The gunman who killed 58 people and injured hundreds more at a Las Vegas concert had rented another room in the city on the weekend of an alternative music festival, investigators said.

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters that Stephen Paddock rented a room through Airbnb at the Ogden hotel in downtown Las Vegas but didn’t know why.

He said investigators have recovered items and video from the hotel, which was rented over the weekend of 22 to 24 September.

Sheriff Lombardo made the revelation at a news conference where he provided a detailed timeline of events.

Calling Paddock “disturbed and dangerous”, he added that the number of injured was now confirmed at 489 people, although many had been released from the city’s hospitals.

His comments came shortly after Paddock’s girlfriend said that she had no idea he was planning an attack on the Strip and was devastated for the victims.
