An explosive possessed by Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock may have been used in an NYC bombing.
Authorities say they recovered the compound known as Tannerite from Paddock’s home in Mesquite and his car parked at Mandalay Bay.
Police have not said why the 64-year-old possessed Tannerite, which is unregulated.
Authorities also found ammonium nitrate in his vehicle.
It can also be used to build bombs.
Tannerite apparently was used in a September 2016 bombing in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood that injured 31 people.
Authorities later arrested Ahmed Rahami in connection with that bombing.
