I do have to question, however, why this mother had these guns in her house with a volatile child living there. She took him out of the school system and home-schooled him because he was not able to work socially within the school system. Children with aspergers can be very emotionally unstable. Yet one report said she took him to target practice with her.
Also... where did these deadly explosive bullets come from? If the mother just had these guns because she enjoyed target practice, why would she have these kinds of bullets? And if she didn't, and the kid obtained them somewhere, where and how?
Just my questions.

I'm sure not all asbergers syndrome people are exactly the same.
He seems to have been an extreme case. We know an adult with it and he's just a bit socially inept....but still a good soul.....tries really hard to interact and is extremely helpful to the immediate family. Does try to show respect. Again, they are all different. Many can be brought out of their "shell". It depends.
I also have two autistic neices who are mutes. There is a wide spectrum "under" the autism umbrella. Not all are violent. What I've noticed with mine is that they do not grasp the little things.......they see things in a certain way........but not all the fine details. Hard to explain.
I totally agree with you on the guns in the house, under the same roof with a known problem son. The last thing I'd be doing re home schooling would be target shooting. Unfortunately,her choices led to her own death as well as the senseless death of innocents.
Anyone looking at the photos of those beautiful little angels and not shedding a tear.......is unfeeling..............like the killer was. I've heard he couldn't feel pain. The entire scenario is very sad.
