Head of the police for the community college should be made Sheriff of Pima county.
Dupnik should be fired sued by the victims.
Th sheriff and the parents knew the boy was nutz.
It is becoming very clear the sheriff dropped the ball. He knew this kid had ‘problems’.
It would seem that his pari’s should have put him on the “No Buy” list.
Has anyone found out when he bought the weapon? Before or after the college booted him? If after, someone needs to be sued.
How tragic, if this report is correct and I’m assuming it is—his parents let him and many others down. They knew.
I’m guessing here but I wonder if the father had issues as well?
I’ve read reports the mother worked but haven’t read/heard the father did. Other than water his garden and tinker with old vehicles.
I’ve watched reports from neighbors saying they (mostly they’ve said father and son) weren’t very social as neighbors and kept to themselves.
I don’t put a whole lot on that— my neighborhood has many renters and some of them...I’m not interested in chatting with.
Though looking at the fence—it needs painting.
There are at least 3 old cars that I’ve noticed, apparently the father isn’t too industrious with his tinkering—bites off more than he can chew? dreams too big?
They’ve barricaded themselves in from the press, I can understand that, it must be overwhelming, but they hide, withdraw— instead of being assertive in protecting their property.
I’ve never had a kid do such a thing, so I’m prob’ly judging wrongly because I haven’t been in their shoes.
This is all just so damn sad...
"That evening, two police officers delivered the letter of suspension to the student at his and his parents residence and spoke with the student and his parents."
Law enforcement knew there was an issue with the perp's behavior.
Certifiable, but not certified. Sigh!
At one time, I was a college student myself, and I voluntarily withdrew from Nobel Peace Prize consideration...
