This is a roundup of breaking news from around the Las Vegas valley for October 4 and the latest updates on the mass shooting.
6:00 P.M.
In a recent press conference, Las Vegas police released a specific timeline of the response to Sunday's mass shooting:
- 10:05 p.m. - First shots fired by Stephen Paddock
- 10:12 p.m. - Officers arrive at the 31st floor of Mandalay Bay. They report hearing gunshots on the floor above them
- 10:15 p.m. - Paddock stops firing
- 10:17 p.m. - Officers arrive at the 32nd floor
- 10:18 p.m. - Paddock shoots a Mandalay Bay security guard through the door of his hotel room
- 10:26 p.m.-10:30 p.m. - Officers systematically begin clearing the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay, evacuating guests as necessary
- 10:55 p.m. - SWAT and K9 officers arrive in the staircase of the Mandalay Bay
- 11:20 p.m. - Officers breach the doorway to the suspect's room, finding Paddock dead and another door shut.
- 11:27 p.m. - Officers breach the 2nd door that was shut. No one was found inside
Sheriff Joe Lombardo explained that it took a while to breach the room because they were going into every single room to evacuate the floor, and there are a lot of rooms at Mandalay Bay.
He also said that officers spotted a hidden camera on a room service cart in the hallway, which was placed there by Paddock, and had to pull back. No shots were heard by the suspect after 10:15 p.m., so they took time to formulate another plan and breach the door.

3:30 P.M.
Attorney Matthew Lombard, who is representing Marilou Danley, the girlfriend of Stephen Paddock, said his client is cooperating fully with federal and local agencies in their investigation.
In a statement read by Lombard, Danley said she was "devastated" to learn of Sunday's events and that she grieves for those families affected.
"He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen," Danley's statement read in part. READ MORE.

12:40 P.M.
According to ABC News, an official familiar with Marilou Danley's travels says that the FBI engaged in a highly-choreographed scheme to get Danley back in the country, ensure her comfort and keep her from being surrounded by the media.
FBI had at least one decoy vehicle at Los Angeles Airport when Danley landed. She was escorted quickly through Customs and then spirited out a secure rear entrance of the airport. Investigators from Las Vegas are in Los Angeles to participate in interviewing Danley. But, there are no plans to bring her to Nevada at this time. She is being treated as a "witness."

Officials still have no clear indication of what transpired in Paddock’s life to lead to the massacre so they remain hopeful that Danley will fill in the missing parts of the story.
