He spent about two weeks at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center before being transferred to a rehab center for people with spinal cord injuries. Fowler’s mom, Patricia, was also at the festival and said she fears how expensive his medical care may be. But she said, “Whatever expenses come down the road, we’ll handle it somehow.” ",

And lastly, [centralpark1@live.com sent an email to centralpark4804@gmail.com that read, 'for a thrill try out bumpfire ar's with a 100 round magazine.' Investigators believe these communications may have been related to the eventual attack that occurred at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The exchanges took place nearly three months before the onslaught. And CNN reports that \"investigators at the time of the filing had been unable to determine if Paddock was sending emails between two accounts both belonging to himself, or was communicating with someone else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the two email addresses, the FBI requested and were granted warrants to search Paddock and Danley's Facebook and Instagram accounts. Paddock's Amazon account is also under investigation, as well as a locked phone that was found in his room at the Mandalay Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI has said repeatedly that Paddock acted alone.

"content": "\u003cp class=\"p1\">LAS VEGAS — Kurt Fowler and his wife, Trina, were celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at a country music festival when the shooting started. Fowler, 41, knew he’d been hit in the ankle and couldn’t run. He hid under the stage until the gunfire ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“I knew my foot was completely useless,” said Fowler, a firefighter from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., and a father of three. He underwent surgery, spent nearly two weeks in the hospital and still may need another operation. He also will need rehabilitation and follow-up visits with a specialist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Fowler has a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO through his job, but he said he doesn’t know how much he will have to pay out of his own pocket for the care he is receiving. In an era of higher deductibles and limited choice of in-network doctors, however, he knows he could face significant medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">His insurance card says his individual deductible is $5,000 and his coinsurance 20 percent. He said he didn’t know how much his health plan would cover for out-of-state care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“Medical expenses are astronomical these days,” Fowler said from his bed at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center here. “It’s a mountain that just doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be climbable, but we are gonna do our best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_361805\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-361805\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kurt Fowler looks at an X-ray of his ankle as he sits in a hospital bed at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center. Fowler, a firefighter from Arizona, got shot in the ankle and said he expects to be out of work for months as he recovers. \u003ccite>(Anna Gorman/Kaiser Health News)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">As hundreds of survivors struggle to recover emotionally and physically from the Oct. 1 attack, they are beginning to come to terms with the financial toll of the violence perpetrated against them. Even those who are insured could face untold costs in a city they were only visiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The total costs of medical care alone could reach into the tens of millions of dollars, said Garen Wintemute, who researches gun violence at the University of California-Davis. And that is just the beginning. Many survivors will be out of work for months, if they are able to return at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“We really don’t have a good handle on the intangible costs of something like this … the ripple effects on family and friends and neighborhoods when a large number of people have been shot,” Wintemute said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">More than 100,000 people are shot every year in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That generates about $2.8 billion per year in emergency room and inpatient charges alone, according to a recent study in \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Health Affairs\u003c/span>. The average emergency room bill for an individual gunshot victim is $5,254 and the average inpatient charge is $95,887, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The U.S. senators representing Nevada, Dean Heller and Catherine Cortez Masto, wrote a \u003cspan class=\"s1\">letter \u003c/span>to America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group, and CEO Scott Serota of Blue Cross Blue Shield requesting help with out-of-network bills, copayments and deductibles for the Las Vegas shooting victims. Many of the people who were shot had traveled from other states, including California, Iowa and Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California and some states protect consumers from such bills, but Nevada is not one of them, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms. But Corlette said most insurers allow patients to request exceptions based on the circumstances. “In this situation, I imagine most insurers are going to want to be compassionate and work something out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The victims and their families aren’t the only ones who will be affected financially by the mass shooting. Taxpayers, too, pick up much of the tab for the health care costs associated with gun violence because many patients are covered by Medicaid and Medicare, two government insurance programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">And hospitals will also be on the hook for some of the care for patients who don’t have insurance. Hospitals in Las Vegas quickly mobilized to treat the hundreds of victims who were streaming in that night, and they don’t know yet how much of the care will be reimbursed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">At Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, staff treated more than 200 patients. Sunrise plans to file insurance claims and will “be extremely sensitive to the financial status” of patients when considering their out-of-pocket portions, a spokeswoman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Valley Hospital Medical Center is encouraging patients to complete paperwork for a state program called Nevada Victims of Violent Crime, which would pay their balances. And Dignity Health’s St. Rose Dominican said it will bill insurers and accept donations but will not require payment from victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California victims can also get help with medical expenses and income loss from the \u003cspan class=\"s1\">California \u003c/span>Victim Compensation Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">In addition, a GoFundMe account started by a Clark County commissioner has raised $11 million thus far.

