"We have sight on the suspect's door. I need everyone in the hallway to be aware of it and get back," a SWAT member can be heard telling the dispatcher.
"We need to pop this and see if we get any further response from this guy to see if he's in here or actually moved somewhere else."
The dispatcher is then heard relaying information to inform other officers nearby.
"All units on the 32nd floor, SWAT has explosive breach, everyone in the hallway needs to move back, all units move back," she said.
Moments later, as the SWAT team burst through Paddock's door, one of the officers could be heard saying: "Breach, breach, breach."

Paddock was reportedly found dead in the hotel room when officers stormed in. Police believe he killed himself before officers reached the hotel room he had been staying in for several days.
Paddock's body was found among an "arsenal" of weapons, including at least ten guns.
