The brother of the man who opened fire on a country music concert in Las Vegas on Sunday night told reporters that his brother was a regular guy who appears to have just “snapped.”
On Sunday night, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire from his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort on a crowd at a Jason Aldeen performance at the Route 41 Harvest festival. By the end of Paddock’s horrific act, over 50 people were dead and over 400 injured. The nightmare — which is the most deadly mass shooting in the history of the country — ended when Paddock committed suicide via firearm in the hotel room, where he had been staying since Thursday. Authorities found a cache of ten rifles in the room.
In an interview with DailyMail.com on Monday, the shooter’s brother, Eric Paddock, said the family was “shocked” at his brother’s actions, saying they had “absolutely no indication” he was capable of such a heinous act.
