RE: Texas gunman who killed seven had previously failed background check for firearm

in #news5 years ago

Man, the amount of warning signs on this guy.

He even failed a background check, and had past interactions in his community with local law enforcement. Which probably weren't for patting him on the back for being a model citizen. Not with his record.

'Multiple interactions' usually means you're a regular troublemaker in your neighborhood. That the law has been called out to talk to you. Drink, drugs, belligerence, noise complaints, maybe worse.

Evading arrest in Texas penal code has subsections that can make it a felony, so wait and see what else details come out on this. Though, given the amount of potential fuck-ups had to go on to miss this guy, I'm not sure we'll hear all the damning details.
