An Australian friend of Las Vegas mass murderer Stephen Paddock described the killer as passionately devoted to U.S. gun rights, but otherwise methodical, extremely intelligent and a strategic thinker, said The Guardian on Wednesday.
The man who asked to remain anonymous dated the sister of Paddocks partner Marilou Danley, who has been declared a person of interest in the investigation of Sundays shooting, which killed 59 people and injured hundreds more.
Yes, I was familiar with him, said the man, speaking from his Brisbane home on Wednesday. He was extremely intelligent, methodical, conservative guarded and strategic. A planning, thinking type of guy.
The two men met on a half dozen occasions between 2013 and 2015. Paddock was a high-rolling gambler who lived a lavish lifestyle in the world of casinos, playing poker machines according to an algorithm of his own creation.
