The Las Vegas shooter was obsessed with Hitler and the Oklahoma City bombers, declassified FBI records reveal.
reported last September, people who had walked away from the scene that day were still struggling with a lack of information and answers five years after the life-altering ordeal.
In the latest trove of documents, FBI interviews with people who interacted with the shooter offer some insight into his habits and interests, his demeanor, and his state of mind before the attack. One person who knew the gunman told an FBI agent that Paddock “thought Adolf Hitler was a good man,” and that he was “fascinated” with the, who killed 168 people in 1995. They described him as “mad at the system” and said he “did not like how things were going.” The shooter had begun stockpiling money in the months before his attack, the interviewee said. He also described hearing him make “threats,” but did not take them seriously until May 2017.
Known for his status as a big-spending gambler, the gunman favored video poker and would sometimes spend 18 hours at a time in casinos, the records reveal. One fellow gambler told the FBI that casinos had recently cut back on the perks they’d previously extended to high-rollers, including free cruises and penthouse suites, and that Paddock was displeased about this.
