Eric Paddock, the brother of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock, tells The Daily Mail the family was “dumbfounded” by the mass shooting, as his brother “has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know.”

“We know absolutely nothing, this is just, we are dumbfounded,” he says. There was “absolutely no indication he could do something like this,” the Florida resident says.

“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,” he says.

Paddock adds: “He’s my brother, we don’t have a very close relationship but we talk occasionally. There’s no rhyme or reason here, it makes no sense.”
