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.

BREAKING NEWS: ISIS claim responsibility for Vegas shooting and say the gunman ‘converted to Islam months ago’
Yes. That is why I linked to it.
I’m more interested in the law, not what the Comey’s of the world think should be prosecuted.
Link doesn’t work.
What does it say about his apartment complex?
A drifter. Never settled down. No firm relationships. Everybody was against him. Not many pics of him. Even his GF didn’t have any thing on him on her facebook. If your gonna off yourself, do it without physically harming others.
I just found this tidbit...
“When asked during a news conference why the police were not treating the incident as an act of terrorism, Sheriff Lombardo said: “We have to establish what his motivation is first.”
“When asked during a news conference why the police were not treating the incident as an act of terrorism, Sheriff Lombardo said: “We have to establish what his motivation is first.”
“Following the press briefing, Isis claimed responsibility for the massacre, saying Paddock was “a soldier of the Islamic State” who answered “calls to target coalition countries”.
Just snaped? Is was a 911 style declaration of war with a masked recruiting message and zconcention/fatwa. You betcha this guy had a manifesto and alliees.
Bet he turns out to be like the unibomber, leftwing anti-religious socialist type
The guy recently reportedly hooked up with this woman reportedly from Indonesia—the largest Muslim country in the world.
Family members in such circumstances almost always claim complete “surprise”...
From your link - “Paddock first checked into the Mandalay Bay casino-hotel on Sept. 28”
What was he doing since last Thursday? Who did he meet with? Why wasn’t his gf with him? How did he get 10 weapons, ammo and cameras in if he flew to Vegas? How long ago was his reservation? I’m thinking he drove instead of flew in so what about his car?
What the heck. She gets around but is a bit long in the tooth to be a mail order bride.
Mesquite is less than 100 miles away from Vegas straight along I-15, an easy drive.
The 13 looks more like shadows and wrinkles.
You'd keep it for your legacy.

A good possibility.
Last guy was hunting Republicans and almost killed Scalise.
FOX just said ISIS is claiming responsibility for the shooting.
I dunno. An old white dude and ISIS isn’t very common but you never know. Could be or ISIS is just wanting headlines.
That is part of the point in having his registration reported on.
The other part would be, since full auto is inique, who signed off on it.
Yep. BLOAT this month.
FOX news - 58-59 now dead.
I just posted a Heavy.com update in a new thread. He was a licensed pilot and own two planes so that’s how he could have transported the weapons. He was also a licensed Alaska hunter.
Also, he was in the middle of a divorce but unknown if “wife” is the Indonesian gf or what.
I think the sentence was poorly worded. The “home due to be searched “ was due to the shooting. From what I’ve read, the search was part of the current investigation, not a prior plan.
