The Vegas mass shooting doesn't strike me as ISIS-related. I think the terrorist group is just looking for attention and credit. But, we'll see where the investigation leads.
The killer, ^ 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, was reportedly a multi-millionaire real estate investor who owned/managed several properties, was a high stakes gambler, used to work for Lockheed Martin's predecessor company, and lived with his girlfriend (who's out of country) in Mesquite, Nevada. He was also a licensed hunter and pilot who owned two planes.
Sheriff Lombardo just gave an update; 18 more firearms were found at the home Paddock shared with his girlfriend. The latest fatality count is 59 and the number injured is 527.
Paddock's dad was a criminal and armed bank robber. Benjamin Paddock escaped from prison for 10 years (on the lam from 1968 to 1978). He was a huge man and was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list; the senior Paddock was said to be diagnosed as a psychopath who was suicidal and very dangerous.
