Have there been any reasoned guesses as to his motivation for the mass shooting?

Here are his brothers' ideas:

quote:

The report includes notes from an interview with Paddock's brother Eric Paddock, who "believed Paddock may have conducted the attack because he had done everything in the world he wanted to do and was bored with everything. If so, Paddock would have planned the attack to kill a large amount of people because he would want to be known as having the largest casualty count. Paddock always wanted to be the best and known to everyone."

Another brother, Bruce Paddock, told investigators that "Paddock was suffering from mental illness and was paranoid and delusional." A Las Vegas doctor, identified as Paddock's primary care physician, told investigators he believed the gunman may have had bipolar disorder but the he had refused medication to treat it. He also described Paddock's behavior as "odd."

I think because most of these types of shooters have documented history or leave some note or obvious trail of evidence, it's hard for many to believe it's possible that someone could have been mentally ill but never sought treatment nor left a reason for doing it.


It's certainly odd, but I just don't see why it is not at all believable.
