Q: Stephen Paddock  fired hundreds of rounds out of a 32nd story window in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sunday night  police have said  killing 59 and injuring over 500 in the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history.
 Paddock  had no military training. According to Paddockâs family and the ongoing police investigation   he  had a penchant for guns and some experience hunting. But there is no indication  he  had formal training.
Nevertheless   he  managed to kill dozens and wound hundreds from 32 stories above the ground and a distance of three to five football fields between  him  and  his  victims.
The reason  he  was able to carry out the massacre lies largely with the tools at  his  disposal and the completely helpless nature of  his  targets.
Some of the weapons had scopes to increase  his  effective range. The length of the bursts of fire suggest  Paddock  likely used extended magazines to store many times a firearmâs normal capacity in ammunition.
All of Paddockâs guns legally belonged to him. Nevada  where  Paddock  lived  allows the sale of high-capacity magazines  high-caliber weapons and ammunition  and military-style weapons  but it doesnât allow fully automatic weapons.
 Paddock  got around the limitation of government-mandated semi-automatic weapons by using something called a âbump stock â which effectively turns a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic  according to The Associated Press.
From 300 to 500 yards away  the crowd of 22 000 were essentially âfish in the barrel â which is how country singer Jake Owens  who was on stage in Las Vegas  described that night. It wouldnât take a military operative or master marksman to inflict grievous damage on a crowd with the tools  Paddock  had available.
 Paddock  simply rained down bullets on an unsuspecting crowd that was focused on the stage. Because bullets from high-powered rifles travel at supersonic speeds  the first shots probably hit the victims before the sound of the rifle even rang out.

Q: Benjamin McDowell   30  pleaded guilty Monday to being a felon in possession of a weapon  according to reports by multiple news outlets.  He  also could be fined $250 000 when  he âs sentenced at a later date.
Authorities first began investigating  McDowell  in December 2016 when  he  threatened a Myrtle Beach synagogue on Facebook. Local officials were already keeping tabs on  him  because  he  made friends with white supremacists groups and got tattoos associated with racist groups while in prison on a felony burglary charge  according to the FBI.
 McDowell  then said  he  wanted a gun and told an undercover FBI agent who offered to get  him  one that  he  planned to attack somewhere in the name of white power and write on the building âin the spirit of Dylann Roof â according to court records. Roof was sentenced to death last year for a racist shooting that killed nine black worshippers at a Charleston  South Carolina  church.
âI seen what Dylann Roof did and in my heart I reckon I got a little bit of hatred â the undercover agent recalled  McDowell  saying.
 McDowell   who couldnât legally own a gun because of the burglary conviction  was arrested after the purchase. Agents said  McDowell  bought the gun â which had the firing pin shaved down so that it would not work â and ammunition for $109  which  he  had borrowed from  his  grandfather.

Q: Mark Hurd is facing more fallout from his ouster five months ago as CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co.  the world's biggest personal computer and printer maker.
 The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the circumstances of Hurd's forced resignation in August  a surprising exit that triggered an immediate $9 billion drop in HP's market value and involved allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate sharing of inside information.
 Hurd's five-year reign at HP  which was hailed by Wall Street but reviled by many HP employees because of deep job and cost cuts  came to an abrupt end after a former HP marketing contractor  Jodie Fisher  accused him of sexual harassment.
 HP's board said it didn't find evidence to support the harassment claim  but did find inaccuracies in Hurd's expense reports for his outings with Fisher  who helped organize and host HP networking events that Hurd attended.
 The Journal  citing anonymous sources  reported that the SEC's investigation is looking at the expense reports  as well as another of Fisher's allegations -- that Hurd told her in advance about HP's $13.9 billion acquisition of Electronic Data Systems in 2008 -- and the possibility that Hurd destroyed computer evidence related to the case.
 Hurd has argued that he didn't prepare his own expense reports  and that the omission of Fisher's name from some reports wasn't intentional.
 Fisher later appeared to recant her claim that Hurd disclosed sensitive information  saying in a letter when she and Hurd settled their case that there were "many inaccuracies" in her original story. Fisher received an undisclosed amount as part of the settlement.
she and Hurd settled their case that there were "many inaccuracies" in her original story. Fisher received an undisclosed amount as part of the settlement.
 On Monday a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that the computer issue involved information the SEC requested concerning an HP computer that Hurd kept at home and had digitally cleaned before returning it to the company. This person said the cleaning was done to protect the privacy of Hurd's family  which used the computer for things such as photos and music. The person requested anonymity because of not being authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
 One aspect of Hurd's ouster that angered many critics was the size of his severance package.
 Hurd got a $12.2 million cash payout and  soon after his exit  exercised options on some $30 million worth of HP stock  and filed papers to sell the stock.
 His payday from HP would have been even higher had he not agreed to give back restricted stock worth about $14 million as part of a settlement with HP to allow him to work at Oracle Corp.  an HP rival run by Hurd's friend Larry Ellison.
 to work at Oracle Corp.  an HP rival run by Hurd's friend Larry Ellison.
 HP's market value  which stood at around $108 billion before Hurd's exit  dropped about $9 billion in the stocks' first day of trading after the Aug. 6 resignation. The stock fell further as the wait for a replacement dragged on.
 Hurd's replacement  Leo Apotheker  the former CEO of business software maker SAP AG  pleased many HP employees by rescinding pay cuts imposed under Hurd  and appears to have calmed investors' nerves by promising to focus on software and research to help close gaps with archrival IBM Corp.
