Vegas Shooter, Stephen Paddock: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know [View all]

Stephen Paddock has been identified as the gunman in the shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas that left more than 20 dead and at least 100 wounded, NBC News reports.

The shooter, a 64-year-old from Mesquite, Nevada, was firing from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel at the festival. Officers responded to that hotel room and engaged the suspect, killing him. They do not believe at this time that there were any other shooters, despite reports of multiple gunmen. Police said they do not have an accurate number of victims yet. Police have not yet released a motive. Paddock does not have any known ties to terrorist organization, NBC’s Pete Williams reports.
