The Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino did not call police until after Stephen Paddock began firing on the Route 91 music festival from his 32nd floor room, a source close to the investigation told the Associated Press late Wednesday.

According to the AP report, despite being warned by two employees that Paddock had turned his suite into a shooting gallery, and despite panicked calls from neighboring rooms, the MGM hotel held off on contacting authorities until after Paddock’s massacre was underway.
