Eric Paddock

Eric Paddock is a name that is often associated with the tragic events that took place in Las Vegas in 2017, when his brother, Stephen Paddock, carried out a mass shooting that resulted in the deaths of 58 people. Eric Paddock has since become known as the brother of the perpetrator, and has been thrust into the public eye as a result of the tragedy. However, before the events of 2017, Eric Paddock was a relatively unknown figure. He was born in 1953 in Wisconsin, and spent much of his life in the Midwest. He worked in a variety of jobs throughout his life, including as a postal worker and a casino worker. He was known to be a private person, and did not seek out the spotlight in any way.

He has expressed shock and disbelief at what his brother did, and has called for more research into the causes of mass shootings. He has also been critical of the media's coverage of the shooting, and has accused them of sensationalizing the tragedy.

He continues to live a private life, and has not sought out any further publicity.
