Full title.....................Who is Stephen Paddock? Multimillionaire Las Vegas shooter, 64, was a hunting enthusiast, licensed pilot and gambler with no criminal record who owned a $400,000 home in Nevada retirement community........................The man suspected of opening fire at concertgoers attending a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night was a local resident with no prior criminal convictions in the state of Nevada.

Stephen Paddock, 64, lived just 90 minutes outside Las Vegas in the city of Mesquite, where he purchased a home in a retirement community for just over $369,000 in 2015 according to public records.

He lived there with his 62-year-old girlfriend Marilou Danley, the same woman police announced they were seeking to question on Sunday night as they began their investigation into the horrific terror attack.

Paddock had both hunting and fishing licenses according to public records, as well as his pilot's license, but no criminal record in the state of Nevada.

The retired accountant had worked as an internal auditor at Lockheed Martin for three years in the late 1980s, and was a manager and investor in apartment complexes located in Mesquite, Texas and California which made him millions according to his brother.

The anti-Trump poster was a different person, the first and about to be ex- husband of the shooter’s current girlfriend.

Charles Whitman left a suicide note of sorts. Did this man leave any note or manifesto?

Couple of combat vets called Savage and both say AK47. One says belt fed. Another says two guns firing at same time. I thought the same thing.

She had left her first husband and was in the process of getting a divorce from him. She hadn’t left Paddock.

Wonder what the date on his Alaska hunting license is. Would be good cover for flying drugs to Anchorage, claiming you are coming up to hunt.

I hope the cops do a gunpowder residue test on him.

And report it correctly.

The shooter had a “corner” room where the exterior walls (and their windows) facied in different directions. It afforded him greater fields of fire to engage a larger number of targets.

Good observation. With the agenda driven media we have to draw inferences often based on what’s not reported. When names and ethnicity isn’t mentioned we can connect the dots..

Who is Stephen Paddock?

If I was to make a guess, I’d bet he is an avid video game player. There are video games out there where a person can vicariously participate in mass shootings just this man did for real, and your children are probably playing them right now. Playing these video games must desensitize people to the point shootings like this seem normal.

Psychosis runs in his family based on his father’s history as a serial bank robber.

What is that? Some kind of leftist gun-control cartoon?

Maybe he just snapped! Happens sometimes.

Not here. This guy amassed an expensive arsenal. Most people with weapons like he used are well know by other gun enthusiasts. I haven't heard from one yet.

I suppose he might have been comped at Mandalay Bay if he really was a high roller. They'll have to tell us. But considering his proximity to Vegas, my guess is that this is the first time he stayed with them. And he stayed in an expensive suite for several days. This isn't something that happened at the spur of the moment.

Suppose the guy is a Patsy. Suppose several terrorists took him hostage then killed him, fired over 500 rounds then left before the cops got there.

To me it sounds like at least two weapons firing with two different sounds. Thankfully there are two many audio/video recordings for the authorities to hide it.

Motive is NOT apparent here, except for evil

Or psych drugs.

Think you were trying to say the father was a psychopath, not psychotic.
