Masskjutning i Las Vegas - minst 50 döda (2017-10-01)

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified the lone suspect involved in the latenight mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip as 64-year-old, Stephen Craig Paddock, a white
male from Mesquite, Nevada.

Paddock opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 concert-goers from his hotel room on the
32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel on Sunday evening at approximately 10:08 p.m. The
victims were across the street attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert when bullets
rang out. LVMPD SWAT responded to the call, breached the hotel room and found the suspect
dead.

The Clark County Fire Department estimated that approximately 406 people were transported to
area hospitals and 50 are dead following Sunday evening’s shooting. Among the dead is an
LVMPD officer who was off-duty at the time. His name is being withheld pending notification of
next of kin. There were also two on-duty officers injured, one of whom was upgraded recently
from critical to stable condition. The other sustained non-life threatening wounds.

Paddock may have shot himself, according to Undersheriff McMahill.

Speaking to CNN he added: “He was shot. I cannot tell you that it was the police that shot him. He may have self-inflicted that gun shot wound. Those details are still emerging.”

He added: “A number of long rifles were in that room. I would say there were at least eight guns up there.”

McMahill reported that the number of wounded people in the attack is likely to rise above the more than 200 figure given by Sheriff Lombardo earlier.

He said: “We continue to receive reports from all of our area hospitals where individuals self-transported themselves. So that number of injured individuals I anticipate to continue to climb over the next couple of hours.”
