While there are still relatively few details about the man responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in US history, or his motive to kill at least 50 people and injure over 400 people, here is what we know so far, courtesy of the Telegraph and other public data sources.
The gunman responsible for the worst mass shooting in modern US history is believed to be a grandfather who lived in a remote desert home, reports Telegraph’s Leon Watson. Stephen Paddock, 64, was named by police as the perpetrator who left more than 50 dead. He was killed when officers blasted their way into his hotel room. Las Vegas police said they had located “numerous firearms within the room that he occupied.” Las Vegas Sheriff Lombardo said officers had confronted Paddock on the 32nd floor across the street from the concert. “There were at least 8 guns and a number of long rifles in the alleged shooter’s room”, per Las Vegas Police Undersheriff Kevin McMahill.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the brother of the Las Vegas shooter said that he was a normal guy who must have “snapped.” Eric Paddock said that ‘something happened’ to make his brother Stephen kill at least 50 people and injure 200. Eric said that there was ‘absolutely no indication he could do something like this’ and said that Stephen had no political or religious affiliation.
He said: ‘He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something’. Speaking from his home in Orlando, Florida, Eric said: ‘We know absolutely nothing, this is just, we are dumbfounded. We have absolutely no idea. Our condolences go to the victims and all their families’.
Eric said that he and Stephen, 64, lived on different coasts – Stephen’s last address was in Mesquite, Nevada – and that they did not speak that often. He said that his mother was ‘in shock’ and struggling to cope with the news.
He said: “Our family is OK, we’re sitting in here in our house hoping that everyone doesn’t attack us.”
‘He’s my brother, we don’t have a very close relationship but we talk occasionally. There’s no rhyme or reason here, it makes no sense’. He said: ‘She has nothing to do with this, at least from my perspective. ‘He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something, he was just a guy.
‘He has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know. This wasn’t a terror attack’.

In the latest police update, Las Vegas undersheriff Kevin McMahill confirmed that Stephen Paddock died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as police made entry to his Las Vegas hotel room. He also confirmed that Paddock, who is believed to have checked into the hotel on Thursday, had more than 10 guns.
McMahill added that Marilou Danley is overseas and that officers have made contact with her. She is believed to be Australian and of Indonesian origin.
Where was he from?
Paddock is reported to have lived in a retirement village in Mesquite, Nevada, since June 2016 and was born on April 9, 1953. It is claimed he previously lived in Reno, Nevada, from 2011 to 2016, and also had an address in Melbourne, Florida, from 2013 to 2015. He has also lived in Henderson, Nevada, and several locations in California since 1990, it is reported.
Mesquite is located about 80 miles, or an hour and 16 minutes, away from Las Vegas, along Nevada’s border with Arizona. Mesquite, a city in Clark County, is home to about 17,400 people, including several retirement communities, along with casinos and golf courses.
Did he act alone?
Despite initial reports of multiple gunmen, police do not believe at this time that there were any other attackers. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, described Paddock as a “lone wolf”. Officers were initially seeking his traveling companion – Marilou Danley – who has now been located. She is believed to have been his roommate, however the police have since announced they do not believe she was involved in the shooting.
At this stage, Paddock does not have any known ties to terrorist organization and no motive has been put forward. When asked by a reporter if it was an act of terrorism, Sheriff Lombardo said: “No, not at this point. We believe it was a local individual. He resides here locally.
“I’m not at liberty to give you his place of residence yet, because it’s an ongoing investigation, we don’t know what his belief system was at this time. … Right now we believe he is the sole aggressor at this point and the scene is static.”
Was Paddock known to authorities?
NBC reports that he was. But public records do not show any criminal convictions for Paddock in Nevada. Mesquite Police told CBS News that he was not known to them, and that he lived in a retirement community, is a white male and wasn’t a military veteran.
What was his motive?
He was not believed to be connected to any militant group, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.
“We have no idea what his belief system was,” Lombardo said. “We’ve located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied.”
How did he die?
According to Las Vegas undersheriff Kevin McMahill, Stephen Paddock died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as police made entry to his Las Vegas hotel room. He also confirmed that Paddock, who is believed to have checked into the hotel on Thursday, had more than 10 guns.
Intelligent people can tear this garbage apart, too many victims for one shooter. This story stinks.
agree Mark….another distraction…..’look over here’…..so let us look over there>>>> what is going on while everyone’s eyes are on the ‘massacre’
Benghazi trial starts today. Hillary is right in the middle of it. The Clinton crime family needed a deversion.

