Vegas Docs Reveal Stephen Paddock Told Uber Driver About A "Terrorist Attack For Mandalay Bay"
Las Vegas shooting crime scene
A witness statement that is part of a batch of newly released police documents concerning the Las Vegas shooting reveals that in the days before the Las Vegas shooting, Stephen Paddock and a woman were picked up by an Uber driver who said Paddock “commented on the Mandalay Bay Area for a terrorist attack” as he was being dropped off at the Mandalay Bay.
The witness statement is one of many previously unspoken statements that were released nearly one week ago after a judge ordered them to be released.

Vladimir Putin has held his 16th annual Direct Line Q&A on June 7th, 2018. The entire conference was 4.5 hours long and this year has included all regional governors and heads of Ministries to be available live via video conference. As it’s quite difficult to condense 4 odd hours of filming, I have picked mostly segments that relate to foreign policy and those that may be interesting to the foreign viewer. Questions are collated via phone call centres a number of days in advance, social media as well as live calls. Most of them are grouped into themes and are answered at a later date, unless they make it to the live show. In this segment, Putin answers questions on the topics of international security, human rights in the EU, sanctions, anti-Russian rhetoric and the implications of financial manipulation. For those of you looking specifically for the views on the dollar system, it begins around 20:40.
President Donald J. Trump travels to Quebec, Canada, to participate in the 44th G-7 Summit with American allies.
A raw, unfiltered look at the 'Crisis Next Door'
"I thought I had it under control. I didn't know it would be this addictive," Kyle said. "I didn't know how far I'd go to get more."
Kyle is a young man from Dallas, Texas. His story is one of four videos unveiled yesterday by the Trump Administration as part of a joint public awareness campaign on opioid addiction. The ads were produced in partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Ad Council, and the Truth Initiative. The goal is to show young adults how destructive an opioid addiction can become.
Each video features a true story of different young adults that go to extreme measures to get access to a prescription. Highly addictive drugs can have this effect, particularly on young people. According to the Truth Initiative, an opioid addiction can take hold in as little as five days.
These ads will be the first of many from the White House. "There are many, many facets to the opioid crisis, all requiring varied and unique solutions," said Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, who is leading the White House opioids effort.
