Police say Las Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock, had 10 guns in his hotel room

October 3, 2017

Las Vegas police say more than 400 people were hospitalised in a mass shooting at a country music concert.

Police said Monday morning (early Tuesday morning NZT) that the shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock was found dead in a hotel room with as many as 10 firearms.

Authorities say that 406 people were taken to hospitals and 50 of those are dead, including an off-duty Las Vegas police officer. His name was not immediately released.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo says Paddock first checked into the Mandalay Bay casino-hotel on September 28 and was found dead inside a hotel room.

Two on-duty officers were also hurt. One of those has been upgraded from critical to stable condition.
