Las Vegas gunman shot at SWAT team through hotel room door

The Las Vegas shooter spent his last minutes desperately firing through the doorway of his hotel room while a SWAT team stormed into the suite.

Stephen Paddock shot one security guard and fired on a SWAT team of six who searched the hotel floor by floor Sunday night before zeroing in on their target.

“We believe the individual killed himself prior to our entry,” Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.

“A SWAT team broke down the door to the hotel room. ”

Paddock had killed 59 and injured more than 500 others when he opened fire on people enjoying a music concert across from the hotel.

Police did not have a motive for the shooting.
