Brother of Vegas shooter arrested for child porn
LAS VEGAS, NV - OCTOBER 08: A marquee at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino displays a message in tribute to the victims of last Sunday night's mass shooting on October 8, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The marquees at resorts all along the Las Vegas Strip displayed the message "When things get dark, Las Vegas shines." after they went dark at 10:05 p.m. for 11 minutes Sunday night, marking the time and duration one week ago of the shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival. Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and injured more than 450 when he opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay. The massacre is one of the deadliest mass shooting events in U.S. history. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
According to The New York Post, Bruce Paddock, brother to the Vegas shooter, has a pretty long criminal record.
But just recently, Bruce was arrested in North Hollywood, CA for possession of more than 600 images of child pornography.
Police were tipped of the child porn on Bruce’s computer which was enough to get a search warrant. Crazy thing is, the investigation was taking place before Bruce’s brother Stephen Paddock shot up the Las Vegas Music Festival. Police weren’t successful in trying to find him but after Stephen’s deadly shooting, police received information about Bruce’s whereabouts.
