Las Vegas Mass Shooter Researched Southern California Areas

LAS VEGAS, NV -- The man responsible for killing 58 people and wounding hundreds more during a country music festival in Las Vegas also researched areas in Southern California. The new details were released Friday in a preliminary investigative report by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The report showed Stephen Paddock, who went on a shooting rampage from his Mandalay Bay hotel room on Oct. 1, searched several areas in southern California. The report said Paddock searched for Fairmount Miramar Hotel and The Bungalow in Santa Monica on Google Maps on May 18, 2017.

On the same day, he also searched "La Jolla Beach" and "how crowded does Santa Monica Beach get" on Google.

The report also revealed Paddock looked up the Yelp listing for Santa Monica State Beach and went to the website, sandiego.org. He also searched "Discovery Children's Museum."

Among the details of the report are updated injury totals - 422 people suffered gunshot related injuries and 851 in total suffered injuries directly related to the shooting.

In a press conference revealing the new report, Sheriff Joe Lombardo also announced that charges could be brought against an unidentified individual within the next 60 days, but couldn't elaborate on what that meant.

The investigation has involved 2,000 leads and the review of over 21,560 hours of video so far, Lombardo said.
