The Las Vegas gunman’s girlfriend spoke publicly for the first time since the shooting, saying Wednesday that she had no idea of the massacre he was plotting when he sent her on a trip abroad to see her family.
     “It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone,” Marilou Danley, 62, said in a statement read by her attorney Matthew Lombard outside FBI headquarters in Los Angeles. Danley returned from her native Philippines on Tuesday and was being questioned for much of the next day by FBI agents.
     She also said: “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.”
