Vegas security guard who was wounded while trying to stop shooter Stephen Paddock at the Mandalay Bay Hotel on Oct. 1 has spoken out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show — after many had expressed

concern over his whereabouts.

Jesus Campos recounted to DeGeneres how he was shot in the leg as he approached the room on the 32nd floor of the hotel on the Las Vegas strip. From that corner room, Paddock fired down onto

a crowd of some 22,000 people at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. According to authorities, the gunfire continued off and on for about nine to 11 minutes. Paddock killed 58 and injured

another 489.

Campos’ appearance on a pre-taped episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show ends speculation about his whereabouts after he skipped out on other scheduled interviews, and – according to some –

went “missing.” The interview is set to air on Wednesday.

“I’m walking down [the hallway] and I believe that’s what caught the shooter’s attention,” Campos told DeGeneres, noting that he was on duty, patrolling the stairwells when he noticed the

door to the 32nd floor was “blocked off.”

“As I was walking down I heard rapid fire and at first I took cover. I felt a burning sensation. I went to go lift my pant leg up and I saw the blood. That’s when I called it in on my radio,

that shots had been fired.”
