Firearm stockpile found at Las Vegas shooting suspect's home
At least 59 people have been killed and 527 injured in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, the Guardian reports.
Police have named Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old from Mesquite, Nevada as the gunman. Police found a huge arsenal of 42 firearms, explosives and ammunition across his Las Vegas hotel room and Mesquite home.
Experts believe an accessory known as a bump-stock was likely used in the attack, which modifies a semi-automatic weapon to fire at an automatic rate.
There is still no known motive behind the attack, or any known links between Paddock and other organisations. The suspect’s girlfriend was named as a person of interest, but police said Paddock acted alone and that authorities would interview the woman after she returned from a trip in Tokyo.
President Donald Trump said he would visit Las Vegas on Wednesday and called the shooting “an act of pure evil”. Hoaxes and fake news spread rapidly online, in some cases with boosts from Facebook and Google algorithms.