Fowler, 41, knew he’d been hit in the ankle and couldn’t run. He hid under the stage until the gunfire ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“I knew my foot was completely useless,” said Fowler, a firefighter from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., and a father of three. He underwent surgery, spent nearly two weeks in the hospital and still may need another operation. He also will need rehabilitation and follow-up visits with a specialist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Fowler has a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO through his job, but he said he doesn’t know how much he will have to pay out of his own pocket for the care he is receiving. In an era of higher deductibles and limited choice of in-network doctors, however, he knows he could face significant medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">His insurance card says his individual deductible is $5,000 and his coinsurance 20 percent. He said he didn’t know how much his health plan would cover for out-of-state care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“Medical expenses are astronomical these days,” Fowler said from his bed at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center here. “It’s a mountain that just doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be climbable, but we are gonna do our best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_361805\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-361805\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kurt Fowler looks at an X-ray of his ankle as he sits in a hospital bed at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center.

And that is just the beginning. Many survivors will be out of work for months, if they are able to return at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“We really don’t have a good handle on the intangible costs of something like this … the ripple effects on family and friends and neighborhoods when a large number of people have been shot,” Wintemute said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">More than 100,000 people are shot every year in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That generates about $2.8 billion per year in emergency room and inpatient charges alone, according to a recent study in \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Health Affairs\u003c/span>. The average emergency room bill for an individual gunshot victim is $5,254 and the average inpatient charge is $95,887, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The U.S. senators representing Nevada, Dean Heller and Catherine Cortez Masto, wrote a \u003cspan class=\"s1\">letter \u003c/span>to America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group, and CEO Scott Serota of Blue Cross Blue Shield requesting help with out-of-network bills, copayments and deductibles for the Las Vegas shooting victims. Many of the people who were shot had traveled from other states, including California, Iowa and Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California and some states protect consumers from such bills, but Nevada is not one of them, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms. But Corlette said most insurers allow patients to request exceptions based on the circumstances. “In this situation, I imagine most insurers are going to want to be compassionate and work something out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The victims and their families aren’t the only ones who will be affected financially by the mass shooting. Taxpayers, too, pick up much of the tab for the health care costs associated with gun violence because many patients are covered by Medicaid and Medicare, two government insurance programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">And hospitals will also be on the hook for some of the care for patients who don’t have insurance. Hospitals in Las Vegas quickly mobilized to treat the hundreds of victims who were streaming in that night, and they don’t know yet how much of the care will be reimbursed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">At Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, staff treated more than 200 patients. Sunrise plans to file insurance claims and will “be extremely sensitive to the financial status” of patients when considering their out-of-pocket portions, a spokeswoman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Valley Hospital Medical Center is encouraging patients to complete paperwork for a state program called Nevada Victims of Violent Crime, which would pay their balances. And Dignity Health’s St. Rose Dominican said it will bill insurers and accept donations but will not require payment from victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California victims can also get help with medical expenses and income loss from the \u003cspan class=\"s1\">California \u003c/span>Victim Compensation Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">In addition, a GoFundMe account started by a Clark County commissioner has raised $11 million thus far. And many survivors have individual GoFundMe accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Kurt Fowler’s GoFundMe page has raised about $39,000. Fowler said he doesn’t have disability insurance so he will rely on the funds to help cover his expenses while he is recovering and missing work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Michael Caster, 41, who lives in Indio, Calif., has a GoFundMe account that has raised about $26,000 so far.

On nobody’s radar. Nobody’s reason to think anything of any of it. And then all of a sudden he goes out and does something like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are similarly puzzled.

