And, tributes to the american rock star tom petty, whos died at the age of 66. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. Police in las vegas are still trying to work out what drove a retired accountant to carry out the worst mass shooting in modern American History. Overnight vigils have been held for the 59 people who were killed and more than 500 who were injured when the 64 year old gunman fired on them with an automatic weapon from a hotel window. Police have now established that Stephen Paddock was a millionaire, a former accountant, who had a large arsenal of guns and ammunition.
