New telescope launch date pushed back.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NASA has announced the launch of the James Webb Telescope has been delayed to 2019. The space agency said the reason for the postponement was not the result of any technical concerns, but that integrating all the elements of the spacecraft was "taking longer than expected."

Initially, NASA said it was aiming to launch the telescope in 2015. The date was later revised to October 2018, but this has now been pushed back, with a new launch schedule between March and June, 2019.

"The change in launch timing is not indicative of hardware or technical performance concerns," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said in a statement. "Rather, the integration of the various spacecraft elements is taking longer than expected."

When it launches, the James Webb Telescope will be the world's biggest space telescope. It is sometimes referred to as Hubble's successor, as it will build on and expand many of the discoveries made with the 27-year-old telescope.

One of the most intriguing capabilities of the James Webb Telescope is that it will be able to detect the atmospheres of exoplanets-planets beyond our own solar system. In doing this, it may even be able to find signatures of the building blocks of life, so scientists will be able to narrow down the planets we should be targeting in the search for aliens.

These include the recently discovered TRAPPIST-1 planets -seven planets, of which three or four are believed to be potentially habitable. This means they may have the conditions right to host life.

Under its agreement with the European Space Agency, NASA must provide a launch window of one year before the telescope is sent up into space. After a recent assessment of the October 2018 date, NASA found it was necessary to reschedule.

"Testing of the telescope and science instruments continues to go well and on schedule," NASA said, adding the additional time will allow them to make sure they have fully tested all parts of the telescope before its launch.

Eric Smith, program director for the James Webb Space Telescope, said: "Webb's spacecraft and sunshield are larger and more complex than most spacecraft. The combination of some integration activities taking longer than initially planned, such as the installation of more than 100 sunshield membrane release devices, factoring in lessons learned from earlier testing, like longer time spans for vibration testing, has meant the integration and testing process is just taking longer.

"Considering the investment NASA has made, and the good performance to date, we want to proceed very systematically through these tests to be ready for a Spring 2019 launch."

Reports say that ISIS has claimed responsibility for the Las Vegas Terrorist attack but the FBI has not released an official statement.  Some believe that they may have made a false claim to ramp up of the confusion

A gunman fired a barrage of bullets at an outdoor country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada Sunday night, killing at least 50 people and injuring more than 400 others, police said, in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Early Monday authorities shut down part of the Las Vegas Strip and Interstate 15 as part of the investigation. McCarran International Airport officials also temporarily halted all flights in and out in response to the shooting and have since resumed "limited" flights.

Former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis told FOX Business that he suspects the Las Vegas strip will be closed for several days in order for police to do a full investigation.

"During the Boston bombing, we locked down Boylston Street for a full seven days so that the FBI could collect evidence and our evidence team at Boston PD needed a full seven days to process that scene. You have a very active venue here, so I'm sure there will be that level of detail here but it is a very difficult thing to accomplish in a facility that really has to keep operating," Davis said.

While authorities have not announced any plans to close the strip down, the incident could negatively impact the city's tourism economy, which was in line to set record-breaking numbers this year.

According to a study by Applied Analysis from March, Las Vegas tourism spending generated a record $59.6 billion in economic activity in 2016, creating an estimated 407,000 jobs but analysts predicted that number was to rise even more by the end of 2017.

"Tourism has always been crucial to Southern Nevada's economy, and we couldn't be happier to see the record-breaking numbers from 2016, and anticipate topping those numbers once again in 2017," Lawrence Weekly, chairman of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority's (LVCVA) and Clark County commissioner said in a statement in March.

Earlier this month, Clark County Aviation Director Rosemary Vassiliadis told the Associated Press that the McCarran International Airport is on track this year to break its 2007 year-end record of 47.8 million airline passengers. More than 32 million people have flown in or out of the Las Vegas airport so far this year.
Here's a look at Las Vegas Tourism in 2016, according LVCVA.
In 2016, Southern Nevada welcomed a record 42.9 million visitors.

An average visitor spent $827, with total direct spending of $35.5 billion, an increase of 16.3% more than 2015's total direct spending of $30.5 billion (or an average of $721 per visitor).

In 2016, Las Vegas also reached an all-time record for business travel in 2016 with 6.3 million visitors in the destination for a meeting or trade show.

Convention attendance was the primary driver for tourism growth in 2016, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total increase from 2015 to 2016.

Three U.S. scientists won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of molecular mechanisms that control what people refer to as our biological clock. They conducted an experiment using fruit flies to find a gene and proteins that controls every day rhythm. They will be given a prize of 9 million Swedish kronor, or $1.1 million.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young were awarded the prize for their research on how plants, humans and animals adapt their biological rhythm tosynchronize with our planet's day and night cycle, as the earth rotates, in order to control their daily life.

Hall spent most of his career at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, where Rosbash still works as a faculty member. Young works out of Rockefeller University in New York. The winners will share a prize of 9 million Swedish kronor, which is around $1.1 million.

All living organisms on Earth have an internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, which in humans underlies why we are awake during the day and sleep at night.

But our biological clock also helps regulates eating habits, hormone release, blood pressure and body temperature.

The US trio used fruit flies to discover a gene that controls this everyday rhythm and further showed that the gene encoded a protein which "accumulates in the cell during the night and degrades during the day," to regulate this cycle, the committee said in a statement.

According to the Nobel committee, a person's well-being is affected when there is a "temporary mismatch between our external environment and this internal biological clock."

For example, disruption to our clocks when someone travels across a number of time zones results in jet lag.

The committee explained how an imbalance between lifestyle and rhythm could lead to increased risk for a number of diseases including metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Researching fruit flies

The research rewarded with this year's prize built on the work of scientistSeymour Benzer and his student Ronald Konopka in the 1970s. The pair highlighted how mutations in an unknown gene disrupted the circadian clock of flies, naming the gene "period."

Using fruit flies toinvestigate this further, this year's Nobel Laureates set out to reveal how this gene actually works -- and in turn controls the body clock. They managed to isolate the period gene and soon discovered that levels of the protein this gene encodes, PER, increase during the night and degraded during the day, highlighting that the protein fluctuates over a 24 hour cycle.

They then went on to discover the role of another gene, called "timeless," which encodes a protein called TIM, that works in combination with the PER protein to regulate the activity of the period gene and in turn the levels of the PER protein -- enabling this 24-hour oscillation.

"This is a really important conceptual breakthrough," said Professor Russell Foster, head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology and director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford. "This part of biology is spreading to lots of different areas of biology and other areas of health."

Foster, who has long worked in the area of circadian rhythms, believes this research could provide the platform to help those with degenerative diseases as well as blindness and schizophrenia.

He said therapeutic interventions could be made possible by mimicking light to regulate a person'sbody clock.

'Optimum health'

The accolade is echoed by Andrew Mackenzie, head of policy and communications at The Physiological Society in the UK.

"This is a very important piece of work and has huge implications," he said.

"When the body clock is disrupted, you're more likely to suffer from diseases ... this research means we can target particular aspects or components of the clock to help treat certain diseases."

Mackenzie said that this research would allow drugs to target a specific area where the clock is disrupted.

"It shows that our brain and body require a good 24 hour rhythm to have optimum health," he said.

David Ray, a professor of medicine and endocrinology at the University of Manchester, said the implications of the research were "far-reaching," and paid tribute to the winners.

"These investigators were the first to discover a gene that controlled circadian behavior," Ray said. "It had been recognized for some time that animals and plants not only respond to changes in light as we move from day to night with the Earth's rotation, but that they anticipate such changes."

This allows organisms to prepare for and gain maximum benefit from the change in environment, he added.

SpaceX is planning to land at least 2 cargo ships on Mars by the  2022. Ships carrying crew would arrive on mars by the year 2024. SpaceX plans to start building the first spacecraft by the middle on next year.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Elon Musk just unveiled more of his grand plan for colonizing Mars.

The hard-charging tech mogul said his rocket company, SpaceX, aims to land at least two cargo ships on the Red Planet in 2022 in order to place power, mining and life support systems there for future flights.

That's just five years from now.

"That's not a typo -- although it is aspirational," Musk said Friday during a presentation at the International Astronautical Congress in Australia. Ships carrying crews would arrive in 2024, he added.

To hit those deadlines, SpaceX plans to start building the first spaceship by the middle of next year, he said. The billionaire entrepreneur does have a track record of setting ambitious time frames for SpaceX, and failing to meet them.

Musk revealed more details on the spacecraft -- the BFR, or Big Falcon Rocket, which inside the company is nicknamed the "Big F--king Rocket." If he has his way, the people who colonize Mars will eventually travel in style in the BFR, which will accommodate around 100 people spread out over 40 cabins, and include large common areas and an entertainment system.

SpaceX has figured out a way to pay for the costly missions, according to Musk, but he shied away from giving specific numbers.

The company thinks it can make enough money from its current business of launching satellites and servicing the International Space Station to finance its Mars ambitions. Musk's goal is to make the BFR reusable, which would significantly bring down the cost of launches.

Scott Hubbard, the former director of NASA's Ames Research Center and a director of the Planetary Society, said there's merit to that business plan.

