A New Report on the Las Vegas Gunman Was Released. Here Are Some Takeaways.

By JENNIFER MEDINAJAN. 19, 2018

The Las Vegas police took the unusual step on Friday of releasing key details about the continuing investigation into the Oct. 1 shooting that killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others.

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a news conference that while he was confident that Stephen Paddock was the only gunman, there was another person under investigation who is likely to be charged in the next two months. No charges will be filed against Mr. Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, Sheriff Lombardo said. He also said there was still no motive known for the attack.

Investigators have uncovered extensive details about the internet search history on Mr. Paddock’s computer, including child pornography, guidance on ballistics and information about SWAT team practices. Law enforcement officials believe Mr. Paddock had recently lost a “significant amount of wealth,” and that may have led him to open fire from his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I've read it and the only thing I learned was the Paddock was financially solid and had paid off his gambling debts before the attack.
His doctor thought he was odd but he had no known health issues.

There remains vague reference to "computer related items" found at both homes-no details whatsoever. Four laptops, one dismantled, and three cell phones in the killing suite. That is a heck of a lot of communication devices for a rambling gambling man. There are new pictures in the 81 page report. His body was located near the windows, not the door to the hallway, which wasn't clear from the earlier, leaked photos.
