ISIS claims Las Vegas concert gunman was one of its 'soldiers'; FBI denies report

The FBI denied a report that the man responsible for the Las Vegas massacre Sunday night may have been motivated by the middle-eastern terror group ISIS.

The group Site Intel Group had posted to social media that ISIS spokesman Amaq has claimed that Stephen Craig Paddock was one of its “soldiers” who converted to Islam months ago.


We have determined to this point no connection with an international terrorist group,” an FBI official told reporters according to NY Daily News.
Paddock is believed to be responsible for firing an automatic weapon from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel into a country music concert crowd, killing 50 people and wounding more than 200.

Las Vegas police stormed the hotel, but Paddock shot himself to death.
