Las Vegas Shooting: Pictures Appear To Show Firearms Used By Gunman

New pictures have surfaced of the apparent weapons and hotel room of Stephen Paddock, the alleged gunman in Sunday’s Las Vegas shooting that left at least 59 people dead and hundreds of others injured.

The photos were obtained by reporter Jacqui Heinrich and published Wednesday by Fox-affiliate WFXT. Heinrich wrote on Facebook that she acquired the photos by way of her “sources in Las Vegas” and that they include the several weapons used to rain down bullets from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, which was situated near the Route 91 Harvest festival at the Las Vegas Village.

“[T]hese are the first photos from inside gunman’s Mandalay Bay hotel room, showing 2 of the 23 weapons used to murder of 59 people and injure more than 500,” she wrote. “Ammo, optics, bipod, and hammer used to smash out windows also pictured.”

Police say Paddock, 64, is thought to have stockpiled the luxury hotel room overlooking the open air country music festival before opening fire on the crowd. The Guardian reported Monday that officials found 23 guns in Paddock’s hotel and another 19 firearms in his home. Explosives and rounds of ammunition numbering in the thousands were also discovered at the residence in Mesquite, Nevada.

The Clark County sheriff's office said Tuesday that Sunday’s attack was planned in detail, with the gunman setting up cameras in his hotel room and the hallway outside, NBC News reported Wednesday.

“The fact that he had the type of weaponry and the amount of weaponry in that [hotel] room — it was pre-planned extensively,” said Sheriff Joe Lombardo. “I’m pretty sure he evaluated everything that he did in his actions.”

More than 500 people were injured in the deadly massacre. No motive for the attack was clear Wednesday, though FBI officials were meeting with Paddock apparent girlfriend Marilou Danley, who they say is a “person of interest.”
