Summary: Stephen Paddock, who sent bullets and terror down on thousands attending a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, had an arsenal in his thirty-second-floor hotel room and at his home eighty miles away, officials said. Police recovered twenty-three guns from his Las Vegas hotel room and another nineteen guns from Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada, Clark County Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said. Authorities said Paddock killed fifty-nine people and injured another five hundred and twenty-seven early Monday in the "deadliest mass shooting in modern US history."
Analysis: CNN News reporters Holly Van, Philip Victor, and Darran Simon wrote this article informing the audience about the culprit of the mass shooting that took place in Las Vegas during a Jason Aldean concert, Stephen Paddock, along with the terrifying amount of weapons hidden at his homes (including scopes of rifles and explosives). The fact that a single man could hold such an enormous amount of weapons and have it hidden for who knows how long really terrifies me because it makes me ponder over who is truly trustworthy and who isn't. The purpose of this article might have been to warn the audience that there is a high possibility that there are indeed people out there who are heavily armed like Stephen Paddock and that we all need to keep an eye out for such people.
