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'.

“He was a quiet man.”
From the time of the initial call to 911 (after the shooting started), to the time the police blew the door, was 72 minutes.
Yes, an hour and 12 minutes.
Think of that.

I did think of that.
I wasn’t there so I will not judge them.
No armchair quarterbacking for me.
Think of THAT.

He was in a fortified position with lots of weapons. It was a well thought out and executed, (no pun intended) plan.
I was not there either, but this is one of the longest mass shootings on record. I think Whitman in the tower in the Texas University was longer, but Whitman came under fire very quickly.
Let’s see, Beslan was longer, three days or so.
The Orlando shooting went on for three hours and 15 minutes.
So this was a faster response than Whitman, Beslan, and Orlando.
Whitman’s shooting from the tower was 96 minutes.
“Whitman’s shooting from the tower was 96 minutes.”
I remember listening to some of the Whitman shots on my old black and white TV————listening live was new then,and I was horrified.

But you understood the communication, so all is well.
Reminds me of military writing. Used to have to edit lots of writing by folks both above and below me, I never really cared as long I could understand the intent. I still subscribe to the military idea that “ writing should be easily understood in one quick reading and generally free of grammatical error”.

Thanks for your service in Vietnam.
I was a 10 YO then.
Blessings.
Maybe. But the internet is forever.
The FBI will find it if it was there.
