This shooting was “pre-planned extensively,” sheriff says
The type and amount of weaponry found in Stephen Paddock’s hotel room suggests Sunday night’s shooting was premeditated and “pre-planned extensively,” County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.
Paddock began to open fire at 10:08 p.m. and fired at a “progressive, successive rate” for nine minutes, Lombardo said.
When asked if investigators will eventually determine a motive, Lombardo said “I absolutely believe that.”
Sheriff: “We can’t manage donations”
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said police and the Red Cross are grateful yet “overwhelmed” with donations of supplies. He requests that people in the Las Vegas area bring relief supplies to Catholic Charities and Las Vegas food bank Three Square.
Sheriff: Some victims were trampled
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo say the victims injuries were “across the board.”
“We have trampled injuries. We have people trying to escape. Injuries of their own device. We have gunshot wounds,” he said.
Some victims died at the concert venue. Others had been shot and died several blocks away as they ran from the scene.
Lombardo says he believes the number of people injured has decreased by 20. The error, he said, was the result of a double count at one of the hospitals.
Five handguns, two shotguns and “a plethora of ammunition” found at Reno home

First look at the guns the shooter used

Paddock shot into crowd for 10 to 15 minutes, killing at least 59.
Another 19 guns were recovered from Paddock’s home in Mesquite, Nevada, Clark County Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said. He also had thousands of rounds of ammo and explosives.
Vegas survivor: “How could someone be so evil?”
Daniel McDonald escaped Sunday night’s shooting, and it wasn’t until he got away from the scene that it all really sunk in.
“It was like a war zone,” he told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin. “I don’t get how someone could do that.”
“How could someone be so evil?”
McDonald may have seen the worst on Sunday, but he also said he saw “a lot of good Americans helping out.”
