Las Vegas Shooting - Best of Coast to Coast AM - 10/1/26
Summary
Donna Kaufman and George Noory analyze the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, arguing that Stephen Paddock’s actions may have targeted CIA "Janet" fuel tanks at McCarran Airport. They detail his rapid financial decline from gambling, his abusive relationship with his girlfriend, and the forensic findings that left investigators unable to determine a definitive motive. The discussion also touches on the Nova festival in Israel and a young boy’s experience with anaphylaxis.
