Associated Press reports ISIS has claimed responsibility the mass shooting in Las Vegas where 50 people were killed and more than 400 wounded, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago. Shooter is identified as Stephen Paddock, 64 year old Mesquite, Nevada resident. Police say he killed himself after Police stormed his 32nd floor hotel room inside Mandalay Bay. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said authorities believe it was a “lone wolf” attack. And the U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no “specific credible threat” involving other public venues in the U.S. AP reports the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack and said the gunman was “a soldier” who had converted to Islam months ago. But it provided no evidence, and federal authorities said they were still investigating. Reuters America reports that Senior U.S. Official discounts Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for Vegas mass shooting. SWAT teams using explosives stormed the gunman’s hotel room in the sleek, gold-colored glass skyscraper and found he had killed himself, authorities said. He had as many as 10 guns with him, including rifles, they said.
