The shooter in Sunday night’s mass slaughter of 58 concert goers in Las Vegas, identified as 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock, a man with no criminal history, is now being investigated for ties to Islam. There were 515 people reported injured in what was described by Sheriff Joseph Lombardo as a well-coordinated attack. ISIS claimed credit in an Arabic-language website, but authorities said they had no evidence to support the claim. “We will investigate that down to the end,” but thus far nothing has been
