An Iraq War veteran staying at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas heard gunshots ringing out nearby late Sunday, and helped alert authorities to the location of the gunman. Chris Bethel heard a barrage of gunfire, now known to be 64-year-old Stephen Paddock shooting down from the 32nd floor of the hotel at a crowded music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday evening. Looking back at what he heard, Bethel said he heard Paddock switch weapons as he was reporting what he heard to law enforcement. Phew, phew, just a totally different sound,” Bethel told WFAA. Seconds are going by when I make the phone calls, and the rounds are still going.”The gunfire that Bethel heard from two floors below is now the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
