Vegas killer’s guns funded by property

THE Las Vegas shooter used lucrative real estate investments to fund tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of rifles and bullets.

Stephen Paddock bought an apartment in a 111-unit complex in Mesquite, Nevada, for $8.4million (€7m).

He raised the funds from selling smaller properties in Los Angeles.

When he sold the Nevada apartment a decade later, he likely made millions in profits, according to financial records.

This enabled him to collect a haul of weapons before his gun attack in Las Vegas last Sunday in which 58 people died.
