AP — The suspect in the Las Vegas shooting has been identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock from Mesquite, NV.
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo says officers confronted Paddock on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across the street from the concert. Paddock is dead.
Authorities say they have located 62-year-old Marilou Danley, who was wanted as a person of interest in this incident.
The dead gunman is also believed to have checked in as a hotel guest.
Investigators found a number of rifles in his hotel room. They are also getting ready to search the 64-year-old’s home.
Las Vegas police also say they’ve determined that a woman they were seeking is no longer considered a “person of interest” in the deadly mass shooting at a country music festival.
Police say they don’t believe 62-year-old Marilou Danley was involved in the Sunday night shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 200.
