basically i was at the mandalay bay. it was very quiet. i was just siting in the taxi waiting for a ride. all of a sudden a heard a couple pops. i thought it was fireworks coming from the festival across the street. so i didn't think much about it. then a couple seconds later it started again. i just decided to turn on my video on my cell phone. and i still didn't know what was going on. and i saw a security guard going by. it just was -- everything just seemed so normal. i didn't think anything of it. then i started hearing my fellow taxi drivers are our dispatch radio saying, oh, yeah, there's somebody shooting and it's over by the mandalay bay. and i thought, well, i'm right here by the mandalay bay and i don't hear anything going on. i did decide that maybe i should go ahead and get out of there. as i was coming back around, i heard and saw the shots. by then i realized something really was going on. but you only see that kind of stuff in movies really. i didn't really comprehend what was actually going on. so i came back around. by no

that was sort of closer to the mandalay bay. and then as we move to the left, that's where all the crowd was. so you can see at least from where we are on the 38th floor, you can pretty much see everything that was going on inside this concert. you can see a lot of people from this viewpoint. now we don't know if the shooter was six floors directly below us, to the left of us, or to the right of us. as i pan off here you'll get a better idea of just sort of where the mandalay bay is. you can see there's a lot more rooms off to the right of where we are and a little bit of some of the rooms to the left. as we look to the left -- >> joe, a said that as they were facing the stage they felt the shots were coming obviously from behind them but from the right side. does that make sense with what you're seeing? >> reporter: based on what we believe to be the stage, the shots actually came from behind the stage so from where looking at if the fans were facing the stage the shots would have been coming from their right or in front of the

today, but what's so, so surreal about this is i'm on the 24th floor of the mandalay bay. i have the exact view of this lunatic that killed everybody and i was looking out that window this afternoon and i said to myself, this looks so beautiful, it's such a beautiful setting that i'm going to stay an extra night and not go back and then i go and people are massacred because of that same view that i saw. >> and i know that you are thinking of your daughter, brian. >> yeah, yeah, so i have an 11-year-old daughter and what happened, robin, is after the first round of shooting, i ran down these steps then they -- a gentleman screamed, get in this room because we were in open fire then. we were running north, but we were right next to las vegas boulevard. i go into this room, it was like a little -- like a little production area, and the hardest moment for me is i saw like six young women, they were maybe 20, 22, they were all crying on the ground. i was trying to be calm. but i thought -- at the moment i thought of the orlando shooting because we were in this room, we didn't k

we didn't walk into the mandalay bay bay but it's a popular spot. you can walk in and get up to 22 floor i believe. i believe police said the window was broken. presumably he shot window out and then the first thing they're going to do is see if he cut the window or shot this out. being he was this prepared he cut the the window. at that particular hight they're not bulletproof indowes not l 3 glass. it's one step above plate glass. he could easily have cut it out and shot through that. >> i keep thinking about the people at the concert. jason aldean popular western singer and very popular concert. you go and first you hear shots i heard people saying i thought it was fire work or truck backfiring you're not keeping tram of of what you heat in a moment. >> people will be counted and say it sound like fireworks it's pop, potential, pop, pop, pop, pop, and the frequency of it tells you that's automatic weapon good we've soon a video of people posting and initially not ruch reaction because they think it's parts of the show. as we talked about the shoo

at this point it was hours before we knew he was over at mandalay bay. at this point every thought he was there at the festival, so who knew where he was going to go, who he was going after, what he was shooting. nobody knew. all of this was maybe in the course of like a five, ten minute period. but there was -- >> so he would shoot, pause and then shoot again. >> and it was -- it wasn't -- >> right. >> and it sounded like fireworks. >> and then he would stop for a while. >> a couple seconds, a couple minutes. i don't know. i have no concept of time and then start again. >> start again. >> and then at one point everyone was like -- there was somebody under there freaking out. every else was like shush because you don't know if this guy is standing in the doorway right now. you have no concept of what's going on, where this guy is or people are. you don't know. you know, you have people running, screaming past. i looked out and there was a guy standing over a girl that was like slumped down and there was just blood everywhere. and that's when we said we n

they were put on the floor of the hotel sweep in mandalay bay. we should know that stephen paddock has been collecting guns for years. but in the past year alone, he has amassed some 30-plus weapons, a gun shop owner in mesquite where he had a home said that on september 28th, paddock bought a weapon and that is the same day that he checked in to the mandalay bay hotel. listen to the gun shop owner. >> i was ill. made me ill to think that we had interacted with him and he committed a tragedy. >> he went on the say that he did not sell stephen paddock any ammunition or any of those bump stocks we've talked about all day long. that's what kind of makes the trigger turn into automatically engaged weapon, shep. he also points out and we should point this out, the reason the bump stops are legal in nevada is because they don't physically alter the weapon. it's taken on and taken off. so it's legal now. >> shepard: what else are we learning from investigators about the girlfriend? >> we know that marilou danley is in her third hour of questioning in lo
