Las Vegas police have fired an officer who 'froze' in hotel hallway during 2017 massacre
As a gunman opened fire on concertgoers from his Las Vegas suite in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, Officer Cordell Hendrex waited in a hallway a floor below while the bullets flew, a police report said.
Hendrex remained on the 31st floor of the hotel as the shooter targeted the Route 91 Harvest festival in October 2017. Other officers dashed toward the gunman's perch on the 32nd floor, leaving Hendrex a floor below with a police trainee and a hotel security team. "I know I hesitated, and I remember being terrified with fear and I think that I froze right there in the middle of the hall for how long I can't say," The Las Vegas Review-Journal quoted him as saying last year.
