Las Vegas police revealed more details from the deadly shooting on Sunday night. According to the police, the shooter fired shots for between 9 to 11 minutes.

As the day progressed, more details were given to the public about the gunman, Stephen Paddock.

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the media that Paddock had cameras set up inside and outside of his hotel room on the 32nd floor.

One of those cameras was said to be hidden on a food cart outside of his hotel room.

Lombardo theorizes the cameras were in place to tip the shooter off when the police came.

Paddock died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound before police arrived. During his attack, he murdered 59 people and wounded more than 500. Officials say that at least 50 victims are still in critical condition.

Paddock's motive for the shooting is still not clear.

Authorities also upped the total number of firearms belonging to the shooter to 49.

Of those 49 weapons, 23 were obtained at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino where the attack was executed. Upon searching Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada, 19 more were found. He also owned property in Reno, Nevada, where five handguns and two shotguns were located.
