From what I read elsewhere, kid was on SSRI drugs too.

Son of a female deputy sheriff.

These are the people who issue permits for guns, and are supposed to know about safe storage. Screw up today much, Mom?

Well, it IS Florida.

Far too easy to get guns I suppose

As we cannot get guns easy in the UK now, the last school massacre we had in Scotland was the Dunblane massacre near Stirling back in 1996, where a nutter killed 16 pupils and one teacher and injured 15 others before killing himself. It remains the deadliest mass shooting in British history.

In this particular case, the issue wasn't the scumbag's restriction to Guns. Turns out, the suspect was a member of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Youth Advisory Council and was going through a number of training programs which I would presume also included Firearms operation and safety briefings.

So its no surprise that he might have had access to his Mom's Weapons as he would have already passed the necessary clearances. 2 Weapons were recovered at the scene; A shotgun and his mom's former Service Pistol. No motive has been disclosed as the scumbag is refusing to talk with Law Enforcement but the news article is stating that he had "strong" right wing opinions on issues that made a lot of people uncomfortable.

We will get a better idea of what was going through this shitstain's head as the investigtion continues.

Too Early to say what is going on at this time btu