If SpaceX can indeed make BFR "fully reusable," he said, "the cost barrier to human Mars exploration could be significantly reduced."

Hubbard added that he'd like to see more information about how SpaceX's spaceship will support 100 human lives for the long journey to Mars -- which could last six to nine months. (Musk says it can be done three.) "The devil is in the details," he said.

Musk's vision for BFR also goes beyond Mars exploration. He says the rockets could allow SpaceX to eventually establish a lunar base, which he dubbed "Moon Base Alpha."

"It's 2017, we should have a lunar base by now," he said. "What the hell's going on?"

Moon Base Alpha

A post shared by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on

Musk suggested the BFR could eventually also be used to clean up space by gobbling up old satellites and other junk orbiting the earth.

And it may come in handy closer to home. Musk said the rockets could fly people from city to city on Earth in incredibly short time spans, such as from New York to Shanghai in 39 minutes.

SpaceX isn't the only company with an eye on Mars, though.

Just hours before Musk took the stage in Australian city of Adelaide on Friday, Lockheed Martin touted its plans for a "Mars Base Camp" -- a mobile space habitat that it's developing for NASA. The system would work in tandem with Orion, the spacecraft NASA is developing for crewed missions to deep space.

Lockheed said the structure could be assembled at NASA's Deep Space Gateway -- a structure the agency is developing that would live in space between Earth and the Moon.

The company says it hopes to build and send the structure to the Mars in about 10 years.

Unlike SpaceX's plan, NASA and Lockheed aren't looking to colonize Mars. Their project is focused on executing experimental missions in which highly trained astronauts would visit the planet and ultimately return to Earth.

Aerospace giant Boeing has also said it wants the first person to set foot on Mars to get there on one of its rockets.

Bre Baughn-NFL anthem protests continue with raised fists, T-shirt slogans

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
And many San Francisco 49ers knelt during the National Anthem, although some put their hands over their hearts.

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick pioneered the protests last year when he took a knee during the anthem over what he said was social and racial injustice.

As they were last week, some players' protests were met with boos from fans.

Here's a roundup of highlights from stadiums around the league.

Boos in Baltimore

Before the Baltimore Ravens took the field against Pittsburgh Steelers, the public-address announcer asked the crowd to join the Ravens organization "to pray that we as a nation embrace kindness, unity, equality, and justice for all Americans," CNN affiliate WJZ reported.

The Ravens took a knee, then stood for the playing of the National Anthem, the station reported. The crowd appeared to boo as players knelt.

Last week, fans also booed when the Dallas Cowboys, including owner Jerry Jones, took a knee before locking arms during the anthem.

The Steelers all took the field before the anthem and stood during the song. Many Steelers, including head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, were shown with their hand over their hearts.

So was Steeler tackle Alejandro Villanueva, a former captain in the Army and an ex-Ranger. Last week, while the rest of his teammates remained in the locker room during the anthem, Villanueva stood in the tunnel alone with his hand over his heart.

Fists raised in Cleveland

Some players took stronger stances.

Several Cleveland Browns players held their fists high during the anthem before their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. At least one Browns fan also raised his fist in the air while those next to him saluted or held their hands over their hearts.

Bengals players were shown standing. The broadcast didn't show any players from either team kneeling.

Lynch vs. Trump

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch was spotted walking into Sports Authority Field in Denver Sunday wearing a T-shirt that read, "EVERYBODY VS. TRUMP," according to KGO, a CNN affiliate.

Lynch later sat on the bench, as he usually does, during the playing of the National Anthem before the game with the Denver Broncos -- the only Raider to do so, according to multiple reports.

Taking a knee in London

A trio of Miami Dolphins players -- Kenny Stills, Michael Thomas and Julius Thomas -- also took a knee as the anthem played before their game against the New Orleans Saints at Wembley Stadium in London, England, according to CNN affiliate WFOR. The three players stood for the British national anthem, the station reported.

The Saints, including quarterback Drew Brees, were seen kneeling as a team before the anthem.Most Saints players stood while the anthem played, and some locked arms.

Other players kneel, sit, wear T-shirts

Several Buffalo Bills players took a knee during the anthem before the game against the Atlanta Falcons; most Bills players stood with their arms linked. The Falcons, including head coach Dan Quinn, stood with their arms linked, too.

Detroit Loins players Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Steve Longa took a knee during the anthem before playing the Minnesota Vikings. Some Lions players locked arms, as well as the entire Vikings team, according to announcer.

Before the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks, the Colts players released a statement saying the players who had previously knelt during the anthem "did not intend to disrespect our flag, our National Anthem or those who serve our country."

Rather, the players wanted to use their platform to raise awareness and talk about "about real equality, the injustices against black and brown people, police brutality, respect, unity and equal opportunity," the statement said.

"Our players are hurting, our people are hurting, our neighborhoods are hurting, and kneeling was a direct response to that hurt," the statement said.

During warmups, some Colts players, including quarterback Andrew Luck, wore black T-shirts with "WE WILL" on the front and "STAND FOR...EQUALITY, JUSTICE, UNITY, RESPECT, DIALOGUE, OPPORTUNITY" on the back.

The Colts were shown standing during the anthem with their arms linked on the TV broadcast. The broadcast showed Seattle Seahawks defensive linemen Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, and Frank Clark seated during anthem; other Seahawks were standing. Other Seahawks also sat during the anthem, a photo from CNN affiliate KIRO-TV showed.

'Stay united, not divided'

Carolina Panthers teammates Thomas Davis and Jonathan Stewart joined in prayer on the sidelines before the team's game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts, CNN affiliate WBTV reported.

Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson sported blue shoes with the words, "Stay United, Not Divided." The shoes also featured black and white hands shaking hands, WBTV reported.

Carolina Panther Julius Peppers, who remained in the locker room during the anthem before the team's game last week, was on the field for the song Sunday.

Patriots players, including quarterback Tom Brady, stood during the anthem and rested their hands on the player next to them.

Newton stood for the anthem. He later raised his fist after scoring a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter in the 33-30 win.

"It was to signify Black Power, but more importantly, I pray every night for God to give me a pinnacle to give people hope," Newton said after the game, according to a video of his post-game press conference posted on the official Panthers site.

"I did it to ... show black pride because I am an African-American," Newton said.

Newton said he also wanted people to see "the joy... that I go out there and play with."

'Embrace your differences'

About half the members of the San Francisco 49ers knelt during the National Anthem before their game against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Arizona, while some of those kneeling also placed their hands over their hearts. Their teammates stood behind them, with one hand over their hearts and the other on the shoulders of the kneeling players.

The 49ers issued a statement saying the demonstration was meant to show unity, love and brotherhood.

"For more than a year, members of our team have protested the oppression and social injustices still present in our society. While some may not have taken a knee or raised a fist, we have all shared the desire to influence positive change," the team said.

"Our demonstration is simply a representation of how we hope our country can also come together by putting differences aside and solving its problems," said the team, which encouraged fans to "embrace your differences, find strength in them, and come together for the good of all."

Twelve days after Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, officials said only 5% of the island has electricity and its schools are not close to reopening.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Julia Kelleher, Puerto Rico's secretary of education, told CNN on Sunday that some public schools might not resume classes until October 16 because of storm damage, though decisions will be made on a regional basis.

There are 1,113 public schools and a student population of 350,000 on the island but only 400 schools have been assessed for damage, she said.

"I have come up with a target date of October 16th," Kelleher said. "We used to make system-wide decisions before, but this time we're going to allow the different regions to make their own decision as to when they can reopen."

Schools started classes August 14 but students have already missed two weeks because of Hurricane Irma, which lashed the island only days before Maria hit.

The report on schools came one day after President Trump took to Twitter to criticize the leadership of island officials, especially the mayor of San Juan.

Trump, who plans to visit the island Tuesday, criticized San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and the "leadership ability" of some in Puerto Rico who "want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort."

Cruz earlier had criticized the distribution of aid to the island and said federal authorities needed to do more. In addition to widespread power outages, many people have limited access to gas, cash and running water.

FEMA said Sunday it has expanded its delivery of food and water throughout Puerto Rico, though officials stressed that many people still lack the essentials.

The federal emergency agency has delivered food and water to all 79 municipalities in Puerto Rico, Alejandro De La Campa, FEMA federal coordinating officer in Puerto Rico, told reporters Sunday. He said 1 million liters of water and 1 million meals had been delivered as of Saturday.

However, he said some isolated areas of these municipalities may not have received the commodities, partly because lack of communication systems has hampered distribution efforts.

Officialsprovided an update Sunday morning on recovery efforts and the island's infrastructure:

Water. 41% of the island has potable water.

Food and water delivery. Eleven regional staging areas are open for food and water distribution but officials hope that number will grow to 25 in coming days. About half the grocery stores are operating.

Electricity. 5% of the island has power. The Army Corps of Engineers has begun a mission to repair the power grid, Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello said.

Gasoline. More than 710 of the island's roughly 1,110 gas stations were working as of Saturday morning, but lines were long and some stations were closing ahead of the 9 p.m. curfew.

Fuel delivery. Over the next few days, close to a million gallons of gasoline and half a million gallons of diesel fuel will arrive, the governor said. As of Sunday, 470,000 barrels of gasoline were in Puerto Rico.

