REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas this week was terrorism" href="http://en.republika.co.id/berita/en/international/17/10/06/oxd5l2414-las-vegas-gunman-stockpiles-weapons-over-decades" target="_blank">There was no evidence at this point to indicate that the mass shooting in Las Vegas this week was terrorism, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent told a news conference on Wednesday.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse also said federal authorities have questioned the girlfriend of the gunman and no one has been taken into custody as a suspected accomplice.

Stephen Paddock's girlfriend, Marilou Danley, was questioned by the FBI on Wednesday and said in a statement she was unaware of the Paddock's plans.

"He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen," Danley, 62, said in a statement released by her lawyer Matt Lombard.

Danley returned late on Tuesday from a family visit to the Philippines. She is regarded by investigators as a "person of interest". Lombard said his client was cooperating fully with authorities.

A Federal Bureau of Investigation official in Las Vegas, meanwhile, said no one has been taken into custody.
