We dont know why he did it. Chris, more mystery. We are hearing there is cooperation between the philippine authorities and the u. S. , so hopefully we can get answers on that. Jean, thank you very much. Well check back with you in a little bit. Theres a lot of new information to discuss. Lets figure out how this helps to form the puzzle. We have analysts with us. Couldnt have better guests for this. Lets start with what we now know about the weaponry and then we will go to what we know about this choice of venue, why this guy may have picked it. It is not new to gun owners. It is a legal accessory. Bunk stock. It is the back part of the weapon. Lets talk about what this is. Because there is a lot of pushback yesterday that this was a modification to have it operate like an automatic weapon instead of a semiautomatic. There was push back, no, this isnt a big deal. This is people attack the gun culture. All of a sudden this has been thrust into our lexicon. Sit a workaround. Most people in law enforcement, military, are huge proponents of the Second Amendment. This isnt part of the Second Amendment. This works around and sir couple vents our law. To be clear, it is legal. The atf special agent in charge said technically its legal. Does it meet the spirit of the law, the fact that youre not mechanically modifying a weapon but you are putting an aftermarket product on that allows you to lay down chris, this is suppressive fire. Suppressive fire, just so you know at home, is hail of bullets that is not so much accurate but done so it creates risk for whoever your opponent is so they would rather stay point. It is not about being pinpoint. They will say its not really automatic. You still have to have your hand on the trigger. Whats the reality about what it did for this weapon . The United States took automatic weapon fire off their rifles and put on a threeshot burst. They found out the inaccuracy of soldiers in combat, they would pull the trurg, tigger, and youd the muzzle would pull up. Lets show the pictures. It is is new information just to give you a sense of the volume, the preparation. That is actually a bathtub we were showing you. You see them on the floor. It doesnt necessarily show chaos. He may have been cycling through weapons. Heat up when used that much. You run out of bullets no matter how extended the ammo is. We see them. We hear that he was wearing gloves. Why . The heat. The heat signature on the muzzle. He was doing everything he could to prepare himself. Lets bring in phil mudd on that point. Not being concerned about who you hit but how many and giving this monster the best chance of firing as many bullets and hitting as many people as possible. Phil, how does it figure for you . A couple things we need to think b. Lots look at the visible. We know he was familiar with vegas. We know he was a gambler. He didnt presumably know the victims. He knew that that event was going to happen and he chose that hotel to hit that event. A gambler goes down to the strip and shoots people up, i have to believe it is something that happened to him that happened when he was gambling. But i want to know what his Google Search was, when did he make the refbatiservation, was n his phone, did he survey beforehand, i want his visa card history to know whether he ever checked into that hotel before or another hotel, whether he was traveling at other venues to buy dinner. There is a whole picture around i think the authorities would have already known. The sheriff said yesterday within 48 hours we should have a bigger picture. They have this digital picture of his life that should clarify what he was doing and why he chose that venue, chris. Also, phil, it seems clear at this point that he did as much as he could to give himself the best opportunity to kill as many boom as possible. He picked an elevated vantage point. He rigged the weapons to spray as many many bullets as possible. He put the cameras outside and privacy sign to give himself as much time as possible. What did that fit into what his objective was . Obviously his objective, in my judgment, was to kill as many people as possible. We know he had explosive material in the car. That explosive material is commonly available. It is agricultural material. If you look on the internet, you can find ways to make that into a backpack bomb. He was thinking of other options to maximize victims. Options we have seen in suicide attacks in places like europe. Why pick this option . Why not a truck bomb or backpack bomb . I dont know why he chose this option instead of others that he appears to have been thinking about. Also, james, it does appear these weapons, according to the investigators so far, it wasnt about a pluck buy. That he had been building them up over time. You think thats a window into some really longrange plot or he was a gun enthusiast that turned into Something Else. Chris, its hard to tell at this juncture. The sheriff the first day, in the initial hours said make no doubt about it, this is going to be a protracted investigation. Youre going to have a timeline put together. Were going to know where this guy was probably awe week prior to that. The concert was announced back in february. Was that the grievance . That concert, the trigger event, or was it Something Else . The key here is motivation. We know there was a criminal act. We know that. Now we have to get into his mind and find out what motivated him to do that. Were there coconspirators . Was this a statement for some other political performance . Thats the professor in you. You have the thing that you did. Mens rea was your minds intent in doing it. In terms of the mens rea they are trying to do it with horrible success and they say this is terrorism. Not to you. Terrorism understands why someone was motivated to conduct app attack. It is not a mass murder of innocent civilians but people with a political event. For example, protesting wars overseas or what the American Government is doing in the United States. With dont know motivation. Say it was related to a gambling habit on the las vegas strip. That is potentially financial motivation. Say a family problem caused him to snap. Until we know motivation, until we know it was political, dont tell me its terrorism. That presumes i know why he did what he did. How about the money and the movement of the girlfriend, her sisters saying they believe she was sent away. How do those two components fit into your analyst i want to know what the timeline is. We know the timeline of the acquisition of the weapons. Presumably looking at things like his phone and email. We know the timeline of his communication with people, including his family and his girlfriend. If i look at his visa card, i should know things like when he acquired that hotel room. If i look at his laptop i might know when he started searching for things like concerts on the las vegas strip. If you put that three dimensionsal timeline with all the data in somebodys life and overlay the moment when he decided to accepted a lot of money to somebody he presumably loved we get a picture of when he started to make decisions and even why he might have started to make those decisions if you factor in the kind of things he was looking at on google. All right. Gentlemen, thank you very much. And it is shocking no matter what your politics are that to this point in our understanding this man was able to a mass this arsenal on over a number of years and modify them to make them so deadly. To this point we dont know that he broke any law in the set up to the planning of this. What he did is criminal, a monster, is obvious. Up next, we will honor the victims of the las vegas massacre. 58 innocent lives cut short in an in assistant. Stolen by a man and we dont know why. We will tell you their stories next.
