Gunman's family 'appalled' by California rampage

Source: Associated Press

Updated 2:22 am, Wednesday, November 15, 2017

The mother of a gunman who shot 14 people, killing four, during a rampage in Northern California said he called her a day earlier and told her that he was finished feuding with the small rural community where he lived.

"Mom it's all over now," Kevin Neal's mother said he told her in their final conversation. "I have done everything I could do and I am fighting against everyone who lives in this area."

Neal's mother talked to The Associated Press by phone from Raleigh, North Carolina, where she lives and where Neal grew up before moving to California, where he was working as a pot farmer and had recently married his longtime girlfriend before he died in a shootout with police on Tuesday.

The mother asked that only her first name, Annie, be used because she feared for her safety. She was unaware of her son's role in the rampage until contacted by AP.

While I know this is not something the majority of very good, sane men want to discuss, we NEED to.

Sad, but true. Something parents and educators should consider when they are young.

said this was all about revenge . His family was shocked but he is white so let the excuses begin !
And to paint people who have been abused as 'usually 'doing something or 'often ' becoming violent is not cool either .
Where is the background about the abuse he suffered haven't seen it anywhere ?

Have you EVER known someone who sought extreme revenge who was not motivated by the belief that they were severely wronged and who took no responsibility for their own fate?

You missed my point entirely. Just because someone tells THEMSELVES they've been wrongfully treated or abused does not mean that they WERE.
