At least 59 people were killed and more than 500 injured when a shooter fired round after round from a high-rise room at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino down onto a crowded country music concert.
The suspect, identified as a 64-year-old white man named Stephen Craig Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, was found dead on the 32nd floor of the hotel with a cache of “in excess of 10 rifles,” Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
“We believe the individual killed himself” just before authorities entered his room, Lombardo said.
At an earlier press conference, Lombardo said, “We believe it’s a sole actor, a lone-wolf-type actor.”
