My heart breaks for the victims.

I am praying hard for the wounded.

My thoughts and prayers, along with all of you, are with everyone affected by this evil.

Back to girlfriend status in this article


The brother said he had a girlfriend and was semi-retired after having a series of jobs he would not get into.

the guy is old enough to have been in Viet Nam, my brother brought back all kinds of guns, knives, diamonds etc from his service, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was his from the war

I had this same thought this morning.

As far as I can tell from early reports, this guy wasn't ever in a military.

Those of you who pray or send positive vibes etc. we have just gotten word that my friend who was at the concert has been located at the hospital, however her current status is unknown until someone can get there in person. The people she was with are on lockdown in their hotels.

Early on there was a report with photo showing the alleged suspect was a convicted sex offender. Photo looked to be
authentic but Paddock was much younger.
anyone else see this?

Paddock owned two aircraft, according to NBC News. Paddock appears to have worked as an accountant or auditor, ABC News reports. He also had a hunting license in Alaska, according to ABC.

He last had a medical examination in February 2008. “MUST HAVE AVAILABLE GLASSES FOR NEAR VISION,” the records state. He was living in Mesquite, Texas, in Dallas County, at the time.

there is a mug shot of the shooter from 2014 for felony battery. doesn't sound like "just a guy" to me.

President Trump to speak re: Las Vegas mass shooting at 10:30AM (Eastern).

The Mesquite Police Department had no prior contact with him, according to spokesman Quinn Averett, nor had there been any calls to Paddock's home in Mesquite, which is about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Paddock's home is being searched. Officials did not know how long he had been living in the area.

“Mars just fell into the earth,” he told NBC News. “We’re completely dumbfounded.”


Paddock said his brother was retired and was "just a guy" who went to the hotels, gambled, and went to shows.


“We are completely at a loss,” . . .

Sad tagline on the end of a SKY news package about this:

The carnage in Los Vegas , is of the magnitude even America has never seen before.

Nah , we don't have an issue with mental illness, and violence here in the states......................

 

[bestill]

Just saw the clip of his brother being interviewed, you can tell he's blown away by this. Makes me wonder if he was on some type of med if he was going through a divorce (as I've read) and it just blew his mind.

 

[CARIIS]

I know nothing about guns but gosh the hotel window was really far from the concert

There might have been some thinking in this -- apparently this was a big act and the third day - so the crowd would have been biggest in the event

 

[samsmom]

Stunned and crying over this - positive thoughts for the hundreds of people affected
