More than 48 hours after the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, police still don’t have a motive for the horrific crime. But a more complete profile of the killer is beginning to emerge. Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter who killed 59 people at a country music festival Sunday night, worked over a 10-year period as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, an IRS agent and an auditor for the U.S. Department of Defense. A spokeswoman for the federal Office of Personnel Management told the

Associated Press Tuesday that Paddock’s employment included two years as a mail carrier from 1976 to 1978. That was followed by a six-year stint with the Internal Revenue Service until 1984.