Communications. 36% of people now have phone service in Puerto Rico, most in the northeast part of the island. All the island's landlines are operating but only about 11% of the cell towers are operational.

Shelters: 8,800 people remain in 139 shelters. Rossello saw this as an improvement because 500 shelters were operating 10 days ago.

Air travel. 39 passenger flights were expected on Sunday in Puerto Rico, which has a maximum efficiency of 60 flights.

Medical care. 51 of 69 hospitals are running in some capacity now, along with 46 of 48 dialysis centers.

Islanders receiving benefits under Puerto Rico's Nutrition Assistance program who have been displaced by the hurricanes can apply for benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the USDA announced Sunday. The policy will remain in effect through October 31.

Hurricane Maria struck as a category 4 storm on September 20. At least 16 people on the US commonwealth died, the government has said.

CNN's Rafael Romo, Jason Hanna, AnneClaire Stapleton and Diane Ruggiero contributed to this report.

a Tennessee man was shot and killed while protecting his wife

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least 59 people were killed when a gunman opened fire late Sunday at a Las Vegas concert. Families and loved ones of those killed, or of the more than 520 injured, have spoken to media outlets or taken to social media to express their condolences.

Lisa Romero-Muniz and Sonny Melton were among the victims. Melton, of Big Sandy, Tenn., was protecting his wife when a gunman aiming from the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas hotel-casino unleashed a hail of bullets on an outdoor country music festival below, his family told Fox affiliate WZTV.

"At this point, I'm in complete disbelief and despair," the man's wife, Heather Gulish Melton, told the station in a statement Monday.

"I don't know what to say. Sonny was the most kind-hearted, loving man I have ever met," Melton said. "He saved my life and lost his."

Melton, 29, was a registered nurse who worked at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, Tenn., according to his Facebook profile.

On Friday night, Melton posted on the social media site that he was attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas with his wife, an orthopaedic surgeon.

The couple worked at the same hospital and married in 2016.

"We were the couple that never should have met, fallen in love or had a future together....but life is funny and we believe God brought us together as soul mates," read their wedding page on the website The Knot. "We have shared amazing times together and nearly unbearable heartaches but through it all we have grown stronger in our love for each other and our families."

Lisa Romero-Muniz, who also was killed in the shooting, worked as a secretary at Miyamura High School in Gallup, N.M. A school official confirmed to Fox News that Romero died at the concert.

A Canadian man, identified as 23-year-old Jordan McIldoon, also died in the shooting, according to multiple media reports. He was days away from his 24th birthday. A fellow concertgoer, Heather Gooze, wrote on her Facebook page that McIldoon died in her arms, CBC News reported Monday.

The man's parents, who confirmed their son's death to the news outlet, said McIldoon attended the concert with his girlfriend and had planned to return home on Monday.

"We only had one child," they said. "We just don't know what to do."

Alaska native Adrian Murfitt, 35, died during the concert, a family member said Monday. Murfitt worked as a fisherman, and went to Vegas to attend the concert to "treat himself to something nice and fun," his sister told The Associated Press.

Here are the names of other victims identified in the shooting:

-Quinton Robbins, 20, of Henderson, Nev., studied at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and worked in the city government of his hometown. He was described in a posting on his aunt's Facebook page as "the most kind and loving soul."

-Jessica Klymchuk, 28, a Canadian single mother of four who was visiting Las Vegas with her fiancé, was an educational assistant, librarian and bus driver for St. Stephen's School. She got engaged in April.

-Rachael Parker, a 10-year employee with the Manhattan Beach Police Department in Manhattan Beach, Calif. The police department confirmed her death in a news release and said Parker will be "greatly missed."

-Sandy Casey, 35, worked as a special education teacher at Manhattan Beach Middle School, and got engaged to her boyfriend five months ago in New Zealand.

-Susan Smith, 53, of Simi Valley, Calif., who worked as a teacher at Vista Elementary School for 16 years, "was the hub of everything that happened at the school ... she was always smiling."

-Charleston "Chuck" Hartfield, 34, was an off-duty Las Vegas police officer, military veteran and youth football coach, who recently wrote a book titled, "Memoirs of a Public Servant."

-Angie Gomez, a 2015 graduate of Riverside Polytechnic High School PTSA in Riverside, Calif.

-Rhonda LeRocque, 41, an "amazing" mother from Tewksbury, Mass., who "did everything for her family."

-Denise Burditus, a wife of 32 years, a mother of two, and soon-to-be grandmother, of Martinsburg, W.Va., was in attendance at the festival for the second consecutive year with her husband Tony, described by a family member as Denise's high school sweetheart.

-Jennifer Irvine, a family law and criminal defense lawyer was a "bubbly, vivacious, pint-sized, aggressive attorney" who "was going to do good things in her career."

-Jenny Parks, whose husband was also shot by the shooter but survived, was a kindergarten teacher for the Lancaster School District in California and "was truly one of the most loving people you could ever hope to meet."

-John Phippen, a father from Santa Clarita, Calif., whose son remains hospitalized after being shot, died Monday morning. He reportedly operated a home remodeling company called JP Specialties.

-Thomas Day Jr., 54, of the Las Vegas area, was at the festival with his four children. He reportedly worked as a home builder.

-Neysa Tonks, 46, of Utah, moved to Las Vegas 10 years ago. Her brother said "she was pretty much a single mother who raised three boys. She was a great mom and a great sister and a great friend," who worked at the IT firm Technologent.

-Bailey Schweitzer, 20, of Bakersfield, Calif.

-Jack Beaton, of Bakersfield, Calif., was killed while covering his wife from gunfire.

-Victor Link, of San Clemente, Calif.

Witness: Concertgoers risked their lives to try to hold other people's wounds closed

Gunman's brother: "We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck."

Stephen Paddock, who sent bullets and terror down on thousands attending a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, had an arsenal in his 32nd-floor hotel room and at his home 80 miles away, officials said.

Police recovered 23 guns from his Las Vegas hotel room and another 19 guns from Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada, Clark County Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said.

Authorities said Paddock killed 59 people and injured another 527 early Monday in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

In the hours after the retired accountant committed the shooting, authorities rolled out frightening new details, including the discovery of scopes on rifles at the resort and explosives at his home.

But what they couldn't explain is why the man who had never faced any notable criminal charges did it. There was no known motive late Monday.

Even Paddock's brother had no answers.

"We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck," Eric Paddock said in Orlando, Florida.

Latest developments

- A team of six officers spoke with security at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Paddock was staying, and searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before they found Paddock's room, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

- Paddock, 64, fired at the officers through the door, Lombardo said. A SWAT team broke down the door, but Paddock had already killed himself, Lombardo said.

- Authorities recovered 23 guns from Paddock's room, said Clark County NV Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo. Lombardo said several of the rifles had scopes on them.

- Another 19 firearms, along with explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition in Paddock's Mesquite, Nevada, home. The gunman apparently had smashed out two windows to increase his range of targets.

- The sheriff said a SWAT team was standing by at a house in northern Nevada. A law enforcement official confirmed the FBI is present in Reno.

Vikings rookie RB Dalvin Cook out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL

The Minnesota Vikings announced running back Dalvin Cook suffered a knee injury Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

According to Rotoworld, Cook's knee buckled when he was attempting to make a cut. He exited after running for 66 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.

Health was a concern surrounding Cook when he entered the 2017 NFL draft. He battled hamstring issues in 2015 and underwent shoulder surgery in 2016.

That will likely be at the forefront of the minds of Vikings fans with Sunday's news. It'd be unfair to call Cook injury-prone, but the knee injury speaks to what was already a worry regarding his long-term future in the league.

Before selecting Cook in the second round, the Vikings signed Latavius Murray to a three-year deal worth $15 million. While durability has been a problem for him as well, Murray has remained generally effective when healthy.

He ran for 788 yards and 12 touchdowns in 14 games for the Oakland Raiders a year ago, and his combination of experience and production will be even more valuable for Minnesota should Cook be forced to miss any game time.

At an outdoor concert,in los vegas, a man kills lots of people.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The last time Eric Paddock heard from his brother, Stephen Paddock had texted to find out how their 90-year-old mother was doing.

It was mid-September and Hurricane Irma had cut power in the Orlando, Florida, neighborhood where she lived. Stephen Paddock, who lived in Nevada, followed up with a call to their mother. Later, he sent her a walker to help her get around, Eric Paddock said.

About two weeks after the text, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock would be dead of a self-inflicted gunshot after police say he opened fire on a country music festival in Las Vegas.

He was 'just a guy'

The news doesn't square with Eric Paddock's image of his older brother, he told reporters Monday - a poker-playing accountant and real estate investor with no apparent political or religious affiliation, "as far as I know," he hastened to add.

To his brother, Stephen was "just a guy," an "army of one" with no known children despite a string of relationships. Someone you might see nursing a drink alone at a bar. Someone who went on cruises and played $100-a-hand video poker. Someone who sent boxes of cookies to his mother.

"There's absolutely no way I could conceive that my brother would shoot a bunch of people that he didn't know," Eric Paddock said outside his home, shaking his head as he fumbled for words.

