Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas Village early on Monday morning killing at least 50
His brother Eric tells DailyMail.com his family have no idea what happened to make him shoot
'He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something,' he said
The brother of the Las Vegas shooter said that he was a normal guy who must have 'snapped' before carrying out the worst mass shooting in American history.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Eric Paddock said that 'something happened' to make his brother Stephen kill at least 50 people and injure 200.
Eric said that there was 'absolutely no indication he could do something like this' and said that Stephen had no political or religious affiliation.
He said: 'He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something'.
Speaking from his home in Orlando, Florida, Eric said: 'We know absolutely nothing, this is just, we are dumbfounded.

Right on all counts! Something smells really bad. The whitewash has begun with the media. And the odd statement from the brother about them not being particularly close but hoping LEO doesn’t shoot her because he knows in his heart of hearts that she’s not involved, is truly weird. I mean, who says that if you’re “not that close”? The family knows more than they’re saying, IMHO. Plus, the brother lives in Orlando, scene of the now second-place worst mass shooting in America. Maybe they need a visit by federal LEO.
The loss of the hard drive has been going on for a long time. The first time I saw it was after the Virginia Tech shooting. If you were planning to die, why do you care if someone looks at your computer? You’ll be dead
this really is weird. He’s kind of old for Islam, and kind of Vegas for Bernie, and kind of blue-collar for Antifa, from what I can tell.

He”s 64 years old. Baby boomer. Probably radical leftist. They invented this shit (see Bill Ayers, weathermen, SDS)
Brother said no political or religious affiliation. Religion is atheism, environmentalism, free love, open borders, progressivism, marxism. this will unfold on conservative media while the left advances the gun violence narrative
NBC just reported that he was retired and frequent gambler. Wonder if he had a big loss recently and figured he had nothing left to lose.
Lawyers would have told him to not talk to anyone.
Might just be the fall guy. How convenient he shoots himself.
At this stage I’m completely in the state of mind this is Islamic warfare.
b. 1953 That makes him possibly Nam vet.
Also IIRC, the machine work looked like it took only a few minutes.
(This is HIGHLY illegal for the hoi polloi, but so is murder and mayhem.)
He could also have converted to full auto.
I correspond with my siblings quite regularly - one sister almost daily.
How about you?
I was thinking the same thing but can’t remember which shooting he was responsible for, can you tell me?
He doesn’t seem to have a Facebook account.
Probably not AntiFa
No they don’t...if you don’t know, then ask, don’t “tell.”
I read on another thread that the female is an Indonesian muslim. I don’t know if this is true and am trying to find out. Finding an older, lonely, angry lefty man and using him as your weapon is possible.
Very interesting that there is absolutely no mention in any report about the man’s politics.
that means he was a leftist and I think he could have been inspired by antifa.
Article says; "No".
He may have deleted everything.
Here’s a scenario: He gets in huge amounts of debt from gambling. Wife finds out and leaves him. He really does snap.
A 13 tat on the neck means MS-13 I believe
They’ll be going through is apt. and checking out his computer for any clues/connections would be my guess.
That’s what I told my wife. Hard leftists believe they’re not political either, they are truth tellers. CNN thinks it’s not political like FNC. Antifa believes it’s fighting facism. When leftist rant about the environment they always qualify it with “this is not political,” it’s science.
