The group later released Spanish language versions of these statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a third statement released hours later, IS name the purported attacker as \u201cAbu Abd el-Bar al-Amriki (the American),\u201d saying he responded to calls by the group\u2019s top leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to \u201ctarget the countries of the Crusader coalition\u201d battling the extremist group in Iraq and Syria. It added that he caused 600 casualties before he exhausted his supply of ammunition and \u201cmartyred\u201d himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police have identified the shooter as Stephen Craig Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada, and have said he killed himself after the shooting. Authorities have not commented on his religious background or said what might have motivated the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most IS attacks have been carried out by much younger men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said authorities believe it was a \u201clone wolf\u201d attack, and the U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no \u201cspecific credible threat\u201d involving other public venues in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extremist organization has suffered a string of major setbacks in Iraq and Syria, where it has lost much of the territory it once claimed as part of a self-styled Islamic caliphate. However, the group remains active in recruiting followers on social media, and has repeatedly called on its supporters to carry out attacks in Western nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IS group often claims attacks by individuals inspired by its message but with no known links to the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Sunday, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history took place in June 2016, when a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people. The shooter, Omar Mateen, had pledged allegiance to IS and it claimed the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IS claimed the attack on a casino in the Philippines that killed dozens of people, but police later identified the attacker as a Filipino gambling addict who was $80,000 in debt, saying it was a botched robbery that was not terrorism-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
