Video shows Vegas police telling people to hide from gunfire
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Some of the first officers to respond to the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history directed people to take cover, armed themselves and gathered in groups to try to find and stop the Las Vegas gunman, according to video from police body-worn cameras that was released Wednesday.
"It's coming from the Mandalay Bay!" an officer is heard saying on one video.
"Stay down!" he tells unseen people during bursts of rapid gunfire, while a dispatcher on his police radio says multiple people have gunshot wounds. "Over here! Get behind the police car!"
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released 28 clips of body-camera video ranging from a few seconds to more than two hours.
