    According to a new report from CBS, a maintenance worker by the name of Stephen Schuck warned the hotel of the Las Vegas Shooter.

    A maintenance worker said Wednesday he told hotel dispatchers to call police and report a gunman had opened fire with a rifle inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino hotel before the shooter began firing from his high-rise suite into a crowd at a nearby musical performance.

    The revised timeline has renewed questions about whether better communication might have allowed police to respond more quickly and take out the gunman before he committed the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

    Worker Stephen Schuck says he was checking out a report of a jammed fire door on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay when he heard gunshots and a hotel security guard, who had been shot in the leg, peeked out from an alcove 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.

    “It was kind of relentless so I called over the radio what was going on,” he said. “As soon as the shooting stopped we made our way down the hallway and took cover again and then the shooting started again.”

    This is just more shocking news to come out from the Las Vegas investigation. As we know the entire narrative seems to change every day and we seem to have more questions then we have answers. We still are looking to find out what drove this crazy man to commit such a heinous crime and now, why the Hospital wasn’t able to effectively communicate the warning from the maintenance worker to the Police in time.
