Audio Of Jesus Campos Meeting Stephen Paddock Released

Audio of Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos released

Audio of the moment Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos met with Stephen Paddock has been released to the public. 

The 24-second audio of the dispatch call contains the voice of Campos, as he reports “shots fired” at the 32nd floor of the hotel-casino.

“Hey, there are shots fired in 32-135,” Campos says.

Rt.com reports: Campos was referring to the room number where Paddock brought a large cache of weapons, and had been preparing to fire on the crowd watching the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival across the street from the hotel.

When Campos approached Paddock’s hotel room, Paddock shot him in the leg. The shooter also had cameras positioned on a cart outside his room and on his door as well. Paddock fired some 200 rounds at the door while Campos was outside. The security guard was struck one time, police said, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Paddock carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, killing 58 people, and injuring hundreds more.

Since the October 1 massacre, Campos has only spoken about the incident one time, when he talked with Ellen Degeneres on her television show, which aired on October 18.

On the show, he described how he called in the report about shots being fired to hotel security after being shot in the leg. The hotel, and the police, have not yet said when authorities from the hotel notified police of the shooting. Paddock continued to fire his gun for 10 uninterrupted minutes.

At an October 13 news conference, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo noted that an earlier timeline of events released by police, which suggested Paddock shot Campos six minutes before he started firing into the crowd at 9:59pm on October 1, may not have been accurate, according to the AP.

Lombardo said that 9:59pm was when the security guard first reported that he had came across a doorway that Paddock blocked off.

The audio clip was not released with a timestamp, and no explanation from MGM was given as to why the clip is just being released now, the LA Times reported.

  1. I think we all have a good guess as to why they made sure the audio they released doesn’t have a timestamp. Just one more on the endless list of questionable, nonsensical, self contradictory, unjustifiable facts involved with these ‘terrorist’ events.
