Read the latest on the Las Vegas shooting with Thursday’s live updates.

Marilou Danley thought he was breaking up with her.

A little more than two weeks ago, Ms. Danley’s boyfriend, Stephen Paddock, told her that he had found an inexpensive ticket to the Philippines so she could visit her family.

While she was there, he wired her money and told her to buy a house for her and her family.

It seemed to Ms. Danley that he might be letting her down easy. Never, she said, did she think her “kind, caring, quiet,” boyfriend was capable of what he did Sunday, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds more at an outdoor concert from his Las Vegas hotel room.

“It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone,” she said Wednesday in her first public comments since the shooting.
