(TMZ) -- The brother of the Vegas shooter has been arrested for child porn ... TMZ has learned.

Bruce Paddock was taken into custody moments ago in North Hollywood, CA at an assisted living home.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops were tipped that there was child porn on his computer and they got a search warrant. TMZ's sources say the investigation began before his brother, Stephen, shot up the Vegas music festival earlier this month.

TMZ's sources say before the shootings cops were trying to locate Bruce without success, but after his brother committed his heinous act a tip came in Bruce was living at an assisted living facility.

Cops say they found child porn images on his computer.

The arrest was made by a joint task force that included the FBI and LAPD.
