A Fort Worth father called police on his 27-year-old son, fearing the man was going to buy a gun and kill people.
The father called police Sept. 3 and said his son had withdrawn money to buy guns. Police have interacted with the man before and know he is diagnosed with mental illness, officials said.
The man was not allowed to buy weapons from several businesses because of his background check, police said.
So we have a prohibited purchaser who has some mental issues, trying to cause harm.
"He made multiple statements to officers indicating he was going to harm people," police officials said.
The man also said he wanted to kill as many people as possible and claimed he planned to travel to the Midland-Odessa area to kill people, police said.
I'm trying to figure out....why are these people targeting Midland-Odessa?
Sounds like the existing system works...prohibited person prevented from purchasing firearms.
