* is a nutcase.
The crazy part is that his father, who already knew of his issues, returned this guys firearms to him after assuring authorities he would keep them secured when they came to confiscate them. Not sure how that even works..."oh well in that case sure just keep them"?Apparently the shooter showed up at a public place in his former home town with the same rifle wearing nothing but a pink bathrobe. Sounds like he followed through here on something he had been thinking about for a long time. Hindsight is 20/20 but when I was young, before the big push to close the lunatic asylums, there is a good chance this person would've been institutionalized. At the least, nut jobs should be on public registers just like sex offenders so we can all know the dangers and be aware.
In June 2017, police records state Reinking threatened someone with an AR-15 while wearing a pink dress. After threatening the man, Reinking drove to a public pool and dove in before exposing himself to others at the pool, according to the reports.
Newly obtained Illinois police records also show the suspected shooter thought he was being stalked by Taylor Swift and had previously threatened people with an AR-15 rifle.
This is not the first time Reinking's father returned weapons to his son after concerns about Reinking's state of mind.
When police contacted Reinking's father, the father said "awhile back he took 3 rifles and a hand gun away and locked them up when Travis was having problems. (The father) wanted to move out of state so he gave them back to (Travis) the reports state.
Police told Reinking's father he might want to lock the guns back up until Travis gets mental help which he stated he would."
The next month, Reinking was arrested at the White House.
How did he steal a BMW from a car dealership ? Someone should be getting fired for that
