Turns out the family asked police to take gun away from St. Louis shooter just days before shooting…

The man who has been identified by police as the gunman in the St. Louis high school shooting on Monday is Orlando Harris, seen pictured below.

This from therightscoop.com.

His family tried to get police to take away his firearm just days before the shooting. Police didn’t take it, but did have it transferred to a third party. Somehow Harris managed to get the gun back before the shooting.

NOTE: Harris was also a mental patient, having been committed by his family several times and who was seeing mental health professionals, according to police.

REMEMBER: The communist party political agenda—of color, liberal, mentally ill, and identified to be at risk are outside the parameters of concern. But getting those guns away from the conservative white extremist legal owners and users is of utmost concern.

Here’s more via the New York Post:

The family of the St. Louis high school mass shooter asked police for help removing the AR-15-style assault rifle from him nine days before the rampage—but [the gun] somehow ended up back in his hands, police said.

On Oct. 15, police responded to a domestic disturbance call at 19-year-old Orlando Harris’ home, where his mother found the weapon and wanted it removed, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Officers determined Harris was legally permitted to have the gun, but transferred it to a third party so it would not remain on the premises, officials said late Wednesday.

Police Sgt. Charles Wall said in a statement:

While it is not yet clear when or how the suspect came to be in possession of the firearm after this incident, we can confirm that the firearm involved in this incident is the firearm used in the shooting Monday.

Police Commissioner Michael Sack said:

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating to track the source of the rifle sale.

Sack added that:

It is difficult to track a gun’s ownership if it has been sold from person-to-person.

Harris left a manifesto-like note in his car before storming Central Visual and Performing Arts High School with the rifle and at least 600 rounds of ammo Monday, killing physical education teacher Jean Kuczka, 61, and 15-year-old student Alexandria Bell.

Seven others were wounded in the bloodbath.

St. Louis Police Commissioner Michael Sack also told reporters:

Harris had been seeing mental health professionals and that his family had him committed several times.

Sack said:

Whenever the family ‘noticed him, kind of, stepping out of line … they always worked to try and get him back on his medication, back into therapy, whatever it is that he needed.

He continued:

Sometimes that’s not enough. Mental health is a difficult thing. It’s hard to tell when someone is violent and going to act out.

I’ve got to give credit to the family—they made every effort that they felt they reasonably could. That’s why the mother is so heartbroken over the families that paid for his episode.

The school building was locked Monday morning and an unarmed security guard saw Harris trying to get in. Sack has declined to say how the gunman forced his way inside.

Officers, some of whom were off-duty, arrived at the scene four minutes after the 911 call, police said. Eight minutes later, they located Harris on the third floor, barricaded in a classroom.

Police said that when Harris shot at officers, they shot back and broke through the door. When Harris pointed his rifle at the cops, they fired several shots, killing him.

We may assume that because Harris is black, the media is no longer interested in the shooting since they can’t claim he’s a white supremacist. Those who may profess black supremacy are outside the AOC (Area of Concern).

According to Newsweek:

In terms of his manifesto, Harris had written about how isolated he felt by the world.

During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department interim Commissioner Michael Sack said:

[A]uthorities found a ‘handwritten’ document in the suspect’s vehicle.

Sack said during the press conference while reading the manifesto that Harris wrote:

I don’t have any friends, I don’t have any family, I’ve never had a girlfriend, I’ve never had a social life. I’ve been an isolated loner my entire life.

What the HELL happened to responsibility and accountability in this communist run hellhole of St. Louis, Missouri?

 

This was the perfect storm for a mass shooter.

 

Final thoughts: Obviously, Orlando Harris was a young man in need of attention, assistance, direction, and to be placed under close observation. ‘I’m lonely’ is “horrific rationale” for a mass shooting.

St. Louis Police Commissioner Michael Sack said, “Mental health is a difficult thing. It’s hard to tell when someone is violent and going to act out.” And in response I say, ‘This country must have national direction that forces law enforcement and mental health to error on the side of caution.’

Two people were killed but the outcome could have been much worse. The shooter was armed with enough ammunition to kill hundreds. Thankfully police got to him before he was able to kill anyone else.
