Weapons found in Reno house owned by massacre suspect

Las Vegas Police say a search of a Reno home owned by Las Vegas massacre suspect Stephen Paddock has yielded several weapons.

At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Investigators said they found five handguns, two shotguns and a "plethora of ammunition" and electronics. The house is being treated as a potential crime scene.

At least some of the guns found on Paddock's properties had been bought at the Cabela's store in Verdi.

Federal investigators made their way without incident into the house on Del Webb Parkway Monday evening, looking for clues that might help law enforcement with the case in Las Vegas

The home in Somersett was purchased by Paddock in 2013. Neighbors say he and friend Marylou Danley kept to themselves and didn't talk to a lot of people.

Neighbors say Paddock stayed at the house, at best, six months out of the year, and didn't disclose anything about his private life. The former next-door neighbor says it took awhile before she found out anything about the couple.

Dee McKay says, "When she came back I saw her talking to a neighbor. I asked them what does her husband do. They said he was a professional gambler. So then I was trying to figure it out."

Monday afternoon, local law enforcement arrived to assist federal agents in securing the scene. At Paddock's home in Mesquite, police were wondering of the home was wired or booby trapped; they were taking no chances in Reno, either.

Federal investigators expect be at the house for some time.
