Barnes was involved in a custody dispute in Tacoma in July 2011, during which the toddler's mother sought a temporary restraining order against him, according to the documents. In an affidavit, the woman wrote that Barnes was suicidal and possibly suffered from PTSD after deploying to Iraq in 2007-2008. She said he gets easily irritated, angry and depressed and keeps an arsenal of weapons in his home. from that link

Pretty clumsily-written paragraph. Fox must have the holiday fill-ins running the show today.

It was reported that he might have been involved in a shooting in Skyway, which is in the Seattle Metro area. There was an argument at a party and the hosts kicked a person out. That person, thought to be Barnes returned, shooting four people. He might have been heading out to the Park to hide out, but thought when rangers tried to stop him it was for the shooting. I haven't heard any indication that the Rangers knew he was connected to another shooting.
He had a lot of tattoos. I'm wondering if he had any gang affiliations.

It's a good chance, because of the tattoos and crop hair cut that he may have been supremacist.

We’ll find out more information,true or otherwise, during the next couple weeks.
A white shooter.
A dead ‘first responder/hero’.
An assault weapon.
A possible white supremasist.
A war veteran with PTSD.
Don’t be surprised if obama releases a statement of ‘condolences’ to the family live on national tv.
As they say in the business; this story has legs.
