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.

Remember “the most armed man in America”? isnt he located in Nevada? and wasnt he just robbed a few months ago? Maybe thats where this automatic weapon came from?
I was wondering why they were delaying on this but then I heard them say they were worried about booby traps. Hope it doesn’t blow up and destroy evidence. I imagine they are going to have to take their time and use robots.
The plot thickens......
Ping.
Not quite a stadium, but ...
Incredible video, definitely automatic gunfire.
The point is that if this were a fully automatic belt fed weapon, then quite a bit of planning must have been involved even just to acquire such a system, as opposed to a semi auto being bump fired from a magazine, which could be done at spur of the moment.
“planned well in advance”
I happen to agree with the advance planning, but as a “what if”...
With the Squeeze Marylou reported to have worked at Mandalay Bay, could she have been able to grab a canceled reservation or an early check-out in a prime sniper location?
Or maybe just got Room Service key to someone they knew wouldn’t be there (event crew)?
Maybe those with hospitality experience could weigh in on this. Of course, maybe this detail will be out publically soon enough.
And DOESN’T report calling the info immediately to the cops?
Most people have cellphones or are near people with them in public.
Hmmm.
Eric Hudson Paddock is 57 and lives in Orlando area. 32828
His roommate is David Elias.
Brother to...
Stephen CRAIG Paddock
Right!
He became a lefty.
In EFAD, only three 30-round mags were fired from afar into the stadium.
Most of the mass-casualties were from the panic stampede.
Here, many more rounds were fired directly down into a penned-in crowd of nearly stadium numbers.
Very similar outcomes, fiction and non-fiction.
And I just heard on the news that the shooter was a pilot (smart, not a marginal moron) and a “hunting enthusiast.”
If the shooter purchased ten plus long guns in his own name, then carried out this massacre with legal weapons, this will be a game changer for our RKBA, almost like in the novel.
[“’He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something, he was just a guy.
‘He has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know. This wasn’t a terror attack’.”]
The narrative begins.
Looking more like that.
My guess (and it is a guess) is that we’ll find out he’s some sort of liberal, virulently anti-Trump, who wanted to hit Trump supporters.
But that’s just a guess - I admit it.
It will be lost in the noise of the MSM screaming “Anybody can mail order a machine gun with a stolen credit card and get it with 2-day shipping”. That’s about the narrative I expect.
Liberals will all nod in unison as this is presented as fact.
Bernie really does hate the casino industry.
Bernie Sanders Goes After Casino Industry
hmmm..... lefty Muslim. Deadly combo if true
If my brother does something like this and the media calls me, I will tell them the truth. He’s a big supporter of gun control and has an obsessive hatred of Trump.
I won’t even make the news.
Will be interesting to see what actually shakes out of this particular tree because there's lots of questions already being put out there about his "lone wolf" status.
