(11,770 posts)Someone because I was asked to put it out. He had a gun, where did he get it? I hope it wasn't the parent's gun. A kid that angry enough to murder... didn't happen overnight.
Tragic. I am so sorry for the family. Family shattered by horrific violence.

And the people of Polk County LOVE Grady Judd for what he says and does.

(81,515 posts)But by the time Settles father had picked up his daughter from school and returned home, he was informed that his wife had died.
After Settles mother had been pronounced dead, a nurse inspected the body and found what appeared to be puncture wounds.
Judd said the victim had been shot in the heart, stopping it immediately and staunching the flow of blood.
Settle fled but later confessed to investigators that he had shot his mother.

(44,973 posts)He reportedly run away after the shooting. He also gave his guns to a friend. His actions don't suggest he was an individual having a psychotic break.
