More details are being revealed
about the horrific shooting at a Las Vegas music festival that left 58
people dead and 515 injured.
Police
say 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock used automatic weapons to rain
down gunfire on a crowd of 22,000 people attending the Route 91 Harvest
Festival Sunday night, from his room across the street in the Mandalay
Bay hotel.

Headliner Jason
Aldean was in the middle of his set just after 10pm when a rumble of
gunfire rang out, the sounds of screams and stampeding humans cutting
through the country music.
It
took police an hour and 12 minutes from the first 911 call to locate
Paddock in the building. They were able to figure out that the shots
were coming from the Mandalay Bay, so they worked their way from the
bottom up. Once they reached the 32nd floor, authorities say they knew
they were in the right place. Why remains unclear, but they could have
possible smelt or heard gunfire.
