HOTEL.

BELIEVE TWO OTHER OFFICERS WERE
SHOT.
BEFORE YOU WENT ON AIR THERE WAS
AN AMBULANCE NORTHBOUND
PARADISE, BEHIND IT A PICK UP
WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE SHOOTING
VICTIMS IT LOOKS BAD.
UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY
VISUAL AT THE GROUND THERE AT
THE SCENE.
BUT, FROM WHAT I HEARD, IT IS
SHUT DOWN LAS VEGAS BOULEVARD,

REGIONAL CENTER 15 -- I-15.

BACKGROUND IN LAW ENFORCEMENT,

CRUISERS GOING TOWARD MANDALAY
BAY, AND HOW MANY OFFICERS AND
AMBULANCES HEADED THAT WAY, YOU
KNEW SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC
HAPPENED?
TRUE.
USUALLY, IN POLICE SPEAK
CALVARY, WAS ROLLING.
I THOUGHT A OFFICER INVOLVED IN
A FIGHT BUT I SAW AMBULANCE AND
FIRE TRUCK THAT WAY.
FROM THIS DIRECT, THAT SPIKED MY
RADAR, IF YOU WILL.
AND THAT IS WHAT I BROUGHT UP
POLICE APP, AND LISTENED TO
TRAFFIC AS THINGS WERE
HAPPENING.
NOW WHAT IS THIS SITUATION

NORTHBOUND TODAY THE FRAHM --
TRATRAUMA CENTER, SO FAR THERE WERE
THEIR AMBULANCES THAT CIVILIAN
PICK UP.
WHICH LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE
SHOOTING VICTIMS IN THE BACK BED
OF THE TRUCK.

SHOT IN THE SHOULDERS?
THAT IS -- I HEARD THAT ON
THE POLICE BROADCAST.
ALSO A WAMU SAID IN THE
