Prompted by a thread here, I looked up the Las Vegas shooter but mis-spelled his first name. Have a look at the first line of black text in the screenshot below.
I couldn't believe it. The word hero doesn't appear on the Wiki page, nor on a search of Paddock's name correctly spelled 'Stephen'. It doesn't appear in Googles cached copy either. Any thoughts?
