'''Stephen Craig Paddock''' (April 9th, 1953 - October 1st, 2017) was an American mass murderer who killed at least 58 people at an Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 1st, 2017. He shot himself when police closed in. It is currently ranked the deadliest [[Mass Shooting|mass shooting]] in modern American history, surpassing the Orlando nightclub shooting perpetrated by [[Omar Mateen]] the previous year.

He was married and divorced twice, in 1977-1979, and in 1985-1990. He worked as an "internal auditor" for the predecessor of Lockheed Martin in 1985-1988. He lived in Texas and Florida, including a retirement community in Melbourne, Florida from 2013-2015. He last lived in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

While ''Newsweek'' reported that [[ISIS]] had claimed Paddock was a convert to Islam, so far the FBI has reported no evidence of that. Officials with the Church of the SubGenius did report he was a member of their church, but that he held no position within the church and they did not condone his actions.

His motive for the shooting is as yet unknown. Prior to the shooting, he had no criminal record. While a frequent gambler, he was apparently financially successful.