Turn the Goddamn MSM news off. It’s all bullshit! But on the other hand, another 2 million firearms will be sold this week!
Old man, 64, sets up a “machinegun nest” in a hotel to blow away random concert goers… Retired, living in a retirement village… Oh yeah, I am going to believe in one…
Remember folks we have THE PUB to use for chat too.
THE PUB never works for me. What are your secrete ways to make it work?
Adobe flash being up to date I think, then just wait till it loads and sign in.
You mean he was supposed to have done all this from a motel room?
You actually believe a retired 64 year old did this?
I was able to listen to 10 seconds of supposed footage sounded like more than one gun.
Seems like the supposed shooter was a patsy.
I listened on tv, remember this spring chicken was supposedly running between two shooting positions. Also consider the range involved here from the original TV footage, he was shooting from so far away people looked like small grains of rice or sand. Since then the media has no longer shown the VISUAL distance only a map, everything else is now up close shooting of the two windows, they no longer show the original distance so you can gauge things for yourself. He was going to suicide anyway so why two positions unless there were two shooters trading back and fort on firing into the crowd. It does not take long to dump one hell of a lot of ammo into a small area but when people are flat on the ground most of the time or running in all directions your targets get slim fast, especially in the DARK!
Video I was able to listen to they say is footage, sounds like two distinctly different calibers going off at the same time, sounds like a firefight.
Love to hear what people with combat experience have to say.
reposted from Jim Stones site:
Here’s what happened:
Multiple gunmen opened fire from upper floors of surrounding hotels at a crowd attending an outdoor concert at the Mandalay Bay casino in Vegas. My guess is this was staged by Israeli/American intelligence (because an Israeli paper totally screwed up) to cover for an attempted genocide underway in Puerto Rico, as communists in the government block supplies from reaching the people. If you don’t know about that, skip down the page a ways.
For me, this is obvious:
1. Communists get busted staging a genocide attempt on U.S. territory.
2. Communists then divert the news cycle to a horrendous mass shooting in a national playground. THIS IS OBVIOIUS FOLKS, and the shooting is definitely not a hoax.
THIS IS KEY INFO:
20 minutes before the shooting, a Latino man and woman went through the casino, shouting at everyone that a group of Latinos was going to show up and kill everyone. They made it into the concert area, all the way to the front of the stage and the woman shouted it in front of everyone. It was a ruckus that everyone noticed. Casino staff then detained the couple and it was “business as usual with two fruit cakes detained” and a short while later the shooting started.
Initially this story was one of a Latino/antifa grudge shooting at conservative Trump supporting Americans attending a conservative country music gathering. Then someone figured that was not politically expedient enough, and VOILA, single shooter and he’s Muslim. And dead. No mention anywhere about the Latino couple that made a promienent well noted “crazy” appearance is anywhere to be seen in the MSM news cycle. Absent this being told, the MSM is LYING. The final ‘Islamic terror’ story that suddenly popped up out of nowhere was too convenient I’d say.
Several eyewitnesses told Fox News that there were at least 3 shooters. Fox news then immediately started saying it was a lone gunman. THAT’S PROOF THIS IS A CIA OP, WITH THE BASE STORY LINE OF A LONE NUTCASE. Even in the video, it is obvious there are at least two guns because there is one with a sharp report, and one with a dull report, and at one point the one with the dull report starts shooting first, which proves the dull sound is not just an echo. The Latino couple who showed up to warn probably work for intelligence and wanted to stop it from happening.
We will have to see how this plays out, but for now:
1. The Democrats/communists needed a huge event to distract people from their dirty deeds in Puerto Rico
2. A Latino couple went through the casino and out to the concert crowd, yelling loudly telling everyone they could that everyone would soon be dead, and they had to leave or they would die. They made it to the stage area and gut busted as “fruitcakes” there. So someone knew, and they probably knew because they were intelligence that did not want to go along with it.
3. Shortly thereafter, gunfire from the surrounding hotels rained down on the crowd, and if you listen through all the video, you can clearly hear it is at least two guns because the low sounding gun starts first once, it is not just a dulled echo. UPDATE: There are plenty of times in the videos where only the gun with the dull report is firing. Clearly the guns are AK and an AR or M-16
4. Intelligence agency classic: Media suddenly controlled, not allowing random witnesses, Whitewash complete, lone gunman, patsy dead, no stories told. So classic, it happens that way EVERY TIME. Retard dead. Agents walk.
Once again, I have the critical videos that prove it all cached offline. If they were honest about this, they’d be saying multiple gunmen. The loner story alone proves it is once again Democrats staging this crap through a controlled media. And just like they’ll kill off people in Puerto Rico by starving them out on purpose, they’ll shoot up a casino in Vegas. From a Bolshevik perspective, everyone is disposable and nothing matters but them getting more control.

