Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock may have considered Fenway Park and other Boston-area locations before killing at least 58 people and wounding hundreds more in a mass shooting.
NBC News and the Boston Globe report that government officials said that Paddock had been googling Fenway Park and the Boston Center for the Arts, based on their investigation. Earlier in the summer, Paddock booked hotel rooms overlooking other festivals in Las Vegas and Chicago. His intentions are still being determined in those cases.
“We are aware of the media reports referencing a Boston connection to the Las Vegas mass shooting incident that occurred on Sunday, October 1, 2017,” the Boston police said in a statement Thursday.
