Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock opened fire after losing $1.5 MILLION while gambling weeks before massacring 60, newly-released FBI files reveal

The Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock killed 60 people and injured hundreds more after losing $1.5million gambling weeks before the shooting, new FBI files revealed.

An FBI interview with the gunman’s fellow gambler detailed in hundreds of pages of documents made public this week’s suggests his loss could have been an influence.

The other gambler, whose name is redacted in the documents, said he believes the stress could have easily caused gunman Stephen Paddock ‘to snap.’ Paddock, 64, was a video poker player who relied on gambling as his main source of income.
