The man who opened fire on an outdoor concert on the Las Vegas Strip late Sunday, killing at least 58 people and wounding 515 more before he was found dead in a 32nd floor hotel room, has been identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, the Clark County sheriff said at a news conference Monday.

♦64-Year-old “Ordinary Guy”

♦No violent criminal background.

♦Paddock was a licensed pilot, owned two airplanes and had no criminal history beyond a citation that was handled normally.

♦Lockheed Martin said in a statement that Paddock worked for a predecessor company of theirs for three years starting in 1985.

♦Prior Residences: California, Florida, Texas, Nevada (reported 27 residences).

♦Paddock lived in Mesquite, Texas, before moving to Mesquite, Nevada, about 82 miles northeast of Las Vegas

♦More than 10 rifles were found in the Mandalay Bay hotel room with Paddock.

♦During the time he owned a home in Melbourne Florida (2013-2015), just west of I-95 in Brevard County, Stephen Paddock bragged about going to The Philippines and Europe. (link)

Watch interview with one of Stephen Paddock’s brothers Eric Paddock of Orlando Florida:

Bruce Paddock (brother) told NBC News the family grew up in Sun Valley, California, and Stephen Paddock (shooter) earned money from managing apartment buildings with his Florida-based mother.

There’s a Route 95 in Nevada that takes you between Las Vegas and Reno—a distance of 400+ miles, mostly over two lanes. I’ve taken the route several times. It’s not a drive that I look forward to.

[Unconfirmed report from Israel] Report: ‘Samir al-Hajib,’ shooter from Las Vegas: According to an unofficial report from Reshet Bet, the Las Vegas shooter’s name is Samir al-Hajib. He is an American who converted to Islam at the age of 30 and lives in [near] Las Vegas.

..........
So was that this guy’s changed name? Since age 30?

[rodguy911]

I95 goes from Miami where it starts to the Ga. line at MM 383 or so,yeah its there.

I spent 6 weeks in Australia and recall there being shootings & gang related crimes in the local news. We should ping naturalman to answer this

[surroundedbyblue]

Crap. Forgot the ping. See post #144

Why was the CBS executive fired? (Same reason.)

[ncalburt]

He lived in a new community named Viera FL for two years .
Big new retirement place literally right off I 95 .
Neighbors knew extremely little about them .

"Stephen Paddock (shooter) earned money from managing apartment buildings with his Florida-based mother."

You don't become a multi-millionaire managing apartments. You become a multi-millionaire by owning them, which Paddock reportedly did.

I tried to find naturalman but couldn’t. Is he still a freeper?

[rxsid]

"Why would someone drive all the way from Mesquite NV to Reno so that he could walk around a street corner carrying a sign? That's a long way to drive. "

Maybe he was already there for another reason(s)?...assuming that's even him.

[wgmalabama]

This is all very odd. Odd timing with the push to legalize suppressors.

[ncalburt]

I read she was in Tokyo supposedly but he sent money to the Philippines days before the shooting .

By the that is very common for Filipino woman to work the lonely older man circuit in the USA .

Did she work at Mandalay bay casino ?

He used her card to rent the room .

[rxsid]

"Could it be this guys is the proverbial “patsy?”"

Perhaps?

Was he seen shooting the gun(s)? Or, was he found dead in the room when LEO's entered 72 minutes after it started?

Has fingerprint analysis on the guns & other items in the room been done and known?

Admittedly, I've not read or heard everything said or known on this.

[fatima]

Bump.

[Windflier]

I can understand his brother’s shock but he might not be aware of any affiliations the shooter had because they lived across the country from one another.

Siblings don't always stay close, even if they live relatively nearby each other. Especially when they're past the half century mark.

I've got six siblings, and don't have the foggiest clue about their close connections outside the family.

[csvset]

Sam Hyde aka Samir Al-Hajib or Samir Al- Hajeed. It’s an internet hoax. RT ran the same story identifying Sam Hyde as the shooter.

[Jane Long]

So, there’s that.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The person in the video MAY be him. It looks like him, but it is inconclusive.

[PA Engineer]

Anything from the conservative tree house should be not be taken seriously.

Why?

[Enchante]

He does not seem to have established any stable long-term base of operations -- This seems remarkable to me for someone supposedly highly successful in real estate investing:

"In total, Paddock had lived in an astonishing 27 residences in Nevada, Florida and Texas over the course of his adult life."
