I say no. A paddock is a place. There is no connection with the shooter. Further, his name will be forgotten by most in a few months, and he will be referred to as you did --- the Las Vegas shooter.

For example, it is probable that no one who reads this, other than a very serious student of firearms incidents, could tell you the name of the "Texas Tower Shooter," who killed 11 and wounded 31, after killing 5 others before going up into the tower.

It is even likely that most people don't know the location of the tower, other than the obvious, that it is in Texas.
