Anyway, the Sheriff confirmed that the Rite Aid shooter's family had been increasingly concerned about her erratic behavior for weeks. He did not say whether they contacted LE about it, but I won't be surprised if they did.
So many of the recent mass shootings have been carried out by people who'd been reported as threats (often multiple times), but LE didn't or couldn't legally do anything to forbid them from having guns. That needs to change.
I'm interested to know if there's any effort to get the "Red Flag" federal law which Trump previously supported passed. I doubt it, but hope so. I don't agree with Trump that due process should be waived, but I do support having a law which will allow LE to take guns away from reported dangers to society (with a very quick sign-off of probable cause by a judge).