"Something just incredibly wrong happened to my brother."

Deadliest mass shooting in modern US history

Various agencies are investigating what led Stephen Paddock to shoot from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel into a crowd of some 22,000 concertgoers. Paddock killed 58 people and wounded nearly 500.

Las Vegas police said they did not know Stephen Paddock's name before the shooting and they believe he acted alone. He bought multiple firearms in the past, but investigators believe the firearms were purchased legally, a law enforcement official said. A Mesquite store, Guns & Guitars, said it sold a gun to Paddock and that "he never gave any indication or reason to believe he was unstable or unfit at any time."

Police found at least 23 weapons inside his hotel room, including multiple rifles, some with scopes. At least one rifle may have been altered to function as an automatic weapon, a law enforcement official said.

'We're up all night because we gamble'

Eric Paddock said he knew his brother had firearms. His children had gone skeet shooting with their uncle before, but Eric did not know Stephen to be a hunter.

Eric helped his brother drive across the country in 2016 to a new home in Mesquite, Nevada, a retiree community about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Along the way, the brothers ate sushi and drank late into the evening, Eric Paddock recalled. But he did not recall his brother bringing a machine gun along with him.

However, he acknowledged the limits of his knowledge, living thousands of miles from a brother he only spoke to occasionally.

Stephen Paddock lived in Mesquite with his girlfriend, 62-year-old Marilou Danley. She was out of the country during the shooting, but returned Tuesday and was questioned by law enforcement.

He might have kept quiet about the guns, but he wasn't shy about the gambling.

When he bought a house in Mesquite, he wrote on his application that his income came from "gambling." He also told a real estate agent that he gambled about $1 million a year, an agent speaking on condition of anonymity said.

He sought privacy and kept a low profile. Some of his neighbors rarely saw him, but they knew he was a gambler.

Paddock said he was a high roller and real estate speculator from Las Vegas. "We're up all night because we gamble," Don Judy, one of Paddock's old neighbors in Florida, remembered him saying.

A search of Stephen Paddock's home in Mesquite turned up at least 19 additional firearms, explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said Monday night. Several pounds of ammonium nitrate, a material used to make explosives, were found in Paddock's car.

That came as a surprise to one of his former neighbors. "If there was any impression, I would say, guy had no idea what a gun was," said Judy, who lived next door to Stephen Paddock from 2013-2015 in a retirement community in Melbourne, Florida.

Paddock never stayed at the house for very long, Judy said. Sometimes he came with his girlfriend, sometimes without.

Not a team player

Stephen Paddock held various federal jobs in the 1970s and 80s. He was a US Postal Service letter carrier in the mid- to -late 70s; an agent with the Internal Revenue Service from 1978 to 1984; and worked for the Defense Contract Audit Agency in 1984 and 1985, the US Office of Personnel Management said.

Eric Paddock said his brother also was a successful real estate investor who owned apartments and houses. Records link him over the years to more than nine houses, condos and apartment buildings in Nevada, Florida and California.

Investigators were looking Monday at several properties in the Reno area associated with Stephen Paddock.

Residents of the properties told CNN the FBI stopped by on Monday. One resident at a residence on Del Webb Parkway said he and his wife never saw Stephen Paddock, but saw his girlfriend as recently as this summer.

Because he had no children, he was free to come and go as he pleased, his brother said. Paddock had married and divorced twice, court records show. His first marriage lasted two years, from 1977 to 1979. He remarried in 1985, and divorced again in 1990 after nearly five years of marriage.

His second ex-wife lives in Los Angeles County, California, and has had no contact with him in years, authorities said.

He flew planes for a while until he got tired of it and started taking cruises, his brother said. A federal official confirmed he had a pilot's license, but said that he was not up to date on the medical certification he would need in order to fly legally.

It was a passion that traced back to his childhood, his brother said. He excelled at sports, too, but never played or joined organized clubs. "He wasn't a team kind of guy," Eric Paddock said.

Father was bank robber

One point of intrigue has emerged from the shooter's background, courtesy of his brother: Their father was a bank robber.

According to the FBI, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock was on its most-wanted list from June 10, 1969 until May 5, 1977. He escaped from prison in 1969 and lived on the run until 1978, when he was arrested in Oregon, the Eugene Register-Guard reported at the time. Eric Paddock said his father died a few years ago and that "he was never with my mom." Eric said he was born while his father was on the run.

But Eric Paddock resisted the idea that his brother was somehow emulating their father's criminal tendencies. When pressed to explain what happened, he has no explanation.

"He was my brother, and it's like an asteroid fell out of the sky," he said. "We're still just completely dumbstruck."

Correction: This story has been revised to give the correct full name of the Eugene Register-Guard. The story also has been revised to give the correct amount of time Stephen Paddock and his ex-wife were married. They were married for four years and nine months.

For the second Sunday in a row, many NFL players have taken it upon themselves to voice their opinions about our president Donald Trump. Marshawn Lynch, Oaklands starting running back, wore a shirt pregame that said, "Everybody vs. Trump" in protest of the president recent comments.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
And many San Francisco 49ers knelt during the National Anthem, although some put their hands over their hearts.

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick pioneered the protests last year when he took a knee during the anthem over what he said was social and racial injustice.

As they were last week, some players' protests were met with boos from fans.

Here's a roundup of highlights from stadiums around the league.

Boos in Baltimore

Before the Baltimore Ravens took the field against Pittsburgh Steelers, the public-address announcer asked the crowd to join the Ravens organization "to pray that we as a nation embrace kindness, unity, equality, and justice for all Americans," CNN affiliate WJZ reported.

The Ravens took a knee, then stood for the playing of the National Anthem, the station reported. The crowd appeared to boo as players knelt.

Last week, fans also booed when the Dallas Cowboys, including owner Jerry Jones, took a knee before locking arms during the anthem.

The Steelers all took the field before the anthem and stood during the song. Many Steelers, including head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, were shown with their hand over their hearts.

So was Steeler tackle Alejandro Villanueva, a former captain in the Army and an ex-Ranger. Last week, while the rest of his teammates remained in the locker room during the anthem, Villanueva stood in the tunnel alone with his hand over his heart.

Fists raised in Cleveland

Some players took stronger stances.

Several Cleveland Browns players held their fists high during the anthem before their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. At least one Browns fan also raised his fist in the air while those next to him saluted or held their hands over their hearts.

Bengals players were shown standing. The broadcast didn't show any players from either team kneeling.

Lynch vs. Trump

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch was spotted walking into Sports Authority Field in Denver Sunday wearing a T-shirt that read, "EVERYBODY VS. TRUMP," according to KGO, a CNN affiliate.

Lynch later sat on the bench, as he usually does, during the playing of the National Anthem before the game with the Denver Broncos -- the only Raider to do so, according to multiple reports.

Taking a knee in London

A trio of Miami Dolphins players -- Kenny Stills, Michael Thomas and Julius Thomas -- also took a knee as the anthem played before their game against the New Orleans Saints at Wembley Stadium in London, England, according to CNN affiliate WFOR. The three players stood for the British national anthem, the station reported.

The Saints, including quarterback Drew Brees, were seen kneeling as a team before the anthem.Most Saints players stood while the anthem played, and some locked arms.

Other players kneel, sit, wear T-shirts

Several Buffalo Bills players took a knee during the anthem before the game against the Atlanta Falcons; most Bills players stood with their arms linked. The Falcons, including head coach Dan Quinn, stood with their arms linked, too.

Detroit Loins players Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Steve Longa took a knee during the anthem before playing the Minnesota Vikings. Some Lions players locked arms, as well as the entire Vikings team, according to announcer.

Before the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks, the Colts players released a statement saying the players who had previously knelt during the anthem "did not intend to disrespect our flag, our National Anthem or those who serve our country."

Rather, the players wanted to use their platform to raise awareness and talk about "about real equality, the injustices against black and brown people, police brutality, respect, unity and equal opportunity," the statement said.

"Our players are hurting, our people are hurting, our neighborhoods are hurting, and kneeling was a direct response to that hurt," the statement said.

During warmups, some Colts players, including quarterback Andrew Luck, wore black T-shirts with "WE WILL" on the front and "STAND FOR...EQUALITY, JUSTICE, UNITY, RESPECT, DIALOGUE, OPPORTUNITY" on the back.

The Colts were shown standing during the anthem with their arms linked on the TV broadcast. The broadcast showed Seattle Seahawks defensive linemen Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, and Frank Clark seated during anthem; other Seahawks were standing. Other Seahawks also sat during the anthem, a photo from CNN affiliate KIRO-TV showed.

'Stay united, not divided'

Carolina Panthers teammates Thomas Davis and Jonathan Stewart joined in prayer on the sidelines before the team's game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts, CNN affiliate WBTV reported.

Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson sported blue shoes with the words, "Stay United, Not Divided." The shoes also featured black and white hands shaking hands, WBTV reported.

Carolina Panther Julius Peppers, who remained in the locker room during the anthem before the team's game last week, was on the field for the song Sunday.

Patriots players, including quarterback Tom Brady, stood during the anthem and rested their hands on the player next to them.

Newton stood for the anthem. He later raised his fist after scoring a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter in the 33-30 win.

