In newly released body camera footage, two Las Vegas police officers can be seen holding their position in a hallway one floor beneath the Oct. 1 gunman as rounds are continually fired into the concert crowd below.
“Oh, my God,” Las Vegas police officer Cordell Hendrex says on the video about four minutes after he and his trainee, Elif Varsin, first arrive on the 31st floor of Mandalay Bay in the middle of the mass shooting. The exclamation was in reaction to hearing more rapid gunfire just above them.
Still the pair hold their position, standing alongside three armed Mandalay Bay security guards.
