Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock Brother Arrested for Child Porn

Information is quite limited- was he setup? Did the investigation into the alleged shooter lead to his arrest?

TMZ Source

The brother of Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock has been arrested for child porn ... TMZ has learned. Bruce Paddock was taken into custody moments ago in North Hollywood, CA at an assisted living home. Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops were tipped that there was child porn on his computer and they got a search warrant. Our sources say the investigation began before his brother, Stephen, shot up the Vegas music festival earlier this month. Our sources say before the shooting cops were trying to locate Bruce without success, but after his brother committed his heinous act a tip came in Bruce was living at an assisted living facility. Cops say they found child porn images on his computer. The arrest was made by a joint task force that included the FBI and LAPD.

If this turns out to be true, just exactly WTF is going on!!!

Silencing people comes to mind or perhaps Paddock was tied to darker # than we could imagine.

Crazy times, however TMZ is not the best source, will be interesting to see what comes of this.

It sounds like a pathetic attempt to sling mud at the alleged gunman Stephen Paddock via his relatives.

This is the brother that is hardly mentioned at all in any of the (dwindling and now almost non existent) news stories about the incident.

This just adds to the strangeness of the whole thing.

As mentioned, TMZ isn't the greatest, but they do often get stuff out there first. Waiting to see what other (if any) news organizations pick upon this and what is presented.

Gotta keep people distracted.

Whether this guy did it or not, he will be guilty.

I can only imagine what were not being told about, and what terrible thing is coming.

But TMZ, keep the distractions coming.

You hit the nail on the head, the timing of this is unbelievable, what are the freaking odds with everything else that is bubbling up!

Is it conspiracy Chrismas time?

It may not be a distraction but another piece of the puzzle, whatever the Paddocks have been involved in is very relevant to this story.

Yeah and its always child pornography.. Whenever someone needs to be arrested, always found on the persons computer. Never fails..

For what it's worth, I made this prediction three weeks ago:

Nothing so far about any internet presence from this guy? But if he had a computer, I predict they will 'find' child porn on his computer.

I was close!

Paddock was a piece of s***. His father was a piece of s***. His other brother is a piece of s***. Why are people acting like it's a surprise/cover up this brother is also a piece of s***?

Why is this timing strange? how does this coorelate to the shooting?

Well, there was that one picture where he seemed to have a desktop wallpaper of the Powerpuff Girls on his computer monitor.

So...

They were tipped off that he had cp on his computer.

Yet they could not locate him for almost a month,but he was in assisted living?

This whole thing is beyond odd.

So many crazy stories coming out .

Just had my post about this all typed up lol

This guy was homeless and a meth head according to media but living at an assisted living facility when arrested.
Did his health fall apart? Why was he there?
Planting kiddie pr0n on someone's computer is simple for authorities to do.
I have to agree this is probably just a ploy to besmirch Stephen Paddock through his brother.
This also keeps the Paddock name in the news so everyone will be subconsciously reminded "right, he's the shooter".

'Cops were tipped there is child porn on his computer'
'After the shooting, cops were tipped about his whereabouts'

He is the brother of the biggest massive shooter in US history, Bruce who was virtually unknown till this point.

Couldn't get him on jaywalking? Drugs? Being a John? Child porno on his computer....

I am not saying its not true but,not strange for you?

This is the first I have heard of his brother, Bruce. The brother that gave those interviews right after was Eric Paddock who lives in Florida.
