Las Vegas - A maintenance worker said Wednesday that he told hotel dispatchers to call police to report someone had opened fire inside the Mandalay Bay Resort. Worker Stephen Schuck says he was checking out a report of a jammed fire door on the 32nd floor of the resort when he heard gunshots. That is when a hotel security guard who had been shot in the leg appeared and told him to take cover.
"As soon as I started to go to a door to my left, the rounds started coming down the hallway," Schuck said. "I could feel them pass right behind my head." "As soon as the shooting stopped, we made our way down the hallway and took cover again, and then the shooting started again." Schuck says he then called over the radio to let other staff members know what was going on. The guard who was injured says he used his radio and possibly a hallway phone to also call hotel dispatchers for help. On Monday, police said they believe gunman Stephen Paddock shot a hotel security guard through the door of his suite six minutes before he started spraying bullets into the crowd of a country music festival, killing 58 people and injuring over 500. That account differs from the one police gave last week when they said Paddock fired through the door of his room and injured the guard after shooting into the crowd. The company that owns Mandalay Bay has questioned the new timeline. "We believe what is currently being expressed may not be accurate. This remains an ongoing investigation with a lot of moving parts," said Debra DeShong, a spokeswoman for MGM Resorts International.
