“Psychopath has become a shorthand term for a sadistic, extraordinarily violent individual,” says UNLV professor who has researched psychopaths for years. “… That’s not Paddock.”
The Shooter
Las Vegas police announced they found Hyundai Tucson they had been seeking in connection with Sunday’s mass shooting investigation.
Investigators are looking into whether gunman Stephen Paddock scoped out bigger music festivals in Las Vegas and Chicago — and perhaps Boston’s Fenway Park — before setting up his perch in a casino hotel and raining deadly fire on country music fans.
Stephen Paddock’s casino game of choice — video poker — was a perfect means to win money in a way that he could get complimentary rooms, like the Mandalay Bay suite where he died Sunday night, without raising suspicion.
The brother of Strip shooter Stephen Paddock said Wednesday he is trying to raise $1 million for the victims of the mass killings outside the Mandalay Bay.
Diazepam, the anti-anxiety medicine prescribed for Las Vegas gunman less than four months before the mass shooting, has a deserved reputation as a Jekyll-and-Hyde drug, calming some and causing others to become more aggressive.

Stephen Paddock was a ghost in the place he called home before killing at least 59 and injuring at least 527 people during a country music festival Sunday night.
A Henderson doctor wrote a prescription for the drug diazepam for Stephen Paddock, 64 of Mesquite and he filled it the same day in Reno, according to a state Prescription Monitoring Program record obtained by the Review-Journal.
This compilation of images widely reported in the media show Stephen Paddock and some views inside the Mandalay Bay hotel room following Sunday night’s shooting.
Why Stephen Paddock decided to unleash rapid gunfire into a crowd of more than 22,000 people from his Mandalay Bay corner suite remains the million-dollar question, and the one person who may have answers was halfway around the world in the days following the deadly Route 91 Harvest Festival attack.
