from the owners of Life Is Beautiful, and the ogden and their cooperation. Okay, while we have already spoken many people had tact with stephen pad docs at hotels and places he frequented in, we still have more interviews to conduct. Since monday, there have been many questions for us to release a timeline and today we have one. I want to point out the information previously reported on the first shot was based on a cad report, a computer aided dispatch. So that report is dependant on whose the particular Person Calling in and that time stamp. What we have done through the
review of bodyworn cameras we were able to pull it back to previously from 10 08 to 10 05. So carlos, so im going to give you a cans to review that, take photographs of it, and ill walk you through each timeline. So, at 10 05 the first shots fired by the suspect this was seen on Close Circuit Television from the concert venue. 10 12 first two officers arrived on the first floor and reported fire coming from directly above them. 10 13 shots fired by the suspect on body worn camera. 10 17 the first two officers arrived on the second floor. 10 18 squaurt officer tells the offers he was shot and given exact location of the suspects
room. Now youll notice a minute, delta there before they broadcasts and obviously they were in a conversation with the Security Guard immediately upon them meeting at the elevators. Between 10 26 and 10 30 eight additional officers arrived on the 32nd Floor Clearing the hall ways and look for individual people. They moved this way because they no longer heard active gun shots. 10 55 eight officers arrived in the stair wellat the opposite end of the hallway near the suspects room. So near the suspects room you can imagine the hotel room, this doorway and stairwell pretty two to 3 feet away. 11 20 the breach was set off and officers entered the suspects room and saw the suspect down. So its a suite. And we have theres a main area of the suite which is the living room, Kitchen Dine Net Area and on the opposite end of that, two bedrooms. Im sorry where did i leave off . Something yell it out. 11 20. Okay so if you do the math on that all the way up to is 1 20 from 10 05 were looking at 75 minutes. So, young lady here in the front with the red phone, you mentioned 72 minutes so now you see where those minutes came from. 11 27 the second breach set off allowing offices to access the second room and no one else was located within the hotel room. Okay, these are following Ex Tin Waiting Circumstances as to why we may have appeared, there was some delay or some undue delay
in reaching the suspect. The officer in the First Strike Team reached the 32nd floor within 12 minutes which is phenomenal of the first shots being fired. With the officer rived and confirmed the location of the suspects room the gunfire stopped. In accordance with their training the officers received a Master Key Card from the Security Guard and began to clear each hotel room. So imagine the elevated bank in the center, 150 feet down on a Try Plex Hotel was the suspects room. So there are several rooms along the way. No fire was occurring, they could not hear additional fire, they believe it was important to evacuate in case the suspect was barricaded. The First Strike Team did this. The second team made up of two Cay Canine Personnel squat
offers and Patrol Officers carrying large bags and technical equipment and carrying rifles ford to have a closer location to the suspects room. They attempted to secure the front doorway of the suspects room. As they entered into the hallway they received the Room Service Card and appeared on the Room Service Card were cameras. So, they pulled back and waited for the approach of a full swat team. Keep in mind, this delay was not undue, it was purposeful and no shots were being heard by the suspect at this point. Eventually a plan was formulated, entry was made. Suspect was seen laying on the ground. They encountered a closed bedroom door, which was locked and they breached that door,
additionally found no other suspect. Another Investigate Issue was cameras. Question was presented by cameras and were they recording. We determined none of the cameras were recording. There were two cameras on the Room Service Cart on the hallway, one on the peephole of the front door and additionally there was a baby monitor camera placed in the general family area of the hotel room. None of them were being recorded. One thing i left out was the initial approach and they looked out in the hallway when they observed the cameras on the Room Service Cart. It was obviously there were several rounds discharged through the door and through the blast of the bullets through the door, you could actually see a weapon through those openings if the door but no suspect was seen. Those rounds were the rounds that he put through the door in order to shoot at the security
guard. Okay, the other thing i wanted to update you on is the Search Warrant of the suspects vehicle located at the mandalay bay. I have presented that plaintiffs Ammonium Nitrate recovered but several cases within the car that had not been searched yet. At the last briefing i provided with you. So within those cases there was ten, one Pound Containers of tahn rite, two pounds of tan rite and twl 1600 rounds of ammunition. So, carlos can you put up the numbers. So this is an ongoing investigation, we can never not have enough information because we are continuing to run down
leads. Its important for us to get all the information we can on mr. Paddock. Because right now were trying to prove his intent. Our understanding of his intent and the History Associated with this and whether or not he has any accomplices. So, we ask people to still call into 311, if youre out of state 7028311. And the fbi and that is ininvestigate and for also electronic media. If youre able to call them theyll provide you the ability to download that online into their system. So at this point, i will provide you essential agent in charge, aaron rous and he will walk you through some of the investigate steps we have accomplished jointly and well react in that total investigation. Subsequent that ill come back to this podium for any q a and
personnel from across the nation to assist the Las Vegas Division in this investigation. This includes witness assistance, the aep counsellors, Evidence Technicians and technical assets. Not to mention additional agencies to help cover leads. The information the public will provide discuss going to help solve this. We must focus on facts, we cannot give into conjecture and we cannot respond to every little twitter feed that may indicate a theory. We need to focus on the fact, you need us and expect us to be right and we want to be right. Theres going to be questions, im sure goiyoure going to hav questions about people weve been talking to, maybe people outside of the United States. The fundamental trust of the American People and the fbi is based upon our discretion, and how good would that discretion
