Daily Mail: PICTURED: The lone Las Vegas gunman, 64, who murdered 58 and injured 515 concert-goers with an automatic rifle from his suite on 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay in America's deadliest mass shooting - before committing suicide
* WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
* Some 58 people were killed and 515 injured in a shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada
* The shooter has been identified as multimillionaire gambling addict Stephen Paddock, 64
* He opened fire from a 32nd floor room of the Mandalay Bay Resort casino and hotel after 10pm Sunday night
* Police say they breached Paddock's room and found him dead inside alongside an 'arsenal' of weapons
* It took an hour and 12 minutes from the first 911 call to the moment police burst into Paddock's room
* Cops located his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, for questioning, but don't believe she's involved in the shooting
* A law enforcement source told the Wall Street Journal that they found 18-20 weapons in the room
* Among the weapons found by cops after they blew open his door was at least one fully automatic rifle
* Paddock made his money in real estate and would often come to Las Vegas to gamble, his brother Eric said
* NBC reports that he gambled $20,000 to $30,000 on several occasions in the past few weeks
* It's the deadliest shooting in U.S. history - eclipsing last year's massacre at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida
