Well isn't
that interesting.
One thing about Campos is that he was, according to an early report, hit by a
ricochet; after being deflected, the bullet is considerable slowed down, which means less serious injuries. Apparently he walked around for at least an hour after the injury, but spent, what?—an entire week?—in the hospital. And now he's vamoosed.
Any further details on Campos' injury?
Now about the 'Hispanic women who said they'd all die'—that Snopes piece linked by elfismiles includes this:
Damon Zumwalt, CEO of Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC), the company that ran security at the concert, told Buzzfeed that the initial reports surrounding this episode were false. However, it’s not clear whether this means the woman in question did not warn or threaten concert-goers about the shooting, security staff did not remove her from the venue, or whether CSC contends that there was no incident involving any woman issuing any threats at all during the concert.
Zumwalt told us he believed one woman had been ejected from the festival for being “inebriated” but said he had heard “no report of any information relative to your story” and referred us to MGM Resorts International, which owns and operates the Mandalay Bay Hotel and contracted CSC to provide security at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
We asked Zumwalt to offer further clarification about his response, whose meaning is unclear, and asked MGM about the incident, but did not receive an answer from either party by publication time.

"Contemporary Services Corporation," great name. Knowing how some of these security companies operate, we owe it to ourselves to take a quick look at CSC. Note the Wikipedia flags at top:

Contemporary Services Corporation, (CSC) is a crowd management and security company. They operate at concerts, professional sporting events, collegiate athletic events, and conventions.[citation needed]
History
CSC was founded in Los Angeles in 1967.[citation needed]
As of 2015, they operate more than 50 branch locations serving over 200 cities within the United States and Canada.[citation needed]
CSC’s services have been “Designated” as Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT) by the United States Department of Homeland Security under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act (SAFETY Act) of 2002.[citation needed]CSC protected certain establishments such as strip malls and department stores during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
At one point, CSC Officials traveled to North Sentinel Island in an attempt to recruit the Sentinelese into their rankings but failed.
[what's that about? see links at Wiki page]During VidCon 2017, two heroic CSC guards destroyed YouTuber Christian Burns. The guards stood their ground and prevented him from barging his way into the Anaheim Convention Center.
Current operations
CSC is the largest event staff, and one of the largest security companies in North America. They are present in almost every major city in the US and Canada and are easily recognizable by their yellow and black shirts.
CSC has also provided extra security for numerous presidential inaugurations since 1980. CSC provides services for major convention shows across the US and Canada and are well known at most convention centers. After CSC's rival Staff Pro expanded into the Japanese market in the early 90's, CSC shortly followed. In Japan, they currently are contracted with the JFRC to operate freight trains from Tokyo to Takahagi.
They are the main line of security for several NFL teams, such as the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.
CSC also provides security for the Washington Nationals, Miami Marlins, Cleveland Indians, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim MLB teams.
They provide services at the Coachella Music Festival in Indo California.
CSC's arch rival is Staff Pro, a fellow security company. Violent clashes between CSC and Staff Pro employees have occurred. Despite the tensions, there are numerous events where they are forced to collaborate, such as Comic Con International and E3. Another one of CSC's arch rivals is Elite, a San Diego based security company.

She and co-workers at the private security firm Contemporary Services Corporation lifted people over barriers and hid them behind pillars and under the stage. One of its guards was among the 58 people who died.

"We're the ones often in the background, in the shadows, but we were actually the ones right there in the thick of it all," he said.
The staff was already unsettled before the shooting because a drunken attendee had punched one of their guards in the face Saturday, putting the guard in the hospital.
Supervisor Cheryl Metzler was working Sunday in a command center that resembles a shipping container, watching the concert on seven large surveillance monitors, when someone called to ask if there were supposed to be pyrotechnics at the show.
As people began to flee, the guards fanned out across the venue, coaxing shell-shocked concertgoers too frightened to move to head to a safer spot.

Law enforcement officials hailed Jesus Campos, an unarmed security guard at the Mandalay Bay hotel casino, as an "absolute hero" for alerting officers to the gunman's location despite having been shot in the leg.
