Jesus Campos had no firearm when he found Stephen Paddock and approached his room on the 32rd floor of Mandalay Bay on Sunday night.
Paddock, who had rigged cameras in the hallway and on the peephole of the door, saw Campos coming and fired through the door, hitting him in the leg, said Dave Hickey, president of the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America. The union represents Campos and hundreds of security guards at Mandalay Bay.
When Campos was hit, he radioed casino dispatch and told him his location and Paddocks. We received information via their dispatch center...that helped us locate where this individual was sequestered, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters Tuesday.
Police officers who subsequently approached the room received gunfire and backed off until SWAT responded, Lombardo said.
We would not have engaged this individual in the time lapse we did without their assistance, Lombardo later added.
Paddock had somehow blocked stairwell doors leading to the hallway outside of his room, Hickey said, meaning Campos had to take the elevator on his quest to find the source of the gunfire that was killing dozens below. The door to the room itself was also barricaded, Campos found when he tried to open it, just before the bullets came through the door.

I also wonder how you block stairwell doors without anyone noticing. "Excuse me while I push this dresser down the hall"?
This whole thing is going to end up being another ‘Grassy Knoll’ and 50 years from now, people will STILL not have any answers.
Something is afoot!
This doesnt pass the smell test........Union BS
nobody messes with da Jesus
Much simpler ways to block doors.
He blockaded the stairway doors?
The boy did some planning.
Or somebody did some planning.
Zip tie? Penny?
I'm SURE the FBI will TOTALLY IGNORE this golden nugget because it might lead to a place that doesn't fit their narrative.

Pennies in the door? Brings back memories of bad behavior when much younger. It might work but I guess we would need to see the door.

I sure wouldn’t wanna make it a bragging point that I forgot to tell my people to not try to capture a man armed with automatic weapons - behind a locked door, yet - when the employee is unarmed.
thank you free market for providing a heroic security guard
See, if the people in the front row had just sat down this could have all been avoided.
It would be nice if anyone other than this one girl could be found who has any memory such a thing happening. She’s pretty much...like...um...it like really...messed up my birthday, y’know...
Cute girl, though.
Freshman year of college. “Pennying in” someone was common in our dorm. First-floor victims were awaited at their windows with large quantities of water balloons. A blast from the past.
LOL - that’s the kind of bad behavior I was thinking of.
Totally agree. When they announce the shooter was on anti anxiety drugs then you know. Because its just not a mass shooting without anti anxiety meds. Fortunately a lot of people have woken up.
Would be worth finding the security guard. She did seem relatively credible
Things are not adding up.
He called in the position and SWAT responded at that location an HOUR later? Every time we get a new piece of info it doesnt fit. I really believe there is more BS than hard news in this event.

At my school had a frat house that would ice down sidewalks in winter - then rate people as fell .....
Get expelled after dressing as KKK for Halloween
Was she an employee?
