The girlfriend of the gunman at the Las Vegas, Marilou Danley, shock

News24xx.com -  The girlfriend of the gunman behind the Las Vegas shooting that killing 58 people and injuring hundreds more, said in a statement that she was not aware that something horrible like this was going to happen.

Matthew Lombard, the attorney representing of Marilou Danley, read a statement Wednesday from her.

"I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone," Danley's statement said.

Paddock opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sunday night. He is then believed to have taken his own life.

 

More than two weeks ago, Paddock told Danley that he had found a cheap ticket to the Philippines and suggested that she take a trip home to see her family. She hadn't been to the Philippines since 2014, when she was going through marital problems with her former husband.

 

While she was there, Paddock send her money so she could buy a house for herself and her family. Paddock sent tens of thousands of dollars overseas before the shooting.

Danley arrived back in the U.S. from her native country -- the Philippines -- Tuesday night. She was abroad when Paddock carried out his deadly attack.

More than 22,000 were attending the final night of the Route 91 Harvest Festival on the Las Vegas Strip -- across the street from Mandalay Bay -- when the assault began.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but police have said it was obviously premeditated. A total of 47 firearms have been recovered from three different locations associated with Paddock: the Mandalay Bay hotel room, his home in Mesquite, Nevada, and another home in northern Nevada near Reno.
