Police in the North are investigating a paramilitary-style shooting in Belfast on Monday night.

One man was wounded in the incident, though his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, was shot in both of his legs in the Ardoyne area of North Belfast at around 9.00pm.

He has been taken to hospital for treatment.

Sinn Fein councillor, Gerry McCabe, said: "There can be no place for these type of actions in our society.”

Police have recovered more than 18 guns, explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition at Stephen Paddock's home and an additional 23 guns at his room at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

The 64-year-old opened fire on crowds at a country music festival on the Las Vegas strip on Sunday night, before turning the gun on himself.

Sheriff Jospeph Lombardo confirmed that the death toll currently stands at 59, while a further 527 suffered injuries during the incident – making the attack the deadliest mass shooting in US history.

Investigators have not yet been able to identify a motive for the shooting.

Speaking yesterday, Paddock's brother described him as as a keen gambler who had no known political or religious agenda.

"He was a guy who had money. He went on cruises and gambled," he said.

"We are completely dumbfounded. We can't understand what happened."

The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, though its claims were later rejected by the FBI.

Paddock was not believed to have any militant connection, say Mr Lombardo.

"We have no idea what his belief system was," he said. "We've located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied."

Political leaders around the world have condemned the massacre, with US President, Donald Trump calling the incident “an act of pur evil.”

There have been no reports of any Irish victims, though anyone with concerns about relatives can contact the Department of Foreign Affairs' Consular Assistance Unit on 01-4082527.

A location scout for the hit Netflix series, Nacros, has been found dead after he was shot multiple times while searching for filming locations in central Mexico.

Carlos Muñoz Portal was discovered in his car on Monday in the rural town of Temascalapa, an area believed to have one of the highest murder rates in the entire country.

The motive for the shooting is not yet know, though according to reports, police have said his car appeared to have been involved in some sort of chase.

A lack of witnesses mean Mexican authorities are struggling to piece together what little information they have.

The 37-year-old was an experienced location manager and had worked on a number of productions in Mexico including Man on Fire, Apocalypto and the latest Bond film, Spectre.

Netflix issued a brief statement, saying, "We are aware of the passing of Carlos Muñoz Portal, a well-respected scout, and send our condolences to his family. The facts surrounding his death are still unknown as authorities continue to investigate."

Nacros season four sees the location move form Colombia to Mexico, though it is not yet know if the producers will continue to seek out Mexico locations.
