Calla Medig, a resident of Jasper, Canada, resident, was one of the people who died in Sunday's mass shooting, her employer confirmed. Medig was "super mature, light heartened, grounded, down to earth,” said Scott Collingwood, general manager at Moxie’s restaurant in West Edmonton, where Calla worked as a waitress since September 2015.
This was her third year attending the festival, he said. “She left a big hole in our hearts here,” he said.

Shooter's girlfriend is in the Philippines

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said today that law enforcement authorities are in communication with the shooter’s girlfriend — Marilou Danley — and that she is in the Philippines.
He told reporters at a press conference that he anticipates “some information here from her shortly.”

Shooter set up cameras at his hotel room at Mandalay Bay Resort

Shooter Stephen Paddock had cameras set up inside and outside his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay Resort, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said. Paddock may have been using the cameras to spot law enforcement coming to his room.

This shooting was "pre-planned extensively," sheriff says

The type and amount of weaponry found in Stephen Paddock's hotel room suggests Sunday night's shooting was premeditated and "pre-planned extensively," County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.
“Obviously premeditated in the fact that he had the type of weaponry and the amount of weaponry in that room, it was pre-planned extensively and I’m pretty sure he evaluated everything he did in his actions, which is troublesome,” the sheriff said.
When asked if investigators will eventually determine a motive, Lombardo said, "I absolutely believe that."

Sheriff: "We can't manage donations"

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said police and the Red Cross are grateful yet "overwhelmed" with donations of supplies. He requests that people in the Las Vegas area bring relief supplies to Catholic Charities and Las Vegas food bank Three Square.

Sheriff: Some victims were trampled

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo say the victims injuries were "across the board."
"We have trampled injuries. We have people trying to escape. Injuries of their own device. We have gunshot wounds," he said.
Some victims died at the concert venue. Others had been shot and died several blocks away as they ran from the scene.
Lombardo says he believes the number of people injured has decreased by 20. The error, he said, was the result of a double count at one of the hospitals.
