Trump 'disappointed' FBI can't find motive in Vegas shooting
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is “disappointed” the FBI couldn’t figure out what specifically motivated a gunman to carry out the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.
Trump’s comments Wednesday to The Daily Caller came a day after the FBI released its final report on the 2017 Las Vegas shooting that left 58 people dead.
After 16 months, the FBI couldn’t find any “single or clear motivating factor” to explain why gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd at a country music concert. They suspect he may have been seeking infamy.
Nearly 900 people were injured in the shooting.
Trump said FBI agents worked very hard on the case but “just were unable to find anything.”
He said he was surprised the agency released a report less than three pages long .