And someone named Stephen Paddock booked a room at a Chicago hotel overlooking Grant Park during Lollapalooza there in August, though the hotel says no one by that name actually stayed at the hotel then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two law enforcement officials tell NPR that an analysis of Paddock’s electronic devices show he researched hotels around Fenway Park and a site in downtown Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we know is Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo, and living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood,” Lombardo said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff speculated that the shooter may have had an accomplice: “You’ve got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, said she had no hints of the rampage. Her attorney, Matthew Lombard, read \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/us/statement-transcript-marilou-danley.html\">a statement\u003c/a> from Danley, which said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of, that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A little more than two weeks ago, Stephen told me he found a cheap ticket for me to the Philippines and that he wanted me to take a trip home to see my family. Like all Filipinos abroad, I was excited to go home and see family and friends. While there, he wired me money, which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. I was grateful, but honestly, I was worried that first, the unexpected trip home, and then the money, was a way of breaking up with me. It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This apparent silence, the secret life, also defies another characteristic of mass shooters, says Dr. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist at the University of California San Diego Medical School. Meloy’s research shows that some kind of grievance — big or small — can be a triggering event. The grievance can spiral into planning and preparing some kind of response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s of course the mystery in this particular case is that there doesn’t yet seem to be any grievance that’s surfaced,” says Meloy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secretive planning and preparing for the response can end up overshadowing the grievance as it becomes its own motivation. And Meloy says research shows that mass shooters often fuel their excitement by telling somebody something of their plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A number of studies have found that a majority of these individuals that carry out mass murders will communicate their intent to a third party before they do it,” he says. “There is at least one person that knows the path that this individual is on. There does not seem to be any evidence of that yet in this case, which would be an anomaly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an assessment shared by the sheriff on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything that would indicate this individual’s trigger point and that would cause him to do such harm — we haven’t understood it yet,” said Lombardo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four days after the shooter carried out his meticulous plan, investigators have learned some things about Stephen Paddock. But still not enough to make sense of his terrible crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR’s Pam Fessler and Martin Kaste and WFME’s Amy Green contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some neighbors in Nevada, Texas and Florida who have spoken with reporters simply say Paddock and his girlfriend kept to themselves, and didn’t do anything alarming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was very trusting to complete strangers,” said Sharon Judy, who lived next door to the home Paddock owned in Melbourne, Florida. She says he handed her a key, asking her to keep an eye on the house and borrow any tools she might be able to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really scary to think this is a guy next door,” she told NPR’s Pam Fessler. “Perfectly normal. On nobody’s radar. Nobody’s reason to think anything of any of it. And then all of a sudden he goes out and does something like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are similarly puzzled. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the shooting and the evidence gathered so far show meticulous planning by a disturbed and dangerous man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">VIDEO: provides an update, including a detailed timeline of the incident that occurred on Oct 1. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/wo8LVCxkjX\">https://t.co/wo8LVCxkjX\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— LVMPD (@LVMPD) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LVMPD/status/915769732287971328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Paddock used Airbnb to rent a condo in a downtown Las Vegas high-rise \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555925722/shooter-may-have-considered-other-targets-in-chicago-and-las-vegas\">during a different music festival the weekend before\u003c/a> he fired upon the Route 91 Harvest Festival. And someone named Stephen Paddock booked a room at a Chicago hotel overlooking Grant Park during Lollapalooza there in August, though the hotel says no one by that name actually stayed at the hotel then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two law enforcement officials tell NPR that an analysis of Paddock’s electronic devices show he researched hotels around Fenway Park and a site in downtown Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we know is Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo, and living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood,” Lombardo said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff speculated that the shooter may have had an accomplice: “You’ve got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, said she had no hints of the rampage. Her attorney, Matthew Lombard, read \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/us/statement-transcript-marilou-danley.html\">a statement\u003c/a> from Danley, which said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of, that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A little more than two weeks ago, Stephen told me he found a cheap ticket for me to the Philippines and that he wanted me to take a trip home to see my family. Like all Filipinos abroad, I was excited to go home and see family and friends. While there, he wired me money, which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. I was grateful, but honestly, I was worried that first, the unexpected trip home, and then the money, was a way of breaking up with me. It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This apparent silence, the secret life, also defies another characteristic of mass shooters, says Dr. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist at the University of California San Diego Medical School. Meloy’s research shows that some kind of grievance — big or small — can be a triggering event. The grievance can spiral into planning and preparing some kind of response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s of course the mystery in this particular case is that there doesn’t yet seem to be any grievance that’s surfaced,” says Meloy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secretive planning and preparing for the response can end up overshadowing the grievance as it becomes its own motivation. And Meloy says research shows that mass shooters often fuel their excitement by telling somebody something of their plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A number of studies have found that a majority of these individuals that carry out mass murders will communicate their intent to a third party before they do it,” he says. “There is at least one person that knows the path that this individual is on. There does not seem to be any evidence of that yet in this case, which would be an anomaly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an assessment shared by the sheriff on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything that would indicate this individual’s trigger point and that would cause him to do such harm — we haven’t understood it yet,” said Lombardo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four days after the shooter carried out his meticulous plan, investigators have learned some things about Stephen Paddock. But still not enough to make sense of his terrible crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
