The security guard who was shot at the beginning of the Las Vegas gunman’s rampage has finally spoken out about his brush with death.

Jesus Campos had several interviews scheduled last week, before he cancelled them all and disappeared.

But he resurfaced on Tuesday, when Ellen announced that she would be interviewing him on her show.

Ellen released a preview of the interview Wednesday morning, in which Campos describes the moment that gunman Stephen Paddock started shooting at him through the door of his Mandalay Bay hotel room suite.

Sitting next to maintenance worker Stephen Schuck, who was also shot at by Paddock, Campos says he went up to the 32nd floor to figure out why a fire escape door wasn’t opening.

When he reached the 32nd floor he said he heard ‘drilling sounds’ and assumed they were doing work nearby. It’s unclear what those drilling sounds were. The most recent police timeline says that Paddock hadn’t started shooting at the festival until after Campos arrived on the floor and was injured.

The stairwell door emptied onto the 32nd floor right outside Paddock’s corner suite, and Campos was walking away from the room when he says the gunman started shooting at him.

‘I heard rapid fire,’ Campos recalled. ‘At first I took cover. I felt a burning sensation. I went to go lift my pant leg up and I saw the blood and that’s when I called it in on my radio.’

Police believe Paddock was tipped off to Campos’ arrival due to security cameras he rigged in the hallway. They say he fired 200 gunshots through the door at Campos before opening fire at a music festival across the street through a broken window in his room.

Shuck arrived on the floor just as Campos was being shot at, and he credits the security guard with saving his life.
