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.

Maybe she left beforehand because she knew what was going to happen. It will be interesting to see when he booked the hotel room.

The sheriff just said they located her out of the country. He didn’t say where, and no one asked.

Huh?

A Country Music comment makes me believe he was NOT a WS. Political, but no ws. Either a sick person, or a political conversion is how it looks to me.

Sure, indeed, most mass murders have zero to do with politics or religion. Most are just psychopathic jackasses with alot of hatred in them.

I find it curious that Eric the brother lives in Orlando. Scene of the last biggest shooting.

(Wow, I accidentally drove right by there in Aug on our Disney trip! Caught me by surprise!)

for what it’s worth!

2 Oct: Daily Telegraph Australia: Las Vegas shooting: Female person of interest former Gold Coast (Australia) resident
by David Murray, Thomas Chamberlin & Sarah Blake for The Courier Mail
A FORMER Gold Coast woman at the centre of a major police search following a mass shooting in Las Vegas that left more than 50 people dead has been ruled out as a suspect...

News that Danley was somehow connected to the shooting shocked friends and family living in Queensland. Danley had lived on the Gold Coast for more than a decade and was married to an Australian man – who had since died – before moving to the US about 20 years ago...
“I would never have thought she would be tied up in anything like this,” one friend, from Robina on the Gold Coast, told The Courier-Mail.

One of her sisters, Liza Werner, still lives in Australia and said: “I can’t comment at the moment. I can’t say anything. I’m sorry, sorry.”

The 13 tat leads me to think he is connected to White Supremacy which runs the gamut of politics.

If he's a white supremacist, wouldn't an Indonesian girlfriend be unusual?

A 64 year old man that voted for Trump does not plan out an attack at a country music concert with 22,000 Trump supporters in attendance, then kill as many people as he could. The media will try to blame the attack on Trump’s rhetoric. Ain’t gonna fly.

Notice that he attacked a country western concert. Since white people are the majority attracted to country western music and most likely overwhelmingly in attendance last night, the media can’t use this in their twisted agenda of white vs. black.

Marilou was located out of the country. They spoke to her on the phone and decided she was not involved. They did not say where they located her. Indonesia? Yemen? Afghanistan? Iraq?

It was just announced that he checked in to the hotel on September 28th so he had three full days to set up for this horrible massacre.

Yes he was. Seems like all these shooters end up dead immediately. You would think law enforcement would want to interview these people. You know, to find a motive or LEO future LEO training scenarios etc.....

But no. There’s a narrative to push. That is to ban guns. Period. I hate our media.

"My bet: Leftist atheist trump hater with brand spanking new slide fire stocks and rifles with a one time drop ship UPS of ammo to his front door recently. "

A fairly safe bet.

“Normal guy who snapped.”
No.
Someone who shoots and kills masses of people is not f*cking NORMAL! What the a$$hole meant was “By golly, I got fooled into thinking he was normal.”
There is no such thing as “snapped.” People don’t snap. Garters snap. Bra straps snap.
The individual was obviously capable of doing this, probably for years, even if no one around him was able to pick up on it. Maybe he didn’t give clues.

Is it the loss of any sense of moral values? The idea that this action is WRONG? Today, if you say “right and wrong” you are considered as a judgemental useless old fart.

Sorry for being obtuse. I understood your post but was incredulous that no one would try to get further information at what I assume was a presser.

Maybe got it from a shooting range, where some automatic weapons can be.

“HOW did he get hold of Sub-Machine guns??”

You can buy them legally but it’s VERY expensive. To buy them on the black market would probably be even more expensive. The military and law enforcement lose them from time to time but I’m thinking someone is behind this with a lot of money to spend and the contacts to set this up.

If he’s not a Jihadi convert I’m betting on Commies or Anarchists. If it turns out to be Commies look for the MSM to suddenly lose interest after their first frenzy of blood dancing and calls for gun control by the usual globalists.
