Web Extra: Las Vegas Police Update On Mass Shooting

WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE
ON THE SITUATION AS I KNOW IT
AT THIS POINT.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR
YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
INVESTIGATION IS GOING TO BE
LONG AND CONTRACTED.
BEFORE AWAY GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH
IT.
BUT IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I
WANTED TO UPDATE YOU WITH IS WE
HAVE LOCATED THE VEHICLES THAT
I HAD PUT OUT IN THE FIRST
BRIEFING.
AND WE BELIEVE -- WE'RE
CONFIDENT BUT NOT 100% SURE, WE
HAVE LOCATED THE FEMALE PERSON
OF INTEREST.
SO I WANT THE PEOPLE TO FEEL
CONFIDENT AND CALM IN THAT
ASPECT THAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED
A LOT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME.
NOW, THE NUMBER OF INJURED, I
DO NOT KNOW YET.
BUT WE ARE LOOKING IN EXCESS OF
50 INDIVIDUALS DEAD AND OVER
200 INDIVIDUALS INJURED AT THIS
POINT.
I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE YOU AN
ACCURATE NUMBER AND IT BE
WRONG.
SO SUBSEQUENTLY THAT IS WHY I'M
PORTRAYING IT IN THAT MANNER.
NOW, THE SUSPECT I AM GOING TO
PROVIDE YOU HIS I DON'T AT THIS
POINT.
HIS NAME IS STEVEN PADDOCK.
LAST NAME SPELLED PADDOCKSTON
WITH A DATE OF BIRTH OF APRIL
9, 1953.
WE LOCATED NUMEROUS FIREARMS
WITHIN THE ROOM THAT HE
OCCUPIED.
AND THAT'S LIKE I STATED
EARLIER, IT'S GOING TO BE A
LONG AND TEDIOUS INVESTIGATION.
NOW, WE'RE BRINGING IN ALL THE
RESOURCES OF THE FBI TO ASSIST
US IN THIS INVESTIGATION.
IN PARTICULAR, TWO OF THEIR
VICTIM WITNESS ADVOCATES.
AND INSURE THAT WE'RE GETTING
ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT WE CAN
POSSIBLY OBTAIN.
NOW, FURTHERMORE, I WANT TO
PROVIDE YOU THE PHONE NUMBER
THAT I SAID I WOULD PROVIDE IN
THE FIRST BRIEFING.
THAT NUMBER FOR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS TO GET AN UPDATE ON
LOVED ONES IS ONE-866-535-5654.
ONE MORE TIME.
ONE HILLARY C LINTON 866-535-
5654.
OBVIOUSLY A TRAGIC INNOCENT
AND ONE WE HAVE NEVER
EXPERIENCED IN THIS VALLEY.
SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO
DO IS THE BEST WE CAN TO GET
OUR FIRST RESPONDERS BACK ON
THEIR FEET AND
RESPONDING AND CONDUCTING A
PROPER INVESTIGATION AND INSURE
THAT WE HAVE THE SAFETY OF THIS
COMMUNITY AT HEART.
MY CUB DOLENCE GOING GO OUT TO
THE LOVED ONES THAT LOST THEIR
LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND WE WILL.BEST WE CAN TO MAKE
IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU
TO GET INFORMATION AS WE KNOW
IT.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO SEE THE FBI COUNTY FIRE AND
COMMISSIONER BEHIND ME.
SHOWS THAT WE HAVE FULL SUPPORT
OF ALL THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES
TO SOLVE THIS SITUATION AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE.
Reporter: DO YOU HAVE ANY
SENSE OF MOTIVE?
NO, NOT YET.
Reporter: HOW MANY LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS LOST THEIR
LIVES?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
BECAUSE THERE'S SOME OFFICERS
FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT
WAS ATTENDING THE CONCERT.
SO I DON'T HAVE AN ACCURATE
NUMBER OF THAT YET.
Reporter: HAVE YOU HAD AN
UPDATE ON YOUR OFFICERS?
ONE WAS CRITICAL BUT STABLE
AND ONE OF MY OFFICERS WAS OFF
DUTY ATTENDING THE CONCERT AND
LOST HIS LIFE.
Reporter: CAN YOU GIVE ANY
MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FIRE AM?
NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE
DETAILS ON THE FIREARMS.
ALL WE KNOW, THEY WERE RIFLES.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW AT THIS
POINT.
WE'RE EXECUTING A SEARCH
WARRANT ON THE ROOM AS WE
SPEAK.
Reporter: HOW YOU'RE DOING?
WE'RE HOLDING UP.
WE'RE GOING TO DO THE BEST WE
CAN.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE PAID TO DO.
BECAUSE NOBODY'S PAID TO DO
WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT
NOW.
BUT IN MY PURVIEW WITH THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY'RE
DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.
YOU SAID THERE WERE A
NUMBER OF OTHER FIREARMS IN THE
ROOM.
IN THE ROOM.
IN THE ROOM OF THE HOTEL.
WE HAVE OFFICERS AT HIS
RESIDENCE.
WE'LL BE EXECUTERRING A SEARCH
WARRANT THERE ALSO, SHORTLY.
Reporter: HOW DOES A CITY
RECOVER FROM THIS?
THAT'S A HARD QUESTION TO
ANSWER AT THIS POINT.
IT'S TOO EARLY IN THE PROCESS
AND PLEASE GIVE US TIME SO WE
CAN DO A GOOD JOB.
THANK YOU, I WOULD PROVIDE YOU
AN UPDATE ON A REGULAR BASIS AT
APPROXIMATELY A TWO HOUR WINDOW
AT A TIME.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE DON'T
GET A LOT OF INFORMATION ALL AT
ONCE.
SO PLEASE BEAR WITH US WHEN I
PROVIDE YOU INFORMATION.
Reporter: SEVERAL PEOPLE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA ARE ASKING WHERE
THEY CAN DONATE BLOOD AND IF
THEY CAN.
ANY IDEA?
THE PHONE NUMBER THAT I
PROVIDED WE WILL GET THAT
INFORMATION OUT.
BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, I'M
NOT COMFORTABLE PROVIDING THAT
INFORMATION BECAUSE WE'RE
OVERWHELMED IN THE
MEDICAL SERVICES AT ALL THE
HOSPITALS RIGHT NOW.
BUT UNITED BLOOD SERVICES HAS
RESPONDED.
ONCE THEY GET ALL THEIR
PERSONNEL ON THE GROUND, AND
MORE PEOPLE IN PLACE, WE'LL BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT INFO.
Reporter: PEOPLE LOOKING
FOR THEIR LOVED ONES.
ARE FAMILIES BEING DIRECTED TO
COME HERE?
YES, TWO LOCATIONS WHERE
THEY HAVE BEEN RESPONDING.
ONE AT SOUTH CENTRAL AREA
COMMAND.
WHICH IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
THE MANDALAY BAY AND ALSO HERE.
WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO COME TO
POLICE HEADQUARTERS ON MARTIN
LUTHER KING SO THEY'RE NOT
INUNDATED WITH PEOPLE