"It was to signify Black Power, but more importantly, I pray every night for God to give me a pinnacle to give people hope," Newton said after the game, according to a video of his post-game press conference posted on the official Panthers site.

"I did it to ... show black pride because I am an African-American," Newton said.

Newton said he also wanted people to see "the joy... that I go out there and play with."

'Embrace your differences'

About half the members of the San Francisco 49ers knelt during the National Anthem before their game against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Arizona, while some of those kneeling also placed their hands over their hearts. Their teammates stood behind them, with one hand over their hearts and the other on the shoulders of the kneeling players.

The 49ers issued a statement saying the demonstration was meant to show unity, love and brotherhood.

"For more than a year, members of our team have protested the oppression and social injustices still present in our society. While some may not have taken a knee or raised a fist, we have all shared the desire to influence positive change," the team said.

"Our demonstration is simply a representation of how we hope our country can also come together by putting differences aside and solving its problems," said the team, which encouraged fans to "embrace your differences, find strength in them, and come together for the good of all."

Witness: Concertgoers risked their lives to try to hold other people's wounds closed

Gunman's brother: "We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck."

Stephen Paddock, who sent bullets and terror down on thousands attending a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, had an arsenal in his 32nd-floor hotel room and at his home 80 miles away, officials said.

A knife attack that resulted in the loss of two lives in France is being treated as a terror attack.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The incident is being treated as a terror attack and has been handed over to a special prosecutor in Paris, according to the prosecutor's office.

Authorities are investigating whether the suspect had links to terror organizations.

Amaq, ISIS' media wing, issued a statement on social media late Sunday calling the attacker a "soldier of the Islamic State."

The statement issued in Arabic said the attacker "implemented the operation as an answer to the call of targeting the coalition countries." France is a member of the US-led coalition battling ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

ISIS did not name the attacker or provide evidence that he was linked to the terror group.

The attacker was not carrying any identification, Marseille police said, but French Interior Minister Gérard Collomb said during a news conference that "The attacker had several identities."

Appearing on CNN affiliate BFM, Collomb said witnesses heard the attacker shout, "Allahu Akbar" -- or, "God is the greatest" -- and that the investigation was continuing.

Surveillance footage showed the suspect attack his first victim, run away and come back to stab the second woman, the minister said. The suspect then ran toward soldiers arriving on the scene, Collomb said.

"Again we measure the devotion and the exceptional engagement of our troops. They have my honors," Collomb said in a tweet.

The Saint-Charles station is the same one where four Americans studying abroad fell victim to acid attacks last month. The Boston College students, three of whom were studying in Paris and one in Copenhagen, were treated for burns and released.

That attacker was a 41-year-old mentally unstable woman, police said. She was arrested and hospitalized, according to BFM.

There was no reason to believe the acid attacks were terror-related, police said.

CNN's Ben Marcus contributed to this report.

After serving nine years for a Las Vegas kidnapping and armed robbery, he left prison early Sunday to start a new chapter as a parolee.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After serving nine years for a Las Vegas kidnapping and armed robbery,he left prison early Sunday to start a new chapter as a parolee.

Simpson's parole plan was agreed upon at Lovelock Correctional Center prior to his release, Nevada's Division of Parole and Probation said.

"Mr. Simpson submitted a parole release plan for a residence in Las Vegas, Nevada. The plan was investigated and approved by the Division of Parole and Probation," it said.

The center did not provide more specifics of Simpson's release plan, saying it was up to Simpson, his family and his attorney as to whether they wanted such information shared.

However, now that the former NFL star is out of prison, those who know him are not expecting him to become a recluse.

"He's not going to hide," said longtime friend Tom Scotto, who attended Simpson's parole hearing this summer.

Several associates told CNN Simpson would be living in a gated residence with unspecified friends in a wealthy Las Vegas suburb, and planned to move to Florida later on.

"He's going to focus on kids, friends, his family and golf," Scotto said. "Maybe not the first day or second, but he is going to go out."

Two of Simpson's children live in the Tampa Bay area in Florida, one lives in Los Angeles and another in Georgia.

'Don't come back'

Simpson was picked up by a friend shortly after midnight local time Sunday, according to Brooke Keast, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Corrections.

"I told him, 'Don't come back,' and he responded, 'I don't intend to,'" she said. "He was upbeat, personable and seemed happy to get on with his life."

Unlike previous instances, where controversy followed wherever he went, Simpson was released in the middle of the night to avoid media attention.

"Our biggest concern was our safety and the public's safety and not wanting anybody, paparazzi, to follow him," Keast said. "He left through a big blue door through the front gatehouse and exited quietly. He looked down because he didn't want to be photographed."

Meeting with parole officer

Before his release, prison officials did an inventory of what he wanted to take with him or leave behind. He walked out of prison with paperwork and "three or four boxes about the size of a microwave," according to Keast.

Inside the boxes were items such as a hot plate, clothing and shower shoes, she said.

Simpson also met with one person who'll become a fixture in his post-prison life: his parole officer.

"They went over what he needs for parole and where he needs to check in, what he should do to get a driver's license, et cetera, (and) instructions on what to do once he's out there," Keast said.

The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners voted unanimously in July to release Simpson after he served nine years of a 33-year sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping.

During that robbery in 2007, he was part of a group that raided a hotel and casino to steal sports memorabilia at gunpoint. Simpson, a former player for the Buffalo Bills, said the items belonged to him.

No drugs, no alcohol

As a parolee, Simpson will have to meet a number of conditions set by the Nevada parole board.

While out of prison, he won't have the liberty to consume alcohol in large quantities or hang out with ex-convicts. The Nevada parole board forbids parolees from associating with convicted felons and people who engage in criminal activity, or possessing guns and drugs. Alcohol abuse can get a parolee hauled back to prison.

"You are permitt ed to consume alcoholic beverages but not in excess," the conditions of parole supervision read. "You shall submit to a medically recognized test for blood/breath content. Test results of .08 alcohol or higher shall be sufficient proof of excess."

Simpson received a bad score on his parole risk assessment guideline in the drug/alcohol abuse category, with the document citing him for "frequent abuse, serious disruption of functioning."

He testified that he had been drinking alcohol the day of the raid on memorabilia dealers that led to his arrest and conviction.

State of Florida 'objects'

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote a letter to Florida's Department of Corrections on Friday saying she did not want Simpson to move to her state and asking them to "notify all appropriate authorities of the State of Nevada that the State of Florida objects to the granting of such permission."

But Simpson lawyer Malcolm LaVergne lambasted Bondi over the letter, accusing her of exploiting the issue to score political points ahead of elections.

"One hundred percent Mr. Simpson will be able to move to Florida," he said Sunday. "She doesn't have jurisdiction over his move."

But Shawn Arruti, spokesman for Nevada Parole and Probation, said it's not a sure thing.

"Interstate compact is not a guaranteed thing," he said after Simpson's parole hearing in July, referring to an agreement between two states. "Interstate compact is a privilege, but it's a privilege based on meeting certain criteria. And Florida, when they do their investigation, they'll make the determination of whether or not they're going to be willing to accept his case. "

From NFL star to murder suspect

Simpson spent a lifetime in the limelight -- first for his athletic prowess, charm and good looks, then as a murder suspect in the 1994 killing of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

His murder trial in Los Angeles was dubbed "the trial of the century" and sparked years of debate over race and justice.

Simpson pleaded "100% not guilty" and assembled a team of famous local and national lawyers. He was eventually acquitted in 1995, but many questioned whether he got away with murder.

The victims' families filed a suit for wrongful death. Two years after his acquittal, he was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.

The 42-year-old takes a long swig from his 24-ounce can of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a liquid gleam of mischief in his eyes. He's in a bar in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, and now, on the evening of September 15, 2017, he's minutes away from attempting his latest hustle: He's going to walk into the stadium without a ticket.

A waiter from Westchester County, New York, he has conned his way into hundreds of sporting events in his life. He's posed as a member of the Secret Service protecting a presidential candidate, as a sailor during Fleet Week, even as a Good Samaritan pushing an elderly woman in a wheelchair through a gate. He's hopped turnstiles and run like he was on a prison break, found unlocked doors, acted like he was in Spike Lee's entourage and played the role of a country rube who lost his ticket.

"The key is confidence," he says as he places his tallboy on the wooden bar in the South Bronx. "Act like you're supposed to be there, bro, and they'll always believe you. I mean, always."

A second sneaker strolls through the Las Vegas summer evening, striding along the Strip, the neon lights aglow in the warm desert night. It is August 26, 2017, and in this city of risk-taking, the 32-year-old bartender from England is an hour away from the biggest gamble of his life.

Dressed in his finest suit-it's part of the costume, part of the hustle-he's plotting to scam his way into one of the most expensive seats in the history of boxing: the front row of the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight. Nearing T-Mobile Arena, his courage fueled by multiple afternoon cocktails, he tells himself: I will do this. I can do this.

A third sneaker cases the outside of Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, slowly walking around its parking lots five hours before Game 7 of the NBA Finals. It is June 19, 2016, and the student from the University of Texas is searching for his opportunity to hoodwink security and make them believe he's something he's not: a reporter. Alone and now about to attempt the first sneak of his life into a sporting event, he whispers to himself, If I believe it, they'll believe it. If I believe it, they'll believe it.

