Is it my imagination, or is there a story like this where authorities knew something about the suspect, or the suspect had a bad past, and not a thing was done about it?

Family of 6-year-old who shot Newport News teacher releases statement

Start getting your affairs in order, because you’re about to do some jail time for that gun.

**** these “responsible” gun owners.

Still no explanation for how he got the gun

This:

In the family's Thursday statement, they said the gun was secured.
"Our family has always been committed to responsible gun ownership and keeping firearms out of the reach of children," they wrote

Doesn't cut it.

If it was secured and out of his reach, then the only logical explanations are someone gave him access or he broke open a lockbox or whatever, which means regardless of being a six-year-old, he knew what what he was doing and it wasn't an accident he happened to come across it.

Not really the family's statement.

Family lawyer's statement.

If we can charge Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter, we can certainly bring a charge against responsible gunmom.

While I understand the sideways comment here about the early rush to racist judgment on social media, I'm not sure it's supergood news a mentally unstable 72-year-old enraged by jealousy was able to get his hands on a 9mm high-capacity semi-automatic machine pistol.
