Matt, not youre learning, there might be someone else authorities want to talk to . Reporter thats right, david. Investigators say that paddock was seen with a mystery woman in his last days. Now, she was not his girlfriend. Theyre trying to find out who she is and what she knows. Also, given the arsenal that he amassed, along with explosive materials and the fact that he may have had an escape plan, theyre now saying that they cannot rule out that he had an accomplice.

Paying cash, with this check for 14,411, not a sign of someone with financial problems. Employees here today told us the fbi questioned them about exactly w457d with paddock and his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, when they came to buy the car. She wanted to get a lexus, but he was like, im not going to spend 10,000 more for a car thats got the exact same equipment. Reporter and when danley went on a test drive, she told the female salesperson that paddock had saved her from a bad troubled marriage. She said she had a bad relationship prior to him. And how he had, you know, turned her life around. Really helped her out. Reporter danleys relationship with paddock has now become a key focus of the investigation. On wednesday, she told fbi agents paddock was a caring man who showed no sign of violence. And the fbi also wanted to know about the more than 100,000 that paddock wired to the philippines for danley, before sending her there just two weeks in advance of the shooting. Her lawyer read her statement. I was grateful, but honestly, i was worried that first, the unexpected trip home and then the money was a way of breaking up with me. Reporter four days into the investigation, the fbi says it has ruled out money problems and ruled out any connection to anarchist groups, to antigovernment groups, to oversea terror 2k3wr0u7s. And brian ross with us live tonight. Four days later, still no motive. As you began to point out right there, you have learned tonight what they have begun to rule out. Reporter thats right. And theyre certain they will find out a motive sooner or later. One thing, brian, so many people are asking about is this belief he didnt snap in the moment, because theres so many signs now he had been preparing this for some time. Reporter exactly. This was wellplanned. Two dozen weapons in his hotel suite, half of them concerted to be fully automatic, as well as the cameras, including the one in that room service cart outside his room, placed to give him Early Warning about anyone coming to stop him, david.

Democrats, some republicans and a signal today from the nra on this . Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega. Reporter from the nations most powerful gun lobby, today, a call for change in the wake of the nations deadliest mass shooting. Found on a dozen of the las vegas shooters weapons, those bump stock attachments that allow a rifle to fire like a machine gun. The nra now says, devices to designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. And tonight, a growing number of Top Republicans say they would consider legislation banning bump stocks altogether. If this is a modification to a firearm that breaches the spirit of the law against automatic weapons, then i think there would be bipartisan support to deal with it. Clearly, thats something we need to look into. Reporter one Florida Republican congressman even vowing to introduce his own bill with a bump stock, assault rifles can fire hundreds of rounds per minute, changing a gun from this to this. But not all republicans are onboard with tougher laws. I dont think the 80 or 90 million americans who exercise their Second Amendment rights to own a gun should be punished for the act of one evil person.
