"what happened to Paddock's father in the end?"
-----------------------------------------------------
"At the time of his escape, authorities said Benjamin Paddock was a diagnosed psychopath and therefore "extremely dangerous." The FBI reported he had suicidal tendencies.

"The FBI also called him an avid bridge player."

"Social Security death records show that Benjamin Paddock died Jan. 18, 1998, in Tarrant County, Texas. The Federal Bureau of Prisons operates a facility in Fort Worth, the county's largest city."

By sheer coincidence with respect to recent events, it turns out the Bad Guy had a father who was a criminal sent to prison by the Feds. The son, who eventually became successful and very wealthy, felt that had destroyed his family, and harbored resentment until he finally took action.

Makes ya wonder.


It shouldn't make anyone wonder. I'm constantly surprised by you. Surely one or more of the paintings you've spent your life studying depicts the same story. Half of Europe's history is defined by the paragraph you just typed there. Read it again now after being reminded of that and dare argue...

Tragedy is the only constant in the world.

Lone wolf pretty well describes him. Lack of love in his life. No wife or kids. A girlfriend of sorts. One brother who hadn't spoken to him in 10 years. Other brother lived far away with occasional tweets. Doesn't appear to have any close friends. Some neighbors had negative things to say about him.
Relationship with his mom might prove interesting. Was he considered the "loser" in the family. He helped her with apartments she owned in Florida. No father around.
I guess bragging about his winnings was a big deal for him. His claim to fame to make him feel like a big shot with his family. And if he no longer had that?
He obviously put no value on human life as he didn't see the value in his. Sociopath. A very sick one.
