Guns belonging to Las Vegas massacre shooter destroyed, property sold with proceeds to be divided among victims’ families

The estate of Stephen Paddock, the gambler who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, has been sold off by court order and the proceeds will be evenly divided among the loved ones of the victims he killed in Las Vegas in 2017, an attorney for the victims said.

From his hotel room overlooking the Route 91 Harvest Festival, Paddock opened fire, killing dozens of innocent victims and wounding hundreds more.

“This is absolute relief. We wanted to ensure that the families received small token of reparation from Paddock,” Las Vegas attorney Alice Denton told CNN of the final order being granted in court on Thursday, bringing to a close the six-year process of settling debts and selling assets.

The FBI is warning people to not use public phone charging stations, which have become increasingly popular in places like airports and shopping malls.

The problem is that hackers have found a way to introduce malware and other software onto devices through the public stations, the FBI said.

“Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers,” the FBI’s Denver Twitter account said. “Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead.”

Great news travels fast...

I'm so glad President Carter lived long enough to see this:

As for me: when tfg beat out Hillary, and I heard my MAGA neighbor yell out, "Yeah!"; and I looked up presidents of the US on Wikipedia and saw tfg's clown ass face...that night—and for the next few months—I felt like I was living in a Twilight Zone episode.

This morning, I feel like I'm dreaming a great dream. How long did we talk about the day that he would be arrested? Did we really believe it would ever happen? I began to think not.

He's still not "guilty" according to our system, but this is an amazing step in the right direction.