He keeps moving and assessing the scene, his moment of reckoning at hand, his pulse quickening. This is what virtually every sneaker says they experience at this do-or-don't crossroad: a rush of adrenaline more powerful than any narcotic.

Yes, to most of them, the sneak is a seductive pursuit.

Sneaking into sporting events is a tradition that dates back to, well, probably the first recorded sporting event in history, a footrace at the Olympics in Greece in 776 B.C. There are the old-school methods of sneaking in with the band or dressing up as a stadium vendor or slipping through a hole in an outfield fence. But sneaking in the age of omnipresent security cameras (not to mention omnipresent iPhones) has raised the stakes: It's now harder than ever to evade detection-and to avoid a misdemeanor trespassing charge.

There are no statistics that detail how widespread sneaking is today, but after weeks of examining this phenomenon, B/R Mag can confirm this: It happens a lot-certainly with more frequency than any stadium operator would like you to know.

On a recent night at Yankee Stadium, for instance, a reporter watched a dozen people slip into a single entrance 30 minutes before the first pitch. With ticket prices to sporting events at all-time highs, many sneakers view themselves as modern-day Robin Hoods, as heroic outlaws who are standing up to the fat-cat team owners who have made it increasingly difficult for the working class to attend professional sporting events.

"I always want to buy a ticket to the games," says Joe from Westchester County, the sneaker now sitting in a bar on 161st Street outside of Yankee Stadium who has asked that his last name be withheld because he has no plans to stop sneaking. "But when I get to the stadium and can't find a ticket that I can afford, I say to myself, 'Fuck it, I'll just go for free.'"

Strolling outside Oracle Arena, with Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals five hours away, Micah Poag looks nothing like a 19-year-old college student. This is by design, all part of the charade.

Like most students at the University of Texas at Austin, Micah is familiar with the boozy action on Sixth Street, a six-block stretch in downtown Austin lined with bars and juke joints. Micah, now a junior finance major, has seen several of his underage friends use fake IDs to gain entrance to the different drinking establishments.

This spawns an idea. "I thought, 'What if I made my own kind of fake ID for the NBA Finals?" Micah says. "I originally thought I would go in looking like a stadium worker, but then I thought it would just be easier if I made a press pass and went as a reporter. And I figured everyone knows what an ESPN pass would look like because ESPN has been around forever, but Bleacher Report is this up-and-coming site that has legitimacy, so I thought B/R was the way to go."

A few days before Game 7, sitting in his Austin apartment, Micah texts a few of his friends and boldly declares he's going to buy a plane ticket and sneak into the NBA Finals; his buddies are dubious. But Micah is determined to back up his words. He Googles "Bleacher Report press passes" and studies several images. He then heads to a local FedEx office and spends an hour using Photoshop to design his B/R credential. For finishing touches of authenticity, he uses a laminator and attaches the "credential" to a lanyard.
Editor's note: Yes, he really did pretend to work for our site. But no, Bleacher Report does not condone or endorse this kind of move, which could result in criminal charges, and there are no publicly available images of what one of our current press credentials would look like.
A full-blooded fan of the Warriors and especially of two-time MVP Stephen Curry -he learned about the team playing Xbox-Micah knows well the difference between watching an event from inside the arena as opposed to the couch, to him a difference as dramatic as flying first class versus coach. He grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and sat in the front row of Dallas Stars hockey games and behind home plate for Texas Rangers baseball.

"You feel like you're part of the team when you're that close," he says.

Micah returns to his computer. He researches what reporters typically wear to cover NBA basketball games; he sees that many male reporters dress in Oxford blue shirts and khaki pants. He buys a last-minute $300 plane ticket online and stuffs his credential and reporter attire into a bag.

A day later he's outside the arena, a Bleacher Report "credential" dangling from his neck. He circles Oracle twice on foot. He sees a janitor near a door. Micah wonders if this guy should be his mark-is he the one who will be gullible enough to believe his media ID is legitimate?

Oliver Regis, a 32-year-old bartender from Stamford, Lincolnshire, a town 90 miles north of London, spends the afternoon of the Mayweather-McGregor fight lounging at Wet Republic, the adult playground at the MGM hotel featuring saltwater pools and open-air bars. He pounds several Bud Lights and vodka cranberries. His passion for McGregor is evident to all: He has a tattoo of the fighter emblazoned on his right thigh.

Minutes after tickets for the fight went on sale two months earlier, the bartender with the shaved head purchased a nosebleed seat on Ticketmaster for $2,500. But he has no plans to sit near the rafters of T-Mobile Arena; he brazenly tells strangers at the pool that he's going to bamboozle his way onto the ground level and into the front row.

The hours pass, and Oliver keeps drinking, fortifying his confidence. "The first time I did this for a fight I was 20 years old and I was so nervous," Oliver says. "But that was 12 years ago. Now I just have a few drinks before the fight and I'm ready to go."

Around 5 p.m. Oliver leaves the pool and returns to his MGM hotel room, where he showers and changes into a light-gray suit he had recently purchased for $190. The suit, he believes, will help him blend in with the beautiful people-and the rich and the famous-who will populate the seats closest to the ring.

Still buzzed from his day of drinking, he lumbers to a nearby Outback Steakhouse and eats an eight-ounce filet-his normal pre-sneak meal. Two hours later, he hands his ticket to an usher at T-Mobile and sidles into the arena.

Now his adrenaline is pumping as his eyes dart back and forth, searching for his best route to the floor seats. Oliver is looking for the weakest link in security-an inattentive guard, a herd of people flooding one entrance. But he soon realizes that every high-priced ticket on the arena floor has to be scanned, one by one, by an usher. Worse, every usher appears as serious and stern as a judge.

Oliver is crestfallen. Yet just then, in the dark distance in the bowels of the arena, he spies two very large, very beefy white men in tank tops moving toward a floor entrance. In a heartbeat, Oliver realizes this is his chance.

Joe from Westchester nears Yankee Stadium. He stops at a bodega, walks to the back of the small grocery store and approaches two locals who guard a door. Joe nods his head, the door swings open, and he steps into an open courtyard, where about 100 people are drinking and dancing to salsa music. Swinging by this clandestine party is part of Joe's normal pregame sneak routine at Yankee Stadium.

"This is where the Bleacher Creatures get it cranked up before games," Joe says. "The people I used to sneak in with, this is where we'd hang. This is how we do it!"

Standing in the open-air patio, Joe begins to tell stories. In the last 15 years, he says, he has sneaked into almost every iconic New York venue: Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Nassau Coliseum and Giants Stadium, to name a few.

"You always want to search for the area of least resistance," Joe says in his thick New York accent. "And then when you get to the gate, you need to find the person taking the tickets who looks like they don't care about their job. If there's a mad rush of people going in all at once, it's usually easy to slide behind an usher because the usher is so overwhelmed. And most ushers don't want confrontation."

For example, Joe says, at Wayne Gretzky's last game at the Garden in 1999, he went with a friend and just busted through security. "Then we both ran in opposite directions. There was so much chaos that the usher didn't do anything."

Or, Joe says, he'll buy a ticket for the first night of a four-day concert, then find an out-of-the-way exit door. "I'll put tape over the lock so the door shuts, but it won't lock," he says. "Then I'll use that door the next three nights."

Another time, Joe says he saw an elderly man pushing his wife in a wheelchair outside Yankee Stadium and asked, "Can I help you?" Then he pushed the woman, who had a ticket around her neck, through the gate. "Security never asked me for my ticket."

During Fleet Week in New York, without even changing into a Naval uniform, Joe says he blends in with the sailors as security lets them into Yankee Stadium for free. "When the gates open," he says, "I walk in with them."

Another time, when a presidential candidate came to Yankee Stadium, Joe says he saw the Secret Service escort, so he put his right hand to his ear, mimicking the agents, and tried to walk in with them.

"A [Secret] serviceman spotted me and yelled at me, so I left but was never actually detained-and I later snuck in anyway."

And once at a boxing match at Radio City Music Hall, Joe says there was a door to the side of the main entrance workers were using for smoke breaks. "Once that door opened, I just walked in like I belonged there. That's so important: Act like you belong."

Joe leaves the bodega party and walks out into the New York twilight, the night rich with possibility. He meanders around Yankee Stadium, examining each entrance as if he's a building inspector looking for a structural weakness. After a few minutes of sizing up the scene, he sees what he's looking for.

He makes his move.

Micah Poag approaches a janitor standing next to a door at Oracle Arena. He figures he has one shot at conning his way in before he attracts the attention of law enforcement. But when he is just a few feet away from the janitor, his nerves grip him. He turns back.

He continues his slow stroll around the stadium, hunting for his opportunity. Minutes later he spots a window washer near another door. Micah presses forward, hoping the washer has a key to unlock the door. Holding his credential and pointing at the door, he asks to be let inside. He repeats himself. Then again.

The window washer doesn't speak English.

But the washer understands that Micah wants the door opened. So the window washer raps his fist on the metal door. Seconds later, a security guard pushes it open.

