| Stephen Paddock: Las Vegas gunman identified by police as 64-year-old white male | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| The suspected gunman in the mass shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas has been named as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock. | |
| At least 50 were killed and more than 200 injured at the Route 91 country music event near the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. | |
| It is the deadliest mass shooting in US history, with the death toll surpassing the 49 killed at a nightclub in Orlando in June 2016. | |
| Witnesses described seeing flashes of light high up in the tower. The shooter was believed to have been firing down at a crowd of concert-goers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. | |
| A Swot team used a controlled explosion to enter the hotel room, where they shot Paddock dead. | |
| Announcing the suspect's name, Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said police had "located numerous firearms" in the hotel room and a search was due to take place shortly at Paddock's house. | |
| Authorities said they had found a person of interest in their investigation, a 62-year-old female companion of the shooter called Marilou Danley. | |
