Another interesting point.

The new name of the shooter, Samir Al-Hajeed, was a name that came up in Las Vegas as a possible second shooter.

Check this out from CBS on October 3, 2017

“Several Twitter users falsely identified a man named Samir Al-Hajeed as the gunman wanted in connection with the mass shooting. “

CBS called it a hoax.

from the link:

Here are some of the hoaxes circulating on social media:

Several Twitter users falsely identified a man named Samir Al-Hajeed as the gunman wanted in connection with the mass shooting. However, it appears that the man holding the gun in the photo is actually comedian Sam Hyde, who has been falsely accused in the aftermath of other attacks, including the UCLA and San Bernardino shootings. It remains unclear why social media users repeatedly circulate Hyde’s photo after mass shootings.
