Las Vegas shooting gunman was dead before officers entered
 
Las Vegas shooting gunman was dead before officers entered

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.

Search warrant document shows 2nd ‘person of interest’ after Las Vegas shooting

A judge unsealed nearly 300 pages of search warrant records, including one document that publicly identified an additional “person of interest” in the Oct. 1 massacre on the Las Vegas Strip. “Until the investigation can rule otherwise, Marilou Danley and Douglas Haig have become persons of interest who may have conspired with Stephen Paddock to commit Murder with a Deadly Weapon,” according to the Metropolitan Police Department document Danley was Paddock’s girlfriend and initially was named as a person of interest in the investigation. Authorities later said they do not expect her to face charges. Haig, whose name had not been previously released, spoke to reporters Tuesday evening outside his home in Mesa, Arizona, and confirmed that he has been contacted by investigators. “I’m the guy that sold ammunition to Stephen Paddock,” Haig said. He said he met with Paddock, the gunman behind the mass shooting, once but did not know him. He declined to answer additional questions.
