Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock who gunned down 59 people at a music festival last week had visited the Middle East on a cruise last year, a police has revealed.
The official confirmed that Paddock went on several voyages over the past few years and one was to the region, The Sun reported.
ISIS had claimed Paddock was one of their “soldiers” who carried out the attack on its behalf after converting to Islam six months ago. However, police had dismissed the claims.
The CNN had reported that the cruises included stops at ports in Spain, Italy, Greece, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, had accompanied him on nine of the cruises.
Meanwhile, a note discovered in Paddock’s hotel room from where he opened fire featured hand-written calculations on where he needed to aim to increase his accuracy and number of kills, US network CBS reported. The note, however, has not shed any light on the gunman’s motives.
