LVMPD Loses Court Battle To ‘Delay Release’ Of Oct. 1 Mass Shooting BodyCam Footage, Logs, 911 Calls

The Nevada Supreme Court has rejected a bid by Las Vegas Metro police to delay the release of records about the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, including officer body camera videos, 911 recordings, evidence logs and written interview reports, fox5 is reporting.

Fifty-eight people died and hundreds more were injured when Steven Paddock opened fire from the Mandalay Bay resort into an crowd of outdoor concert goers.

Five of seven justices said Friday that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department should make public the records sought by several media entities to shed light on the investigation of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Department lawyers argue that the investigation is not complete, and that it will be too time-consuming and costly to quickly comply with the public records requests.
