what you saw and heard in the thick of this madness. >> well, i was at new york-new york with a bunch of my friends. i went up to get some air and there's a bridge between new york-new york and the mgm. so, when i got on the bridge, as soon as i got on the bridge, you can see mandalay bay right from that vantage point. it's only three-quarters of a mile up the street. so, you know, all the cops were already out. you see the ambulance was there. i immediately started to put on my journalism hat and went down and started shoot something video. but you could see that this was an actual staging area where they were taking, you know, a lot of people and ambulances, i tweeted out some video of the ambulances, six or seven ambulances coming down the road all at one time to the scene so they could triage these guys and get them to the hospital. all that time, while that was going on, though, in the background of this whole thing was, they hadn't gotten this guy yet, so, you know -- and it was -

scary. it's been a really difficult scary night here in a place that's known for more fun, people come out here to relax and it's turned into chaos. >> that's my question bill. i hate to jump in on you. i've stayed at mandalay bay before, i know that area very well and that time of the night when you talk about fun, the streets are full in las vegas and there's a lot of people around, there's a lot of commotion around, a lot of things happening. at what point did you realize this was beyond that normal evening activity in las vegas on the strip. >> well, i think as soon as i walked out the door. i mean, there was such a massive presence of police and ambulances i knew something had happened. and it was big. you know, just saying to one person, hey, what's going on, everybody knew. so, you know, people are coming up, tourists at the hotel now crying with their loved ones and, you know, you just -- you know, you see the terror on people's faces. and you know, one of the big things here, too, is as

as the hotels got locked down these people got separated from their loved ones. you couldn't get in and out of the hotels at one point. it was all locked up. bill. >> go ahead. >> i wanted to make sure that you are okay. i think we missed that whole thing. you are okay, you weren't physically in the area where the shooting was happened just to be clear, you're fine. >> well, i am fine but one of the scary parts of this whole thing was when we were on that bridge, we heard automatic gunfire. it was loud. and there was about -- i'd say there was 75 to a hundred people on that bridge and we all took off. we took off running. we ran about three blocks away from the mgm. it was -- it was very scarily. >> it sounds absolutely horrifying, bill. appreciate your firsthand account, bill. hopefully you get a chance to catch up and decompress from this as well but the headline here, 20 plus dead, 100 plus injured in las vegas on the vigas strip this morning. bill, thanks very much. do appreciate your time this morning. let's stay in las vegas now.

that's where officials are telling us the 32nd floor, he said he saw curtains just tattered from shrapnel, from bullets and he said it was just smoke and bullets raining down, and again, people didn't seem to realize what the sound was [inaudible] was going on and once they realized what was going on it just turned into chaos with people running and he, himself, tried to duck behind a car just to get out of the way. steve, maureen. >> lauren, are you hearing anything about the suspect that was taken down by police? we know that they are looking for a woman, her picture is out, marilou danley but have you heard anything about the suspect believed to be the lone wolf in this shooting rampage? >> reporter: well, police are telling us they do know this is someone who is from the las vegas area. at this point they are not willing to say what the motive was. they do not know or are not telling us just yet and they do not know

sort of religious motivation. of course, a lot of people starting to speculate what this was and police are cautioning people to be safe, to be careful with that until they know more. of course they are looking for this companion, this marilou danley who they have put out a photo and of course a car and a license plate looking for her. they have a lot of questions for her. they've asked if anybody knows her connection to this incident, to call 911 and at this point, the suspect, what we do know at least confirmed by us at fox, we do know this was somebody who was from this area but we are still working to confirm a lot more details at this point. >> all right, lauren blanchard in las vegas with an update. if you hear any more information let us know so we can update our audience on what's happening on the las vegas strip. >> let's switch it up. horrhorrible start to the day. let's check in with tucker barnes. >> good morning, steve. cool temperatures, down to 41 degrees rht
