His motive is not yet clear, but police have said they don’t think the shooting was an act of terrorism, at least not at this point. The shooter unleashed a spray of bullets at the Route 91 concert crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel at the festival. Officers responded to that hotel room and engaged the suspect, killing him. They know who he is but haven’t publicly released his name.
There were reports that a woman had come out and told concertgoers that everyone was going to die right before the shooting, but it was unconfirmed and unclear who the woman was; you can listen to that eyewitness account here:
Police said in the press conference in which they released Danley’s name that the shooter was “local.” They said that the shooter was down on an upper floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, and they also revealed that they do not believe there is more than one shooter.
Police said they don't believe Ms Danley, who was located outside the US, was involved in the shooting.
Police said Paddock had used Ms Danley's ID documents to check into the hotel, which initially led to speculation that she was in the hotel at the time of the attack.
A Hyundai Tucson vehicle understood to be owned by Ms Danley was also found by police.
Later on, according to Las Vegas sheriff Joe Lombardo have said Marilou Danley is "no longer a person of interest" after trying to locate her in connection with the Las Vegas shooting, “We are pretty confident that there is no longer a threat other than we are attempting to locate the person of interest.
After locating Danley, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said she "is no longer being sought out as a person of interest."
Ms Danley was out of the country when the incident took place, according Las Vegas sheriff Joseph Lombardo.
Country singer Jason Aldean was performing on stage at the 30,000-strong concert when gunfire rang out. Gun maniac Stephen Paddock sprayed thousands of bullets into the festival crowds from a hotel balcony which was said the deadliest shooting in US history.
