LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The brother of Stephen Paddock has been arrested on child pornography charges, reports TMZ.
The website says Bruce Paddock was taken into custody on Wednesday morning in North Hollywood at an assisted living home.
TMZ says before the shooting, police were unable to locate Bruce, and were notified he lived at an assisted living facility after the tragedy. Bruce is not the same brother who has made TV rounds, that man was Eric Paddock.
News 3 is working to gather more information. Check back for updates.
LA Times and Drudge has it as well:

Ha...beat me by 1 min, 19 seconds. Good job.
Plus, this wasn't the "weird interview" brother that was in FL. This is the CA brother. Guess the whole family is cray-cray.
Further proof that some families have mutant DNA.
Sure. Find the poor guy at an assisted living facility, plant some kiddy porn on his 10 year old computer, and make sure he keeps his mouth shut. If he doesn’t agree to their terms, well, you know...
This keeps getting weirder.
The memes on 4chan have been hilarious.
Not sure on this. Put on your tinfoil hat for a second, but my first thought is that the US Government is the number one purveyor of child porn (under the auspices of catching the bad guys). The radio silence and lock down (erased phones, etc) around the Vegas attack indicates some type of cover-up. Perhaps the brother is threatening to expose that the shooter is an “Agent Gone Bad”...
Trying to flip him because they think he’s hiding something?
You know, with all the crap going on lately with our govt. this doesn't even sound that far fetched.
Money laundering for child porn sales?
A thought crossed my mind ( yes, that still happens once in awhile.) Paddock the shooter had money, airplanes and guns. More than one commenter has suggested he might be running guns for the CIA or some other such agency and simply reached the end of his useful life.
But what if it wasn’t guns he was running? A lot of kids are getting abducted these days and never seen again. How much would a planeload of pre-teens be worth in Yemen?
And that leads back to questions of whether Paddock was laundering money in Vegas. And if so, where the heck did huge sums of money to be laundered, come from in the first place??
I believe he’s been in trouble before and was the original black sheep of the brothers.
Right....Eric Paddock was the brother who said he didn’t know his killer brother had an interest in guns...but also said he knew he had a handgun in a safe...and that Incle Steve also took his kids skeet shooting.
And girlfriend in Indonesia being wired significant amounts of money. Child trafficking wouldn’t surprise me.
My guess has been human trafficking. Big money that needs to be laundered
