Footage taken from high up inside the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas on October 1 shows people running as gunshots targeted people at a music festival below.
Fifty-eight people were killed and nearly 550 were injured in the mass shooting.
The video, taken from a high floor of the hotel, shows first responders arriving at the scene. Moments later, gunshots can be heard. People are seen attempted to flee the Route 91 Harvest music festival, while others can be seen laying on the ground.
Volleys of continuous gunfire lasting about 10 seconds can be heard at the 1:26, 1:56, and again at 2:30.
The video includes commentary from those in the hotel room who are trying to figure out what is happening outside.
The shooting took place on the final night of the music festival as hundreds gathered to hear country music singer Jason Aldean. The gunman, Stephen Paddock, was later found dead in a hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay bay hotel from where he was firing upon the crowd and police below.
