Local authorities gave a briefing last night to update the public on the state of the Las Vegas concert shooting investigation.
• The shooting timeline was clarified. Earlier reports seemed to conflict with each other, with one stating that the shooting stopped after 10 minutes, and another that it took 72 minutes to stop the shooter. The sheriff explained the discrepancy:
The first report of shooting came in at 10:08pm, Sunday evening (local time). At some point a security guard attempted to make entry to Paddock’s room and was shot and wounded. This may have been the time that the gunman killed himself, because at 10:19pm, just about 10 minutes after it began, the firing ceased. With no more shooting coming from the room, authorities treated it as a barricade situation, and proceeded more cautiously. After an hour they breached the room with explosives.
• Also reports that the gunman had filmed himself during the assault were seemingly debunked. There were 2 cameras in the hallway and 1 at the room’s door peephole, all aimed toward the hallway, apparently so the gunman could see when police were approaching.
• The number of firearms found in the room and at Paddock’s two houses in Verde and Mesquite is up to 47. That includes rifles, shotguns, and pistols, purchased in Nevada, Utah, California, and Texas.
• Twelve legal bump stocks were found in the hotel room. A bump stock, when installed onto the stock of a semi-automatic weapon, uses the recoil of each shot to essentially bump the weapon back and forward in a manner that allows the trigger to be rapidly and repeatedly pressed. Because it technically still only fires one bullet per trigger pull, it does not violate laws against automatic weapons.
• At a separate news conference yesterday, Sheriff Lombardo made one of the first comments about motive, though the tone may have been speculative rather than implying he knew something. “I want to understand the motivation... to prevent any future incidents, and, you know, did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to us? And we want to identify that source.”
It’s also not clear what type of radicalization the sheriff may have been referring to, as the term has been used in the past to describe both religious and political extremists.
• The shooter’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, has now returned from the Philippines. She was met at LAX airport by federal authorities, who want to question her as a "person of interest." Video acquired by NBC shows Danley being wheeled through the airport in a wheelchair.
• In interviews with various media, Danley’s sisters say she was sent to visit family several weeks ago by Paddock, who told her he had found a cheap ticket to the Philippines. They claim she had nothing to do with the attack and is unaware of his motivation for it.
• AP says Paddock wired Danley about $100,000 several days ago. The money was for her to live on in the Philippines, and the move out of the U.S. was possibly intended to be permanent.
• Baristas at a Mesquite, NV, Starbucks claim they had often seen Paddock and Danley together buying coffee. They say Paddock was known for publicly berating his girlfriend and the abuse 'happened a lot'.
• According to Newsweek, Danley may have been living a double life. Public documents showed she was married to two men at once, used two Social Security numbers, lived in multiple addresses in several different states and had two dates of birth listed. Danley came to the U.S. in 1990 as Marilou Natividad, married to a Geary Danley. But in 1996 she wed Jose Bustos and changed her surname, though she did not dissolve the marriage to Danley until 2015. Both marriages were registered in Las Vegas, the scene of the killings, despite the fact that neither of her husbands lived there. The Danleys lived in Arkansas and Tennessee while the Bustoses lived in California. In California, her name is registered as Marilou Natividad-Bustos and her age is listed as 55 - but in Nevada, her name is down as Marilou Lou Danley and her age listed as 62.
• According to the Las Vegas Review, the shooter Paddock was prescribed fifty 10mg Valium tablets four months ago. The anti-anxiety drug can reportedly trigger aggressive behavior in people with underlying behavioral problems.
