I’ve been wondering where the shooter’s father was during this difficult time in the family. He had moved away and remarried. Why was his wife dealing with this difficult son by herself? Why did this father allow his mentally ill son to be in a home with guns in it?
Also, it seems to me that he could have shot his mother anywhere, but shooting her in the face denotes extreme anger against her. He destroyed her face. That’s rage.
Agree. So was killing all of the children, rather than just the adults (whom he might have rationalized justified his rage).
