The statement that Paddock's home burned down appears false. See news report below:

Las Vegas Strip gunman Stephen Paddock’s house in Mesquite has been sold.

"District Judge Gloria Sturman on Thursday approved the sale of the home, some 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, for $425,000 to Daniel Jones and Bernadette Jones, court records show."

"Terms call for the purchase to close within 10 days of court approval. The house, at 1372 Babbling Brook Court in the 55-and-over Sun City Mesquite community, was sold through Paddock’s probate case. Proceeds are slated to go to victims of the Oct. 1, 2017 massacre."

AND

A judge has ruled that two Nevada homes owned by the gunman behind an October mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip can be sold, allowing the families of those killed to receive the proceeds.

"The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports a judge Thursday cleared the way for Stephen Paddock's $367,000 home in Mesquite and $391,500 home in Reno to be listed."

"Paddock left no will. His mother in March waived her interest in his estate and directed the assets to be distributed to the victims. Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds of others."