This is a worst-case scenario for Micah. But he immediately remembers how his teenage friends back in Austin duped bouncers at bars-by exuding confidence and by acting intensely preoccupied at the precise moment of the interaction, thus forcing the bouncer to feel as if they are in some way bothering the fake ID holder.

Holding his credential in one hand and his cellphone in the other, Micah squeezes through the door. He pretends like he's dealing with an urgent matter on his phone, texting away, his face contorted. He takes about a dozen steps into Oracle, believing freedom is only feet away. But then the guard yells, "Hey!"

Micah keeps his head buried in his phone, staying in character, his heart thumping, feigning he doesn't hear her. After a few more steps, he gently lifts his eyes and suddenly sees a safe haven: the men's bathroom.

He enters a stall. The female security guard doesn't follow. At one point he leaves the bathroom and takes a photo of the empty arena, which he Snapchats to 100 friends with the words, "Hands shaking cause holy shit."

Then he returns to the bathroom, sits on a toilet and-wanting to stay unnoticed and look preoccupied-he pulls his pants down.

For the next two hours, he doesn't move.

When a police officer and a bomb-sniffing dog sweep through the bathroom, Micah doesn't budge, his khakis still resting at his ankles.

Inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, out on the lower level of the main concourse, Oliver recognizes the faces of the two burly men: They are the bodyguards for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Oliver had watched the pre-fight press conferences, part of his pre-sneak reconnaissance. "You never know what information you're going to need," he says. During a presser, McGregor called Mayweather's bodyguards "juicehead turkeys," prompting the cameras to show their faces. Now inside T-Mobile, Oliver identifies Mayweather's security team.

Oliver race-walks to the bodyguards, pressing so close behind them he can smell their cologne. The ushers wave the bodyguards through the checkpoint-and Oliver as well. As he walks close to the ring, Oliver feels like he's just entered his own Eden-and like he's just bagged the biggest elephant in all of Vegas.

He sits in the third row for the fight before the main event. He looks around and is pinch-me-now flabbergasted: LeBron James is in his row. Mike Tyson is a row behind him and Leonardo DiCaprio is about 10 feet away. But then P. Diddy, his girlfriend and his entourage step near. Oliver is in one of their seats. A security guard approaches Oliver and asks to see his ticket. "My girlfriend has it. Let me go get her," he replies. He rises to leave-he snaps a quick selfie with P. Diddy.

Wandering ringside, he can't help himself. He poses for selfies with the likes of Tyson, Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. Oliver is in sneak-in nirvana, experiencing the crowning hour of his sneaking career.

He returns to an empty seat in the eighth row.

The fight starts and Oliver is hypnotized, hearing the grunting of the fighters and the violent smacks of glove and flesh. At one point he turns to a man behind him and asks him how much he paid for his ticket.

"It cost me $45,000 to be here," the man says.

Oliver so badly wants to tell the man his sneaking story, but he fears his cover could be blown. He'll share his secret soon enough.

Micah rises from the toilet inside Oracle Arena. He wanders out onto the concourse now filled with thousands of fans. He lets out a deep breath; the kid has done it.

He finds an empty seat near the arena's top rim-"I didn't want to press my luck by going down low," he says-and watches the first quarter of Game 7. A man arrives and informs Micah that he's in his seat. Not wanting to cause a stir, Micah leaves. For the rest of the game, he hopscotches around Oracle, viewing LeBron and Steph from steps and aisles and portals. During it all, he believes this is quite possibly the greatest day of his life.

After the game, Micah heads down to the court, where the Cavaliers are celebrating their first NBA title. A security officer stops him, but Micah bullishly flashes his "press credential" and is waved forward. He takes a selfie before another officer realizes his press pass doesn't have the words "all-access" on it. Micah is told he can't go any farther.

A lesson for the future, however, has just been learned.

At an entrance located beyond the Yankee Stadium outfield, Joe from Westchester spots a security guard who looks like he'd rather be anywhere than working a baseball game. He's yawning and constantly checking his watch. This is Joe's kind of man.

Joe places a few items on a conveyor belt to run through a metal detector. Then, standing behind a few fans, he waits until the security guard is distracted. Joe grabs his belongings and stealthily glides into the stadium unnoticed. The ease of this sneak is staggering.

Joe plants himself in the front row out in left field. "Just another day at the office, bro," he says. "Just another day at my Yankee Stadium office."

Joe turns to watch an at-bat, a devilish grin stretching across his face.

Shortly after watching Mayweather score a technical knockout over McGregor in the 10th round, Oliver returns to his MGM hotel room. Back in the U.K., several of his friends had seen him on television in the crowd, and he responds to dozens of astonished text messages. Alone in his room, he senses his life may have changed.

He posts pictures on Facebook and Twitter. He sends emails to reporters in the U.K., detailing his sneak and asking them if they'd pay him for an interview. Two agree to his demands. A London reporter calls him at 3 a.m. Within hours, the story of his sneak reaches virtually every corner of the globe. [B/R Mag did not pay Oliver for his cooperation.]

"I wanted to make money, and I wanted to be famous," says Oliver, who was never contacted by any authorities. "I was on television in the United States and in Australia. The BBC came to my pub for a story. It's weird to say, but I'm now like a local celebrity here at home."

Oliver recently went out for a night of drinking with his buddies in his town Stamford, Lincolnshire. Before walking into the first pub, Oliver bets his boys that five strangers will ask him for selfies. His friends happily accept the £20 wager.

Oliver is way off. By the end of the evening, more than 20 people have their picture taken with the bartender who hustled his way into seats more valuable than Oliver's own life savings.

For Oliver, the search for his next score already is underway.

The news of the Game 7 sneak travels at warp speed throughout Austin, powered by Micah's Facebook posts showing images of the night he outwitted security at Oracle Arena.

At fraternity parties, in bars, even in class, students treat Micah like a conquering hero, practically throwing rose petals at his feet for pulling off his daring scam. A friend acts as his publicist and sets up an interview with a Dallas radio station. After Micah's appearance, several stories are written about the kid who conned his way into the biggest NBA game of the season.

The Oakland district attorney isn't amused, asking Micah to fly back to California for a face-to-face meeting. Micah obliges. To avoid prosecution on a trespassing charge, Micah writes a dozen apology letters-to the Warriors, to the NBA, to the security firm hired for Game 7. He is banned from all NBA games for a year and recently completed community service.

Does Micah regret his stunt? He's eating lunch in an Austin restaurant and, before answering, takes a long sip of water. All stadium sneakers excel at reading the body language of others, of detecting-in poker parlance-classic tells. But now Micah is expressionless.

He explains that he fears how the Oakland DA will view his words. "I'll say this: I have more confidence now than I've ever had in my life, and it's because of what I did," Micah says. "I was able to do something that no one thought I could, and that really has made me believe in myself. I almost feel like I'm a different person now, a better person, a person who believes in himself."

He's asked again: Does he regret his sneak?

Now Micah can't suppress his own tell.

He smiles.

Attempted murder charges filed in Canada car, knife attack

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Canadian prosecutors have filed charges including attempted murder against a man suspected of ramming his car into a policeman, stabbing him and then injuring four people while leading officers on a high-speed chase in a rental van.

Abdulahi Hasan Sharif faces five counts of attempted murder, five counts of dangerous driving and one weapons charge in connection with the incident late Saturday in the western city of Edmonton.

The 30-year-old suspect is a Somali refugee once investigated for allegedly espousing extremism. Police have said terrorism charges are expected, but none have been filed so far.

He is in custody with a bail hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

An Islamic State group flag was found in the car that hit the officer, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it a terror attack.

Three US scientists were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in medicine, for their discoveries on our "biological clocks".

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young were awarded the prize for their research on how plants, humans and animals adapt their biological rhythm tosynchronize with our planet's day and night cycle, as the earth rotates, in order to control their daily life.

Hall spent most of his career at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, where Rosbash still works as a faculty member. Young works out of Rockefeller University in New York. The winners will share a prize of 9 million Swedish kronor, which is around $1.1 million.

All living organisms on Earth have an internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, which in humans underlies why we are awake during the day and sleep at night.

But our biological clock also helps regulates eating habits, hormone release, blood pressure and body temperature.

The US trio used fruit flies to discover a gene that controls this everyday rhythm and further showed that the gene encoded a protein which "accumulates in the cell during the night and degrades during the day," to regulate this cycle, the committee said in a statement.

According to the Nobel committee, a person's well-being is affected when there is a "temporary mismatch between our external environment and this internal biological clock."

For example, disruption to our clocks when someone travels across a number of time zones results in jet lag.

The committee explained how an imbalance between lifestyle and rhythm could lead to increased risk for a number of diseases including metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Researching fruit flies

The research rewarded with this year's prize built on the work of scientistSeymour Benzer and his student Ronald Konopka in the 1970s. The pair highlighted how mutations in an unknown gene disrupted the circadian clock of flies, naming the gene "period."

Using fruit flies toinvestigate this further, this year's Nobel Laureates set out to reveal how this gene actually works -- and in turn controls the body clock. They managed to isolate the period gene and soon discovered that levels of the protein this gene encodes, PER, increase during the night and degraded during the day, highlighting that the protein fluctuates over a 24 hour cycle.

