HORRIBLE CARNAGE AT A JASON ALDEAN COUNTRY MUSIC CONCERT IN LAS VEGAS! STEPHEN PADDOCK , THE SHOOTER KILLED 59 AND INJURED 500 PLUS !Las Vegas police: Security responded to door alarm, drew fire from killerBy Euan McKirdy, Jason Hanna and Steve Almasy, CNNUpdated 11:18 PM ET, Fri October 6, 2017Now PlayingExploding targets found...Source: CNNExploding targets found in shooter's car 02:50Story highlights Lawyer for shooter's girlfriend, she's talking to authorities, not to mediaTracer rounds Paddock wanted to buy might have helped the gunman more accurately target victims(CNN)An open door a few rooms away from the Las Vegas suite of the man who was gunning down concertgoers at a music festival set off an alarm that prompted a response from a security guard, Clark County Undersheriff Kevin C. McMahill said Friday.Authorities believe that the guard drew the attention of mass murderer Stephen Paddock away from the chaos below and toward the hallway outside his room.The guard, Jesus Campos, was shot in the leg while checking on the alarm and according to a police-reported timeline, Paddock never fired on the crowd below again.The alarm from a room "a number of doors down" from Paddock's likely was a coincidence, McMahill told CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." The door was not forced open, had been open for a while, and Paddock didn't have the keys to that room. McMahill said that door either had been left open or didn't shut completely.Paddock took his own life, authorities have said, after killing 58 people and causing injury to about 500 more.close dialogTell us where to send you Reliable SourcesStay a step ahead with the latest scoops in media, entertainment and politicsActivate Reliable SourcesBy subscribing you agree to ourprivacy policy.McMahill spoke to CNN after telling reporters at a news conference that investigators looking into Sunday's massacre have found no known nexus to terror or connections to ISIS.They have no credible information as to Paddock's motive, despite more than 1,000 leads and tips, McMahill said at the news conference.
