CBSNEWS LAS VEGAS – A shooting at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 200 others late Sunday, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
He said the man authorities think was the sole gunman was killed by police on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a country music festival.
"We believe it's a solo actor. A lone wolf," Lombardo said.
He said the gunman is an area resident.
Law enforcement sources told CBS News a search warrant has been issued for the home of the shooter, identified as Stephen Paddock, of Mesquite, Nevada.
Police there told CBS News the suspect was white, had been living in a retirement community and hadn't had any run-ins with law enforcement. He wasn't a veteran, Mesquite police added.
Asked if authorities think the shooting was an act of terrorism, Lombardo replied, "No. Not at this point. ... We don't know what his belief system was at this time."
Lombardo said authorities believe they had found a traveling companion of the deceased gunman they were seeking, who Lombardo identified her as Marilou Danley. Law enforcement sources tell CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton Danley was Paddock's wife.
Lombardo added that authorities had tracked down two vehicles believed associated with the shooting.
