Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas Shooter
LATEST: The shooter’s brother Bruce Paddock was arrested on October 25 for possession of child porn. This brother is different from Eric Paddock, who was interviewed on television in the days immediately following the shooting.
Stephen “Craig” Paddock is the shooter responsible for the Las Vegas massacre Sunday night.
His identity was guessed by reporters when listeners of police scanners heard the name of his friend Marilou Danley mentioned by authorities as a person of interest.
Internet sleuths were referring to them as “roommates” because according to publicly available records, Stephen Paddock (64 years old) and Marilou Danley (aged 62) live at the same address.
1372 Babbling Brook Ct, Mesquite, Nevada
A total of 59 people were killed by Paddock, and hundreds more are critically injured.

The shooter opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay toward a concert happening across the street. He continued shooting for between nine and 11 minutes. Police stormed his room at around 10:17 pm. By then, Paddock had killed himself.

And then there are people sincerely asking why he had the number 13 tattooed on his neck. Do you see it?
The woman, by the way, is definitely NOT Marilou Danley.
* It was later revealed that he was using a “bump stock” to mimic automatic fire from semi-automatic weapons.
Below (Trigger Warning): Graphic Photo of Stephen Paddock Dead After Shooting Himself
/// We’ve removed this photo, due to complaints about its gruesomeness.
The photo in question, however, is still widely available on the Internet — on other websites. ///
Steve Paddock’s DMV photo was finally released by authorities on October 4th.
False, local police confirmed him as the shooter. It was not merely a “guess” by the media.
Prayers going up for all affected by this horrible tragedy…
And what difference will that do?
Did anyone else notice that this shooting took place just 6 and a half hours ago.. and this story was posted 9 hours ago according to Google? Anyone else find that suspicious?
Hi Jeff,
It’s just a glitch in the way Google indexes sites that are hosted in different time zones.
Oh Christ, here come the conspiracy theories…..
CNN used the words “Professional Operation”. You can bet your ass, this was indeed a “Professional” military type operation. Just like Sandy Hook and Boston Marathon! (Noted: massive gun assortment was “found” in the hotel room, a belt-fed class 3 automatic weapon can be heard firing on the crowd.) — There will be an agenda just as before, PEOPLE control and GUN control.
And no one in the media even mentions the helicopters I saw in numerous videos that night. lol
Will this finally get some sanity into the WORLD’s GREATEST NATION, alias TRUMPANIA? Tthat you cannot guarantee the safety of any of your citizens any safety anywhere as long as your citizens have a constitutional right to own veritable military arsenals ?
What is it with you guys??
lol Military operation…douche…you can buy weapons anywhere and belt fed ammo. So easy..a liberal can do it.
The stupid is strong with this one…Guess what…It was posted where I am 12 hours ahead of the local time it happened there..do you know why…no..not because the Philippines predicted it…but because TIME ZONES.
Please do not breed.
They use the term “Professional Operation” to describe the police entering the suspects room. Do try to keep up, little one.
10:30 last night, 12 hours ago!
he was just very tired and very drunk… lost lots of cash in black jack…his wife pissed him off, he get drunk – all alcohol its free over there… went to room for some sleep… couldnt because of the concert, so he tried to sort out that noise coming from outside into his hotel room… than somehow realized what he did – so he killed himself… btw recently bought nice new house… there was no reason for him to do such a horrible thing
very very sad story…
and he hated country music. Who can blame him?
But… he setup cameras on room service carts at the end of the hallways so he could monitor the police responding to breach his hotel door. That’s very meticulous for a drunk and impulsive person.
How did you know his name so fast?
Hi Melissa,
Law enforcement put out an official statement regarding the shooter’s identity.
The timestamp shown on Google is a little bit misleading. It’s showing our posts as much earlier because Google’s indexer is in another timezone. We’re now trying to see what we can do to have it fixed so that people don’t assume we knew beforehand what happened.
Sandy Hook was a hoax.
I’m so sick of it ALREADY!! I have already unfriended some people cuz they will not stop.
Just one question…. If he was the lone shooter and he shot himself, why are there bullets on top of the blood? Someone was shooting after he shot himself….
FFS! Because after he shot himself the blood continued to ooze out of his head around the bullets on the floor!!! Geez!!!!
Maybe the blood dropped off of the bullet casings or maybe the swat team used his body for target practice. Discuss
Those are shells of previously fired rounds.
I killed as many of those people as I could and I enjoyed doing it. The World Will Remember My Name STEPHEN PADDOCK For All of Eternity.
Stephen Paddock son of Psycho
A girl I went to high school with lost her daughter in that incident. Her daughter really did die there. Her daughter really is still dead.
perhaps she might be re-animated some day in some kind of zombie apocalypse
Some kind of sicko /\
Any serious CSI detective can tell the picture is either fake or was staged. There should be blood spatter on the shell cases on bullets and everything around him it just doesn’t add up. And I do believe the shooting was real just that picure doesn’t add up
It don’t add up to me neither man if I didn’t know better I’d say it was one of them alien set-up false flags from the planet Mucus
No 13 tat on the dead guy huh…blood can be under billet since it soaked inti carpet but tje missing tat us odd to me
His eyes look brown in the picture of him dead and then look bluish in his license picture…
Hmmm… Here is a part of a photo that Steve Paddock’s brother Eric provided to the media.
Your a moron. Class 3 belt fed. If you knew. Real responsible gun owners know there are devices legal, under Obama’s approval, that allow this rate of gun fire. Look at slidefire just as an example. Get educated before you post dumb shit.
This tragedy was caused again…. I say again… By a mentally deranged man. Any way you slice it he would have killed this many people. I agree with banning slidefires. They serve no purpose to the average american shooter. I own one. They were pointless until this.
They are inaccurate, expensive pieces of shit. That nobody needs one, including me. I have always been against gun control but what’s the point of these bump stocks now.
The part I noticed is he has attached earlobes, but the dead mans is detached and curled.
You’d be detached if you were dead too I mean come on you pointy eared green hobgoblin
That is what I’m saying! Why are those bullets so clean? The two to the right on top of the puddle that seeped in the carpet, have no blood on them. Why?
That’s the same thing i said there is no way.
Because this is photo shop. Not real.
Photo shop. Not a real photo.
Tat isn’t real.
I agree, it looks like some blood is dried and some is fresh, it’s also a little to tidy!
Disarm citizens militarize police…it’s coming
Even if we took away the rights of good honest citizens to have guns to protect themselves it will not WILL NOT keep people like this and terrorist from obtaining them illegally to perform the same agenda they have set. It WILL cause more innocent to die because they will be set up unarmed and unable to defend themselves- you cant bring a knife to a gun fight. However I do believe stricter laws should be passed ex: tracking of firearms, remove the gun show loop hole making it mandatory that background and mental health checks are required for each… Read more »
people hunt with them daily.
THE DEAD BODY IS MISSING THE NUMBER 13 on it ! So this cannot be STEPHEN .
You know, we have a problem with people trying to come here…not with people trying to leave here. You want to give up your freedom for security? You don’t deserve either.
ABC News obtained a photo of Steve Paddock from one of his friends.
He looks very normal in the photo — this is the most normal of all the photos that have been made available to the public.
Great observation!
you suck dude
He did NOT choke for minutes. Whoever wrote this article doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
