Did the Mother-in-law contact law enforcement regarding the threats? This is what happens when domestic violence is not reported.

There could be more fatalities if ten people in critical condition don't recover. How did this raging idiot every get his hands on a gun? That is as much the issue as anything. And it wasn't even a handgun, but, an assault weapon. How did this happen!
