Vegas gunman had 12 modified guns in his hotel suite [CLIPS]

Investigators in Las Vegas say the gunman who carried out the
deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history had cameras and a dozen
modified guns in his hotel suite.


Officials say Stephen Paddock opened fire on a music festival from a
nearby hotel killing 58 people before taking his own life.


A motive is still not known but law enforcement now want to speak with
Paddock's girlfriend who had been located in the Philippines.


Law enforcement personnel say she's a person of interest and was met
by federal agents upon arriving back in the U.S.




ATF Special Agent Jill Snyder says 12 of the guns found in the hotel
suite were equipped with bump stocks to allow them to fire at a
quicker rate.
