Who was Stephen Paddock?
Stephen Paddock, 64, was from Mesquite, Nevada and was identified by police as the shooter at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas.
Police confirmed the gunman was a “lone wolf” who had an unknown motive and was not believed to be connected to any extremist or militant groups.
Paddock was found dead by armed police as they stormed the hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort Casino.
Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said that police located a number of firearms in the hotel room used for the shooting.
Paddock's brother expressed his astonishment at the attack while police said they were searching for a motive.
Latest on the Las Vegas shooting
But while the shooter himself had no criminal background, the same reportedly cannot be said for all his family.
Paddock’s father was Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, a serial bank robber.
The bandit is understood to have wound up on the FBI’s Most Wanted list in 1969 when he escaped from prison in Texas while serving a 20-year sentence.
