FBI agents investigating the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. in Las Vegas in October announced they are probing a new person in its investigation.
Local and federal law enforcement had previously believed Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old high-stakes gambler, acted alone when he went on a shooting rampage from his 32nd floor hotel room that killed 58 people at a concert.
“The FBI has an ongoing case against an individual of federal interest,” Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told a press conference, but he declined to give details, Newsweek reports.
The Friday announcement of a person of interest is the first indication that another person may have helped Paddock, who killed himself following the attack.
The FBI recently announced that Paddock’s girlfriend likely wouldn’t be charged because she was unaware of the planned attack.
