Plano, Texas -- Mass Murder update
![[Image: Screen%20Shot%202017-09-13%20at%206.42.3...et=534-401]](http://www.wfaa.com/img/resize/content.wfaa.com/photo/2017/09/13/Screen%20Shot%202017-09-13%20at%206.42.31%20AM_1505303030570_10878356_ver1.0.png?preset=534-401)
Police have identified the murder victims. RIP.
Meredith's mom, Mrs. Lane, told reporters that Spencer Hight started off as a loving husband. But, he grew more reclusive over the last couple of years and Meredith's parents later learned he had a drinking problem.
Hight lost his job with Texas Instruments in 2015, shortly after the couple purchased a home and Meredith was paying the mortgage (she worked for Coca-Cola) on her own. Mrs. Lane said she learned recently that Hight had gotten physical with Meredith before, but Meredith didn't seek a restraining order when she filed for divorce because she wasn't afraid of him.
Hight's dad also told reporters that his son had a drinking problem. He said he's sorry for what his son did and that the Hight family loved and got along well with Meredith. He knew some of the other murder victims as well.
Thank god the millions of other Americans with drinking problems don't go around shooting scores of people to death. One of the murder victims, James Dunlop, was Spencer Hight's friend who'd served as his best man at the couple's wedding.
Hight reportedly took multiple guns to the scene on Sunday.
