The reports that I've been reading list the little monster as the grandchild of a retired police officer. Both grandparents were shot and killed before the firearms were stolen. Haven't yet heard the status of the parents at this point.
Thank goodness the Supreme Court has ruled that this kid will never have to suffer the death penalty. Now we'll just need to warehouse him with three hots and a cot for the next fifty years or so...

I read somewhere, that the father is taking the "eternal dirt nap", having committed suicide a while back, and the mother is in a nursing home after suffering a brain injury in a car accident.
All of it probably related to "firewater"-abuse.
