On 1 October 2017, the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas became the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Over 1,000 rounds were fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. 58 lives were lost. Hundreds more were injured.
But what led Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old retired millionaire, to carry out one of the most devastating attacks on American soil — without warning, without known motive, and without leaving behind answers?
In this episode, Tom, Ben and Dan examine the facts of the case, from Paddock’s background and preparation, to the chaotic timeline of the attack, the unanswered questions, and the legacy it left behind.
