Note shows shooter’s death math

A NOTE found in Stephen Paddock’s Las Vegas hotel room contained handwritten calculations on the exact angle to fire to kill as many people as possible.

The note was found on the mass shooter’s nightstand after officers stormed the room following the attack from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, according to CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

“I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was gonna be for the crowd,” said Officer Dave Newton of the Las Vegas Police Department’s K-9 unit.

“So he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there.”

The chilling details of the note emerged as the family of one of the 58 people slaughtered at the Sin City country music festival filed a court petition to freeze the shooter’s assets.

Attorneys for the son of John Phippen, a 56-yearold father of six from California, filed the legal document Friday in District Court in Clark County.

Phippen was killed when Paddock rained down bullets into the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival from his suite overlooking the concert.

Investigators are still trying to piece together what drove the wealthy highstakes gambler who owned two planes and homes in four states to amass an arsenal of weapons and carry out the deadliest shooting in modern American history.

Country music star Jason Aldean, who was onstage while the bullets started flying, made his first public appearance since the massacre by opening “Saturday Night Live.”

The 40-year-old crooner then belted out Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” as a tribute to the rocker, who died Monday.
