Police were called to the killer's home 36 times in 6 years.

- A report from a 2016 incident indicates “He had been cutting his arms, his mother said, to get attention, as he learned it from an ex-girlfriend,” deputies said. “He has mentioned in the past that he would like to purchase a firearm.” The therapist on scene, Jared Bienenfeld with Henderson Mental Health, and the deputies concluded there were “no signs of mental illness or criminal activity.”

- He was expelled from his school due to violent threats, and when in school he wasn't allowed to carry a backpack.

- Multiple students reported that they believed the killer could/would act upon his threats.

- He was medicated for behavioral issues, had sought treatment at a mental health clinic, and had experienced the death of his adopted mother late last year.

- After his mother's passing, he moved into the home of a family friend. Knowing his troubled past, they still allowed him to purchase and store a firearm.

- His social media profiles were littered with violent content, and he made a threat online that was "investigated" by the FBI.
