The Man Behind the Las Vegas Shooting: Stephen Paddock

The shooter was found dead at the scene. His name was Stephen Paddock, and he was a 64-year-old, from Mesquite, Nevada. Detectives are still trying to detect Paddock’s reason.

Paddock was found dead by a SWAT team with at least 10 rifles in his hotel room. ATF (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) says it is organizing an “urgent trace” on the weapons to decide their origins.  Paddock brought the weapons into the hotel himself and used “a device similar to a hammer” to break the window at a press conference Monday morning said, Lombardo.

The U.S. Homeland Security Department says there is no “specific credible threat” involving other public places in the U.S. after the gunfire.
