A brother of Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock has been detained in North Hollywood on suspicion of crimes related to child pornography, according to authorities.

Bruce Paddock, 58, was taken into custody in North Hollywood on Wednesday morning, according to a source who was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and requested anonymity.

The Los Angeles Police Department said a man was detained in the 5300 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard on suspicion of crimes related to child pornography. However the LAPD would not reveal the name of the man.

On the night of Oct. 1, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock fired on the crowd at a country musical festival from his hotel room in Las Vegas. Paddock killed 58 people in the meticulously planned attack and wounded hundreds more before he shot and killed himself. His motivation remains a mystery, authorities say.

On Wednesday, Sandra Breault, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Las Vegas, declined to say whether Bruce Paddock’s detention was connected to the agency's investigation into the concert shooting.

"We have no comment at this time," she said.

The most likely explanation for why we've had such a hard time nailing down the timeline of events in general, which is what has motivated so many to theorize about conspiracies involving additional shooters, or implicating the security guard, is that the hotel wants to avoid disclosing that its security staff likely should have been able to stop Paddock before he started firing.

As someone who works with sound and has heard rifle fire in a reflective environment, I would expect to hear the crack of the bullet whizzing by, the intial report of the rifle, and then multiple echoes across the buildings. Completely expected. I have no stake in there being one or multiple shooters, but this is one of the weakest theories I've ever seen.

I was wondering about that with all the conspiracy theories floating around I wouldn’t want to help spread propaganda

How about the CIA did it to keep the conspiracy theorist busy so they would ingnore the JFK papers release that shows the CIA killed JFK.

Hillary did it.

Aliens anybody? Illegal interstellar aliens escaped from Area 51 did it.

That’s what the Freemasons and Illuminati want you to think.
