The Las Vegas Shooting Case Is Closed ‐ But Police Didn't Determine A Motive
[Yahoo] Vegas police have concluded that the shooter, Stephen Paddock, acted alone, unaffiliated with any terrorist organization. According to Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, no one else will be charged in connection to the tragedy.As for his motive, police are left without answers after hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of investigative work. Despite an early claim from the Islamic State, the FBI ruled out the theory that Paddock was a "soldier" who had recently been radicalized. Though there are no links to international terrorism, MGM Resorts International wants federal courts to qualify the shooting as an act of terrorism and absolve the company of any liability to the survivors and families of the victims, reports the Associated Press. Lombardo was asked early on in the investigation about a motive for the attack, to which he answered: "I can't get into the mind of a psychopath at this point."
