The girlfriend of the Las Vegas gunman who shot dead 58 people on Sunday has said she had no idea what her "kind, caring, quiet" partner was planning.
Marilou Danley's comments came hours before police suggested Stephen Paddock had been living "a secret life".
They said he may have been planning to escape instead of shooting himself dead, but did not give further details.
It is not yet known why he opened fire on an open air concert, committing the worst shooting in modern US history.
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said in a press conference on Wednesday:
- Police had found more explosives in Paddock's car at the hotel, along with about 1,600 rounds of ammunition
- Paddock had been gambling just hours before he began shooting
- He had booked into the Ogden Hotel overlooking a different open air festival in Las Vegas a week earlier
But he said Paddock's motivations and whether there were any possible accomplices remained a mystery. The FBI has said so far no link to terrorism had been found.
"We don't understand it yet," Sheriff Lombardo told reporters.
Ms Danley, who spoke to the FBI on Wednesday after travelling back voluntarily from a holiday in the Philippines, expressed shock at the "horrible unspeakable acts of violence" Paddock had committed.
