Quote:Stephen Paddock scouted possible attack locations in Chicago and Boston before settling on Las Vegas to launch the deadliest mass killing in US history, according to reports.

His potential targets included the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, where he booked two hotel rooms at a 21-story hotel with a sweeping view of Grant Park, TMZ first reported.

Paddock also had Googled Fenway Park and the Boston Center for the Arts, and also conducted online searches for large concert venues in the Boston area, sources told the Boston Globe.

Quote:An image posted online by TMZ shows a guest listed as Paddock/Stephen booking a room at The Blackstone Hotel for Aug. 1 and a second room on Aug. 3 — the day the Lollapalooza started. Both rooms had a checkout date of Aug. 6, when the festival ended.

Paddock specifically requested both rooms to have a view of Grant Park, where about 400,000 fans gathered for the event about 500 yards away.

Among the attendees was Malia Obama, 19, the eldest daughter of the former president and Michelle Obama.

A law enforcement official told the Globe that no evidence has been found that Paddock ever came to Chicago that weekend.

I further suspect he had help. It would not have been easy getting that arsenal to Chicago or Boston. Putting it on a plane would have been out of the question. Driving it that far would have been risky and plans could have been ruined over something as simple as a burned out tail light or someone breaking into his car in a motel parking lot along the way.
