Pretty much this. Some of it is also probably people who don't know how to rationalize how this could have been done by a "normal person" who didn't have terrorist connections. I can understand that difficulty. Very hard to wrap my mind around.
Stephen King commented on this a while back regarding the JFK conspiracy. I think in many ways he touches on why so many people seem to want to cling to a "second gunman" or isis in this tragedy. There is something unsettling in knowing that one person can disrupt life so much.
His exact quote

We find it difficult to believe that one lone wingnut with a gun could kill the most powerful man in the world. But we’ve seen it time and time and time again. We saw it with John Lennon—that was no conspiracy, it was just a crazy lone gunman who killed him. Bridget Carpenter, the showrunner, came to disagree with me, but I think Oswald was acting alone.

I think that's spot on. It definitely just doesn't sit right with my spirit to think about this being possible because one nutcase went crazy for no real reason.

Was it ever her permanent residence or was she born there?
Yes to both, and I'd heard early on that her family over there had muslim names. Not saying that means anything, but that information ties in to my thought process.

Her brother, Reynaldo Bustos, said he immediately contacted his sister when he saw the news that Paddock had allegedly opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on a country music festival crowd killing 58 people and injuring 530 others. Police say Paddock shot himself before a SWAT team broke down the door to the hotel suite.
"I called her up immediately and she said, 'Relax, we shouldn't worry about it. I'll fix it. Do not panic. I have a clean conscience,'" Bustos told ABC News in his native Tagalog language today outside the capital of Manila.

Her brother's name is Reynaldo Bustos 
not Muslim-sounding at all.

Let me walk that back a bit...there was an internet claim that before she took her facebook down, there were a bunch of "Friends" with muslim names in her list. I don't know if that is true.

Oh okay. Wouldn't surprise me with her travels to Dubai.

I think there's too many coincidental connections that there wasn't some sort of ISIS type effect on this whacko.

Yeah, I'm leaning to him not leaving anything behind. No motive. That was probably his plan all along. We may never find out what made him snap.

don't you want to leave your motive or point behind? Isn't that the whole point?

I believe we will.
The Sheriff in his press conference yesterday said that they were confident a motive will be found.
I believe that the motive is already known and the investigation is continuing with future charges being brought against other people.

Not necessarily if you are criminally mentally ill.