From the videos I have seen, I only hear firecrackers. Even the people say it was firecrackers in the video.
In addition to that, I have yet to see ONE person out of the 400 so called injured with blood on them. All I see are people confused. Nothing else. If someone can show me the blood, I’ll believe it. 400 people and not one of them has video of someone with blood on them? Tell me another one.
NC, pictures in this article.

They still don’t show much in the pics.

Interesting…. how come we don’t hear anything more on that? Because it would destroy the narrative? I think so!
Hey guys, don’t worry. All 58 people were Elvis impersonators.
Ha! And I thought it was all just a roll of the dice.

Better luck next time.
What are the odds?

Here’s a video that shows the front of the motel during the alleged shooting.
Trying to see muzzle flashes haven’t seen any. Starts at 00:34.
https://youtu.be/Y6CaqRIUUxk
Looks like the people started running BEFORE the shooting started as if they were getting ready for a scene, unless that was only part of the video.
One guy is even hunkered down a split second before it starts.
Yep.

What’s the probability of taking 3 in the chest from a distance with a fully automatic weapon?
This looks and sounds extremely fake, imo.
It wouldn’t be necessary to have live fire on the concert to have a 50+ body count. Put 50+ crisis actors in the crowd and let the sound go on the rock and roll. Not that opening up on a crowd is out of their range of possibilities, it just leaves things open to chance. Also the 32nd floor(+ lobby=…)
More speculation, and an utterance of the name “Cliven.” Oh brother:

Another Manchester England-type concert shooting scenario false flag?
NOT ANOTHER POLITICAL ATTACK ON THE SECOND ARTICLE!!!!!!!!!!!
“He was killed when officers blasted their way into his hotel room.”
But was somehow designated as a suicide later on.
No conflicting statements there, right? 🙄
Maybe some people can go over to the website TTAG, the Truth about Guns, and interject a little reality to the NRA, statist Rush babies there.
I posted there under Bob and had the usual gov-luv, you’re a conspiracy nut response. Here is link. Anybody got my back?

Done.

Thanks Galen! I watched Surviving Sandy Hook on YT last night, and read lots of comments. It is a 1 hour propaganda film with 1M views. Most comments were questioning the narrative. Even mainstream, people are questioning, that’s a good thing. I’m even getting through now with some people, as they can’t help see the lies by .gov and the tele.
These people at TTAG- they’re ready for a revolution with their myriad guns….but not this weekend (my daughter’s getting married)…and not the following weekend (ah, I’ve got a golf tournament)…
Thanks again Galen, I hate dueling with my index finger. But every enemy comment section is like a little war zone. When you can look and the reasonable comments outnumber the bots and morons, it’s like a little win and keeps me hoping!
Congratulations to you and your family on your daughter’s wedding. May love blossom and grow.

Ha! I messed up in Tech Hell and my message got posted three and a half times. Sorry, Bob, but even with the mess-up, I did what I could. But I’m never going back there, not only because I am not a gun expert, in fact, I’m a beginner, but I also don’t want to see any annihilation that may be coming my way in the comments.
Who said being a commentator is not hard work?! Jeez.
🙂

Haha! That’s why I asked you! I get all worked up and gets me irate.
“Who said being a commentator is not hard work?! Jeez.”
So true!
We can just stick with the “drive by” method and don’t look back in enemy territory!

well hells bells..here is my 2 bullets worth of thoughts..64 year old rich? retired accountant from the 32nd floor kills 58 people..all by himself??? then he kills bimself..brings 10 weapons into the hotel…it stinks..reminds me of the first mass shooting in texas in the 60s..and they had to kill the that animal,otherwise he would still be there popping off more people…and he used a hunting bolt action rifle..and I believe he was a trained marksman too…so here we go again..I believe this false flag will force trump to sign a real gun control act….or perhaps the loony tune did not like country music…if indeed 58 were killed…my condolences too one and all…
