A Las Vegas police sergeant has confirmed that Oct. 1 gunman Stephen Paddock was dead before any officers breached his Mandalay Bay suite. A document unsealed Tuesday seemed to contradict that, stating that “as SWAT officers breached room 135, they observed Stephen Paddock place a gun to his head and fire one round.” The sergeant who helped author the preliminary report said it became clear as the investigation unfolded that none of the officers saw the gunman shoot himself. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo reaffirmed those details in a news conference the day the police report was released.
