There was only a 50% chance at best was ever going to be able to accomplish his evil plan.

Looks like a guy that would take the Cracker Barrel logo very seriously.

According to court documents obtained by local NBC affiliate KTVB, Cornish had been planning to kill his three children and himself for nearly a year – ever since he bought a black 9 mm Hi-Point handgun in September or October 2024. Then Monday rolled around.

… Delbert Cornish reportedly proceeded to cover Hope Cornish's body with a large gay pride flag "as a way to honor her, because it was something that meant a lot to her."

The hours passed, and it is unclear what the suspect did during this time, but when his son arrived home from school, Delbert Cornish is said to have been waiting for him. He asked his son – who is either 14 or 15 – how school was before telling him "he had killed his sister," trying to convince the boy to "check on his sister," but the son refused, the affidavit states.

"Delbert then went to the couch [and] grabbed a gun," at which point his son said he wanted to leave, the affidavit says. But this was reportedly against the alleged shooter's plans.

Delbert Cornish is said to have "shot at the ground," blocked the doorway, and pointed the gun at his son's chest. They fought over the gun, according to the child, with the son eventually winning control over the firearm. The teen then ran away from the house to call 911.


If the kids felt the same way about any alleged bullying they did need him to do this. The son disagreed with this.

Why is it that it didn’t work for the daughter but then went off as soon as he pointed it at himself? He should have bought a Sig P320.

White culture is the most horrendous thing to ever happen to mankind....we really gotta do something about these white folks acting this way....



Horrible. It is absolutely hard to get through a day in this country without hearing about something that just makes you wonder how much longer was can continue as a species. Of course its a money maker for the media but damn do we really need to know whats going on in a horribly dysfunctional home in Mountain Home Idaho????

You never know what is going on in someone's head and then you throw alcohol in the equation then you never know what will happen, however; I can't understand getting to that point.

Has anyone reading this ever been in a state where you had insane thoughts that you could have easily acted on? Because there are certain things that no matter what state I am in I would be aware there are certain things you do not do.

And on top of that, its his own daughter. You have to be in a really dark place.

Hope he gets fricked on the arse all day, every day until he’s snuffed.

He doesn’t deserve to live.

I feel like these people are the ones to worry about. Not the guys who buy a couple guns a year and tinker with them.

No, it was because he wanted to die and thought because his kids were allegedly being made fun of that it would be better if they died with him. The daughter was there and didn’t have a chance, but he had to wait on his son who had a chance to fight back and escaped.

He killed her because he was depressed and suicidal, he lived with his brother who he said was mean to his kids wouldn't take good care of them after he was gone. So he decided to kill his kids and then off hiself, only thing is he chickend out after he shot his daughter.

dude was battling demons and the demons won, sad to hear his daughter had to go through that. Pray for his family.

Could have saved everyone a lot of trouble if he started with himself.
