The local paper had a story on the background of the deceased going back twenty years. Father IIRC is a retired Cop. Long history of drug use, forcibly evicted from parent's home in early twenties due to drug use and violence, including towards his mother.
Had even charged a University Cop with a knife more than ten years ago with the stated intention of getting himself shot, and that was just for a noise violation on campus for the sound system in his vehicle.
Had some years previously perpetrated an armed robbery at a McDonald's by climbing through the drive-in window and holding pruning shears to the throat of an employee.
I have no idea what twist of fortune gave this guy a wife and then a child (three weeks old at the time of this incident) but if there was ever anyone determined to f&&k up, it appears to have been him.
That weren't his house, he went off when they told him he couldn't be there.