They then went on to discover the role of another gene, called "timeless," which encodes a protein called TIM, that works in combination with the PER protein to regulate the activity of the period gene and in turn the levels of the PER protein -- enabling this 24-hour oscillation.

"This is a really important conceptual breakthrough," said Professor Russell Foster, head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology and director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford. "This part of biology is spreading to lots of different areas of biology and other areas of health."

Foster, who has long worked in the area of circadian rhythms, believes this research could provide the platform to help those with degenerative diseases as well as blindness and schizophrenia.

He said therapeutic interventions could be made possible by mimicking light to regulate a person'sbody clock.

'Optimum health'

The accolade is echoed by Andrew Mackenzie, head of policy and communications at The Physiological Society in the UK.

"This is a very important piece of work and has huge implications," he said.

"When the body clock is disrupted, you're more likely to suffer from diseases ... this research means we can target particular aspects or components of the clock to help treat certain diseases."

Mackenzie said that this research would allow drugs to target a specific area where the clock is disrupted.

"It shows that our brain and body require a good 24 hour rhythm to have optimum health," he said.

David Ray, a professor of medicine and endocrinology at the University of Manchester, said the implications of the research were "far-reaching," and paid tribute to the winners.

"These investigators were the first to discover a gene that controlled circadian behavior," Ray said. "It had been recognized for some time that animals and plants not only respond to changes in light as we move from day to night with the Earth's rotation, but that they anticipate such changes."

This allows organisms to prepare for and gain maximum benefit from the change in environment, he added.

Number of victims rises- at least 58 dead from Las Vegas mass shooting

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
LAS VEGAS - A gunman perched on the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas hotel-casino unleashed a hail of bullets on an outdoor country music festival below, killing at least 58 people as tens of thousands of concertgoers screamed and ran for their lives, officials said Monday. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

At least 515 others were injured in the Sunday night attack, authorities said.

SWAT teams using explosives stormed the gunman's hotel room in the sleek, gold-colored glass skyscraper and found he had killed himself, authorities said. He had as many as 10 guns with him, including rifles, they said.

There was no word on a motive for the attack. But a law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the still-unfolding investigation, said there was no immediate indication it was connected to international terrorism.

In the Mideast, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack and said the gunman was "a soldier" who had converted to Islam months ago. But it provided no evidence.

Country music star Jason Aldean was performing Sunday night at the end of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival in front of a crowd of more than 22,000 when the gunman opened fire from inside the 44-floor Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across the street.

The gunman was identified as Stephen Craig Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada. He had checked into the hotel room on Thursday, authorities said. Police said he was a retiree with no criminal record in the Nevada county where he lived.

Paddock's brother, Eric Paddock, who lives in Florida, told the Orlando Sentinel: "We are completely dumbfounded. We can't understand what happened."

In an address to the country, President Donald Trump called the attack "an act of pure evil" and added: "In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one. And it always has." He ordered flags flown at half-staff.

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said authorities believe it was a "lone wolf" attack. And the U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no "specific credible threat" involving other public venues in the U.S.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions offered the support of the FBI and other federal agencies but noted that the investigation is being led by the sheriff in Las Vegas. That was seen as another possible sign the shooting was not believed to be an act of international terrorism.

Las Vegas authorities put out a call for blood donations and set up a hotline to report missing people and speed the identification of the dead and wounded. They also opened a "family reunification center" for people to find loved ones.

Aldean was in the middle of a song when the shots came rapidly: pop-pop-pop-pop. Video showed Aldean stopping and the crowd getting quiet as if it were unsure of what had happened.

The gunman paused and then fired another volley, the muzzle flashes visible from the casino, as victims fell to the ground while others fled in panic. Some hid behind concession stands, while others crawled under parked cars.

Kodiak Yazzie, 36, said the music stopped temporarily when the first shots began and then started up again before the second round of pops sent the performers ducking for cover and fleeing the stage.

"It was the craziest stuff I've ever seen in my entire life," Yazzie said. "You could hear that the noise was coming from west of us, from Mandalay Bay. You could see a flash, flash, flash, flash."

Monique Dumas, of British Columbia, Canada, said she was at the concert, six rows from the stage, when she thought she heard a bottle breaking, then a burst of pops that sounded liked fireworks.

Couples held hands as they ran through the dirt lot. Faces were etched with shock and confusion, and people wept and screamed. Some were bloodied, and some were carried out by fellow concertgoers. Dozens of ambulances took away the wounded, while some people loaded victims into their cars and drove them to the hospital.

Police shut down busy Las Vegas Boulevard, and federal and state authorities converged on the scene. Interstate 15 was briefly closed, and flights at McCarran International Airport were suspended.

Hospital emergency rooms were jammed with the wounded. Rep. Ruben Kihuen, a Democrat whose congressional district includes a portion of Las Vegas, visited a hospital were some of the victims were taken and said: "Literally, every single bed was being used, every single hallway was being used. Every single person there was trying to save a life."

The dead included at least three off-duty police officers from various departments who were attending the concert, authorities said. Two on-duty officers were wounded, one critically, police said.

"It's a devastating time," the sheriff said.

Nearly every inch of the Las Vegas Strip is under video surveillance, much of it set up by the casinos to monitor their properties. That could yield a wealth of material for investigators as they try to piece together the attack.

Hours after the shooting, Aldean posted on Instagram that he and his crew were safe and that the shooting was "beyond horrific."

"It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night," the country star said.

Before Sunday, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history took place in June 2016, when a gunman who professed support for Muslim extremist groups opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people.

Sunday's shooting came more than four months after a suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, that killed 22 people. Almost 90 people were killed by gunmen inspired by Islamic State at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris during a performance by Eagles of Death Metal in 2015.

President Trump extended "condolences" early Monday to the victims of the "terrible" mass shooting on the Las Vegas strip, in his first public reaction to the tragedy.

"My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!" Trump tweeted.

With at least 50 people dead and more than 200 injured, the attack is now considered the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

"The President has been briefed on the horrific tragedy in Las Vegas," a White House official told Fox News early Monday. "We are monitoring the situation closely and offer our full support to state and local officials. All of those affected are in our thoughts and prayers."

The suspect, who was killed, was identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, a local resident. Authorities also said they were "confident" Paddock's roommate, Marilou Danley, had been located. Officials previously described Danley as a person of interest.

Authorities said one on-duty officer was in critical condition and another was wounded in the shooting. Two off-duty police officers attending the concert were killed.

"This was obviously well-planned, they waited for a major, open air event, and obtained a room facing it," retired FBI special agent and former national FBI spokesman John Iannarelli, who drove past the scene of the event just moments before the shooting took place, told Fox News. "I can see the flashing blue police lights from my hotel window."

"They were well-trained," Iannarelli said, noting the use of automatic weapons. "That's not an easy task."

Iannarelli also said "it is too early to tell" what the motive was. "Is this a lone wolf inspired by others? This is exactly the type of attack the U.S. has been fearing would come to our shores."

Officials did not immediately reveal a motive.

Story highlights

Witness: Concertgoers risked their lives to try to hold other people's wounds closed

Gunman's brother: "We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck."

Stephen Paddock, who sent bullets and terror down on thousands attending a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, had an arsenal in his 32nd-floor hotel room and at his home 80 miles away, officials said.

Police recovered 23 guns from his Las Vegas hotel room and another 19 guns from Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada, Clark County Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said.

Authorities said Paddock killed 59 people and injured another 527 early Monday in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

In the hours after the retired accountant committed the shooting, authorities rolled out frightening new details, including the discovery of scopes on rifles at the resort and explosives at his home.

But what they couldn't explain is why the man who had never faced any notable criminal charges did it. There was no known motive late Monday.

Even Paddock's brother had no answers.

"We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck," Eric Paddock said in Orlando, Florida.

Latest developments

- A team of six officers spoke with security at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Paddock was staying, and searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before they found Paddock's room, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

- Paddock, 64, fired at the officers through the door, Lombardo said. A SWAT team broke down the door, but Paddock had already killed himself, Lombardo said.

- Authorities recovered 23 guns from Paddock's room, said Clark County NV Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo. Lombardo said several of the rifles had scopes on them.

- Another 19 firearms, along with explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition in Paddock's Mesquite, Nevada, home. The gunman apparently had smashed out two windows to increase his range of targets.

- The sheriff said a SWAT team was standing by at a house in northern Nevada. A law enforcement official confirmed the FBI is present in Reno.

Two young women pleaded not guilty in a Malaysian court Monday morning charged with the murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In one of the most audacious assassinations of the 21st century, Kim was poisoned with VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on his way back to his home in the Chinese territory of Macau.

Security footage showed the two women, Indonesian Siti Aisyah, and Vietnamese citizen Doan Thi Huong, walking up behind Kim and rubbing their hands on his face.

Malaysian authorities claim the pair were trained by North Korean agents to swab Kim's face with the nerve agent.

But representatives of Huong and Aisyah said the two women were duped into thinking that they were participating in a prank TV show.

The two women arrived at court Monday wearing bullet proof vests with their eyes downcast, surrounded by a heavy police presence.
