Arrow 'He snapped' Las Vegas shooter's brother speaks out about music festival massacre

'He snapped' Las Vegas shooter's brother speaks out about music festival massacre

THE brother of the Las Vegas gunman believes he may have massacred 50 people before killing himself after “something happened” and he “snapped”.

Gunman Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old OAP from Mesquite, Nevada, fired hundreds of bullets at revellers enjoying the Route 91 Harvest Festival last night.

He carried out the terrifying assault rifle rampage from the balcony of his 32nd floor Mandalay Bay hotel room, leaving at least 50 dead and 200 injured.

Police believe Paddock, described as a white, local man with no criminal past, then took his own life before an armed SWAT team stormed the hotel room.

Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said police have found nothing to shed light on his motive for indiscriminately gunning down concert-goers.

Speaking to MailOnline, his brother Eric Paddock suggested that “something happened” to make him carry out the deadliest shooting in US history.

Paddock, who was living in a retirement home in the region, was just a regular guy with no religious or political ties, Eric said.

He said: “He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something.”

Eric, Orlando, Florida, said the attack has left him and his family “dumbfounded” and they “knew nothing” about his possible motive.

He said: “We have absolutely no idea. Our condolences go to the victims and all their families.”

Eric said that he did not speak to his brother often and his 90-year-old mother is in “shock” over the shooting.

His brother’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, who was hunted by the FBI before it emerged she was out of the country, has “nothing to do with this”, Eric said.

Danley, an Asian middle-class woman in her 60s, was found after a manhunt and has been questioned by police.

He added: “She has nothing to do with this, at least from my perspective.

“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.”

Paddock has been described as a “lone wolf” with no links to terrorism, police said.

Police found 10 guns in the room where Paddock had been holed up since September 28.

Terrifying video shows panic-stricken revellers, including children, scrambling from the gunfire with blood soaked bodies strewn in their path.

Personal note: He snapped!!!!! If someone knew that his family member wasn't playing with a full deck why didn't he sound an alarm!
