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.

Saw that in a later post. My local radio station mentioned shooting for only 40 seconds. My fat old fingers made it 10 seconds. 10 minutes makes much more sense.

I’ll tell you what I do know. When they raid his place, they’ll find his computer either gone or the hard drive destroyed to cover his tracks. The ONLY reason you do that is to keep from exposing any accomplices.


For him to set up cameras in the hallways to see who’s coming is very telling. More will come out about this guy. This is no effing snap.

Michael Jackson had that so he’d know to get out of the little boy’s pants before they walked in.

I think you guys are right. No job, Muslim girlfriend, Lefty brother, probably an Ayers type.

"Just a guy" doesn't have a full-auto rifle capable of firing 720 rounds a minute -- and multiple magazines holding 100-120 rounds -- and a "girlfriend" who can rent him a room in a casino -- right over a crowded concert.

If he had a class III license for that (rather rare) full-auto weapon, the ATF already knew who he was.

High probability: some organization or sugar daddy equipped him and set him on this horrendous "mission"...

Something is still badly wrong with this picture...

the lefties will blame this on Trump and a reason to stop his immigration policy.

Yep. Even though that makes about as much sense as "don't fight heart failure, because cancer kills people too!"

Clearly he was NOT just a guy..

So let’s wait and see who he really was, what was driving him, who he knew.

and he was going to college to become a surgeon, too?

Clearly he was just beginning to turn his life around.

“Sub” machine guns are pistol-caliber weapons.

He only lived 80 miles from LV. Why wouldn’t he drive?

The hotel said he was checked in since Friday. It seems he waited until the festival was almost over. Maybe it took some time to get all guns loaded and two shooting platforms set up. Or maybe he just was getting his nerve up.

I wasn’t there so what do I know. All I know what reporters say - that he flew in.