be if we were to provide information that they provided to us in confidence. This is about informing on an investigation, this is about resolving an investigation, so spevgs regarding any individual contact cannot be answered. You need us, you trust us, and the way we have that trust is by using good discretion about what we share. Additionally, we have multiple leads on across the United States and all across the world for our Legal Industries determining the whereabouts of the panel of the people involved in this investigation, and that leads grows. A lot of these leads will go nowhere but we have to follow them, and thatll take some time. Patience are going to be needed from all of us. Were all interested in the same thing, resolving this issue fairly and factually. With that, ill turn it back over to the sheriff. Okay, happy to answer questions. And please provide some decorum. Sheriff. Yes, sir. We know you have an opportunity to we know that we know that you had access to his computers, symphonies a symphony cell phones and so forth. While youre not able to tell us specifically what you found. Let me ask a ygeneral question. Through all that information, is there anything that gives you a sense as to what was going on with this man . Without saying what it is. Are you seeing anything that gives you a direction or any kind of an answer to that question . Globally no. Im sorry to report, no. Me personally, but im not privy
obtained to today. Mr. Rous could probably give you better clarification to that, i havent been briefed by the fbi on that interview as of yet. What was the other question sir . You said youre still trying to figure out whether he had any accomplices. Right. Were obviously going through that. Its troublesome this individual was able to move this amount of gear into a hotel room unassisted. Its troublesome for the amount of stuff he had at both residences unassisted. Theres people that know this individual, theres people that can help us understand this individual, because, you know, interesting enough i read a periodical earlier today, it was an fbi profiler that didnt understand this individual. Usually theres telltale signs associated with these type of actions, reclusive, a plethora
of thing associated with this mind set and we have not found that yet. So what could be more brshl than to fine people who are associated with him either by friendship or accomplice and for us to determine that. Thank you. Sheriff. Yes, sir. Two questions. First you mention in your comments he had a secret life. What do you mind by that . Well, most of us not most of us, i dont, i dont live through social plead ya. Theres a lot of us that live through social media in todays world. Theres a lot of people that are interactive in the public, theres a lot of people that have workweeks. This individual was retired. He found out he had real estate investments, relationship wise its hard to determine what has occurred if his life in the last decade or so. We do know he has an exwife. She didnt lead us to any knowledge. Everybody knows we talked to his brother, no knowledge was
obtained. So anything that would indicate this individuals trigger point, and that would cause him to do such harm, we havent understood it yet. I think its important for us to get to there. And you have to be patient with us because this premeditation of this, this is wellthought out. So dont you think the concealment of his history and life was wellthought out . Its becoming upon us as professionals to figure that out. And then besides what he did, that his or her risk act, are there any other signs of a mental break down . Im not aware. I personally have not been briefed on some of these personal background, im leaving that to the experts. I havent been updated on that yet. So, its going to be frustrating for you observeviously, but you
to remember, ive said it 100 times, this is an investigation and we cant be delayed by providing information that will delay our information or causing an individual to go underground. You know all that, everybody here sitting know that, and i need you to understand. Okay, its important for you to convey to the public were doing everything we can do to bring this to fruition. I think we are doing that and i ask you for your patience. Sheriff within the course of your investigation you discovered perhaps he might have been targeting another concert the week before . Yeah i mentioned he had obtained a room at the ogden which is located downtown and at the same time Life Is Beautiful was being conducted. Was he doing presurveillance we dont know yet, this is all conjecture at this point. Thats why its important for us to have boots on the ground. Sheriff, on the shatairwell
theres information out there the door to the stairwell of the 32nd floor was barricaded or possibly welded shut. Can you tell us if it was it was not welded shut but it was secured. Sheriff can you tell us as of yet no. We havent been able to determine if theres been anybody else in that room besides him. Tan rite in the car does that lead to he might have been planning a bigger attack . Speculation, ill leave that to your own free will. It remained in the car for some reason. Is there an estimate of how many round he fired and how many rounds he didnt fire found in the room . No. Ill give you my personal preview, thatll come out in the public space, no. Rounds havent been counted yet. Theres a lot of evidentiary
recover systems that have been taken place prior to recovery in the round. There was well in excess thousands of rounds in the room. Sheriff, in the photos there was appeared to be a yellow note. Can you tell us about that . No, i cant recall. A suicide note or anything . No no it wasnt. Im comfortable in saying that. Sheriff, where is now and is he still a Person Of Interest. Everything to do with marilou ill have sergeant rous address that. Okay any more questions on that, we can circle back on that . Well circle back on that. You guys want to know how i know her name . She was eating lunch to me yesterday and introduced herself. Sheriff, do you know what
caused the inception . Very good question, no i do not know. I dont know if this is my assumption, only my assumption and phones been able to spell my assumption as of today, i believe because of his counter measur measures placed in the peephole and the hallway he observed the Security Guard and he was if fear he was about to be breached. He was doing Everything Possible to see how he could escape at this point. His concern was personal concerns versus what was occurring down below. Can you talk to about what time he shot himself and can you tell us when you know i cant answer that question. Thats the question thats been presented and we havent been through the internal investigation of that to pinpoint exactly if it was heard wen he shot himself or did it occur in close proximity of entry. Because you imagine when they
breach it had door they used Explosive Devices, so did it occur in proximity of that Explosive Device and we lost it in audible or did it occur when we were trying to set up our team in the hallway. Do you have a Security Guard separated from the other officers . It was my understanding he had gotten separated that was inaccurate. He was conducting an investigation based on customers calling in and he was personally attempting to locate what was occurring. He happened upon that doorway because it was ajar, which keyed his interest. But our officers from close proximity saw, as you can imagine the timeline there. As soon as they came out of the doorway in the elevator he was there, so it happened in a matter of seconds. Hold on let me finish here. Can you tell if there was a note what note the yellow paper. Yes . I dont know. I did a cursory review of the room but i havent been provided that information. I know it was not a suicide note. Sheriff yes, sir. Do you believe le saw the Security Guard approaching and it caused him to stop shooting. If he havent seen the Security Guard
