The search of Paddock’s house in Mesquite, Nev., comes after authorities interviewed Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley.
Mesquite Police Chief Troy Tanner told ABC News that the FBI had requested help from local authorities in executing the latest search warrant.
Paddock killed at least 58 people and wounded more than 500 others after he opened fire on an outdoor country music festival in Las Vegas from the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
Police reportedly found a note in Paddock’s hotel room outlining calculations regarding distance and trajectory possibly meant to maximize his aim.
The massacre has led to renewed calls on Capitol Hill for more gun control. The White House said last week it would consider legislation banning “bump stocks,” an accessory used by the gunman to increase his rate of fire.
