Published | Video Starts at 00:42

Well, apparently the defendant, and we know that he had been casing the hotel while he was in the hotel. We have video, and you will see that because we've been very transparent with the evidence. But He [the suspect] goes into that room to take off a long coat that he has on. So that's a room. That's a room. And he discards the coat. He's wearing a long, dark coat because he has to hide the Mossberg pump action shotgun. (00:42–02:56)
