*He reportedly was having financial problems at the time of the shooting, and was also struggling with depression and alcoholism, which likely played a factor in the shooting.

*When police raided his hotel room, they found several hundred [[Child Pornography|child pornography]] files on a laptop found with him, as well as ammonium nitrate, which is often used in the creation of [[improvised explosive device]]s. Fortunately, no explosives had been created. Also found were hand-written notes regarding bullet trajectory, the elevation of his hotel room, and how the wind would affect his shooting, among similar details of that nature.

*Paddock was an avid gambler, and therefore knew the Las Vegas area well.

*Paddock was an avid gambler, and gamer, and therefore knew the Las Vegas area well.

*At the time of the shooting, Paddock had been in a relationship with a woman from the Philippines, and several weeks before, told her to return to the Philippines and gave her money to purchase a house there.

*During the 1980's, he worked as an auditor with the Internal Revenue Service.

Line 90:

*Some far-right conspiracy theorists have claimed that Paddock was either a registered Democrat or a member of [[Antifa]]. Neither claim has ever been substantiated, as Paddock's political affiliations, if he had any at all, are unknown, and there are no indications that he was involved with Antifa.

*His birthday is on April 9, which is the same as [[Eric Harris]], who was born 28 years after Paddock. Harris was one of the two culprits, alongside [[Dylan Klebold]] responsible for the Columbine High School Massacre 18 year earlier.

*According to reports, he was a videogame fanatic, since childhood.
