“Campos was rushed to a nearby hospital after sustaining the injury and remains in good health. Hickey told The Daily Beast that the bullet is still in Campos’ leg and will be surgically removed at a later date.
Not long after the shooting, Campos said he was feeling well enough to leave the hospital, but staff and police urged him to stay to monitor his injury and interview him in the investigation. His family told NBC 3 News Las Vegas that he’s since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by Liliana Rodriguez, a co-worker at the Mandalay Bay”

Thanks for the link--this is the first picture I have seen of Campos--marked as a Tweet late yesterday, Oct. 6, five days after the incident. Then further down is another Tweet marked Oct. 5th, four days after the incident, again posted by the same person.

We learn of yet a NEW version of events from the story:

The Daily Beast reported Wednesday that Jesus Campos, a 25-year-old security guard at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, was the first person to locate where the intense gunfire was coming from Sunday evening. Upon locating the hotel room, Campos was shot in the right leg when Paddock fired more than 200 rounds through the door. He reportedly radioed for assistance, and armed officers rushed to the floor, exchanging in gunfire with the 64-year-old Paddock. When officers finally breached the hotel room, they say Paddock was dead on the floor of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

So, Campos finds the room, Paddock shoots 200 rounds through the door. Campos radios for assistance, and then armed officers rushed to the floor, and exchanged gunfire with Paddock.

But Paddock stopped firing after ten minutes, and it would be another hour before the door was breached and Paddock was found dead.

The Undersheriff says:

As he laid on the ground injured, Campos radioed to the dispatch center, which brought other guards and officers to the door. They reportedly exchanged gunfire with Paddock prior to blasting open the door and finding his dead body on the floor.

Again, first time we are hearing about shots being exchanged with Paddock.

Then, we know the location of the shooter,at ten or less minutes into the event, officers exchange fire with Paddock, and it takes another hour to breach the door?

Well, after firing 200 rounds through a door, how much of a door would be left?

And how do they know there were 200 rounds fired? Count holes? There would be multiple rounds going through an ever expanding hole or holes as then 200 rounds are expended. How much of a door is left after 200 rounds?

The article also tells us the Campos was armed only with a nightstick. So Paddock saw him, saw he had a nightstick and decides to throw 200 rounds at him, hitting him only in the leg, while the guy is exposed in an open hallway?

Then Paddocks offs himself instead of getting away.

Then the article says Campos help to clear rooms until ordered to go get medical attention, so Campos is still ambulatory, but is hospitalized for a number of days and leaves the hospital with the bullet still in his leg for a future operation.

If he was ambulatory, why was the bullet left in his leg? No removal, even after a few days?

And he was kept under wraps with no media coverage of the "hero" for days for what reason--until the FBI could come up with another version of events?

And why is it Campos who "finds" the room, investigating an alarm about an open door, when during the first ten minutes, the smoke alarm goes off because of the smoke from Paddock's guns (first story that came out) and guests in adjacent rooms and rooms below calling Security about the bullets firing?

And when the smoke alarm goes off the strobe lights for the entire floor go off. The security center of the hotel would be alerted immediately from the fire alarm system and would have dispatched guards for that reason, not about a door alarm.

And then it would be all hands on deck to investigate an active smoke alarm situation and potential fire in an occupied hotel.

The whole sequence of events and Campos' role in them is getting more mucked up with each passing day.
