Active Shooter in Vegas!

[BIAD]

Just to keep things in perspective...

Reports of second massacre at Hooters night of Las Vegas tragedy are false.

'Sunday afternoon social media was buzzing with reports of a second massacre that had occurred on
Oct. 1 in addition to the massacre at the Route 91 Music Festival in Las Vegas, claiming a second
attack had occurred at Hooters Hotel and Casino.

This is 100 percent fake news.

People died that night, others were shot. Using a tragedy like that for entertainment purposes to further
an outrageous agenda is a disgrace.
There was no other shooting or massacre at Hooters.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers who were inside the concert venue when the shooting
was occurring, started to direct concert goers, some who were shot out of the venue eastbound to Hooters.

That’s what you do when you have an active shooter incident, you get everyone who can walk or crawl out
of the immediate area where the gunshots are being targeted.

Rescue units were on scene at Hooters placing the wounded inside the ambulances. That’s why there were
emergency medical personnel placing the wounded and injured inside the rescue units who were staging
at Hooters.

What made the situation worse was that those escaping the carnage at the concert venue stampeded into
the Hooters Hotel for cover.

You can clearly hear the LVMPD radio traffic from the night of the shooting when one officer tells the dispatcher,
“Control 3Mary9, I’m at the center with other officers here, we got a lot of wounded. We’re sending them towards
the Reno side towards Hooters [out of harm’s way].”

A dealer who was working inside Hooters on the night of the massacre told Nevada Public Radio on Oct. 2 that
you could hear the gunshots outside and people were coming into the casino who were shot and wounded.
The dealer stated that there were bodies in front of the casino that were just lying there, people who ran from
the venue, they just died right there.

The emergency medical personnel and the police did an outstanding job that night placing their own lives in
jeopardy to get people away from the gunfire. Las Vegas buried LVMPD officer Charleston Hartfield on Friday
who was off duty attending the concert that night with his wife.

After he made sure that his wife was safe, he started to help move concert goers out of the venue when he was
shot and killed....'

Schanda Bennett was working her black jack table at the Hooters Casino Hotel during Sunday night's massacre.
She tells NPR's Kelly McEvers concert goers, some injured, rushed into the casino.

KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:

Schanda Bennett was working last night at the Hooters Casino Hotel in Las Vegas when the shooting started.
That casino's close to the concert venue where last night's attack happened. Schanda Bennett is a blackjack
dealer.
She had two players at her table when the shots started. She says she put the cover on her table and then hid
underneath.

And then people started running into her casino, people who were running away from the shooting.
She described it to me earlier today when I talked to her on the phone.

Transcript:

SCHANDA BENNETT: There was no plan of evacuation or action whatsoever. Like, we had no idea what the
hell we were supposed to do. Some of the girls ran out into the chaos. They ran out of the front door.

MCEVERS: Some of the people you work with.

BENNETT: Yeah. You could hear the gunshots outside. So when you're going through this thing and you're at work,
I mean, literally we're in Las Vegas. So it's like, do I lose my job? Like, what do you do? Like, how much do they carry?
Like, this is a 24-hour city. You know what I mean? There's no excuses for...

MCEVERS: Yeah.

BENNETT: ...Them to not open their doors. You get what I'm saying? So while all of this is going on, I'm like, do I leave?
Do I stay? But I'm seeing people coming in with bullet wounds in their bodies. There's people with busted knees, everything.
And like, it was just horrible. There's blood everywhere. You have people hiding under the tables of the casino, like, literally
in the pit. Normally, like, I don't know if you've ever gambled before, but you know nobody can come in the middle of the pit.

MCEVERS: Right.

BENNETT: We had people everywhere. They were back near the cage with us. So the door that we go in to, like, count our
money - we had them in there with us. They were back in the employee dining room. They were everywhere.
They were in the hallways. They were everywhere.

MCEVERS: How many people do you think - I mean, did you see?

BENNETT: How many people? I saw at least 400 people. How many wounded people? It was at least 70 wounded people.
I mean, we had Metro all out in the front. There were people - there were bodies in the front of the casino that was just laying
there. People that ran from the venue - they just died right there.

MCEVERS: So what else did you do? So you hid under a table for a while. Then you got up. Then you heard the gunshots,
and you got back down on the floor.

BENNETT: I got back down on the floor. And then this is when people are still running in. Like, this lasted for a good 20 to 25
minutes. It had to. It probably was longer than that. But the amount of people that was running in was all night that just kept
coming in from every single direction.

Eventually everybody was, like, shoveled from the back where the employee dining room and the locker rooms and the
bathrooms are. But that was, like, a hour and a half after everything happened.

So I was just, like, doing what I could do - passing out water. I was praying with a number of the concertgoers.
One lady - she lost her kid. So I mean, we're crying. We're praying. It's just crazy. It was something - like, it was a war zone.
Like, it's, like, crazy. Yeah, you don't want to see that.

MCEVERS: What time did you finally leave?

BENNETT: I finally left around 1 a.m. I finally left around - at 1 a.m. And I forgot, yeah, I actually did attempt to go leave,
and then I came - I just went back inside. I was like, I'm not going to go to my car. I'm just going to go back inside and stay
here. And I just stayed even though, like I said, a number of other people - they left.

MCEVERS: And so did you just go home? Or I mean, and...

BENNETT: Actually, I didn't just go home. I ended up, like, taking some kids home. It was, like, two girls and a guy.
One of the girls didn't have any shoes on. Like, one of them lost their cellphone. And I took them home.
So they live in Henderson, but I live, like, right off of Las Vegas Boulevard. So I took them home. I mean, that was
the least that I could do.

MCEVERS: What are you thinking today about all this?

BENNETT: I'm just emotional right now. I haven't been to sleep. I've only slept for, like, literally an hour and a half maybe.
And that wasn't even really sleep, you know what I mean? Like, I just closed my eyes. I've been - I've - I mean, I've been
crying. I've been all over the place. It's just - I'm still - it's still surreal. Like, it's just - it doesn't feel real, but you know it's
real from what you see. Like, this is, like - I can't believe it happened.

MCEVERS: Thanks a lot, Schanda Bennett. We appreciate it. And seriously, take care.

BENNETT: You, too. Thank you so much.

One may notice that in the second interview, Ms. McEvers sets out the situation before speaking to the
Hooters croupier. In the actual interview, the host never asks where Ms. Bennett initially thought the shots
were coming from and any later comments are based on past-tense information, after the reports of the
concert-massacre.
