Marilou Danley, the live-in girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, said on Wednesday she had no idea he was planning Sunday night's massacre.
"He never said anything to me, or took any action I was aware of, that I ever understood to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen," Danley said in a statement read by her attorney Matthew Lombard. "I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him." Danley arrived in Los Angeles Tuesday night after a trip to the Philippines, where she was visiting family, and is being interviewed by federal investigators.
