Witnesses at last week's Las Vegas shooting, including one who was wounded, are saying that many emergency exits which would normally be open as required by strict laws on emergency egress at concert venues, were suddenly blocked by chain link fence on the night of the shooting, even though they were open on previous concert nights . One witness, Rocky Palermo, who was wounded in the pelvis, said that at 10 pm all exits on Las Vegas Boulevard where blocked with chain link fencing. Eight minutes later, the shooting started.
Palermo, who had been previously been interviewed by CNN about his injuries, said:
"Every other night at the concert, everybody kind of exited out of Las Vegas Boulevard, that was standard, that was routine to get out of the concert and go down and go to the next casino. Well at ten o'clock they closed every exit on Las Vegas Boulevard, every single one, they gated them all closed with chain link fences. Ten o'eight the shooting started and...we were pigs sitting in a coral, we only had one exit to go out of. The same exits we came in and left Friday and Saturday night were definitely closed. There were people who went over there and trying to leave and there were cops telling them, no you have to go the other way..." (at 1:37 in video)
