He was legally prohibited from possessing a firearm, so...So...seems like the shooter, or at least the person police think is the shooter, is an ex-officer charged with sexually assaulting a minor - https://www.kxan.com/news/local/aust...las-broderick/
I thought the cops were supposed to be the "good guys" with guns, or that they'd at least you know, not let a guy charged with sexually assaulting a child not have access to weapons while he's out on bond, but whatever. I'm all for letting folks out of jail for non-violent crimes while awaiting trial, but given the nature of the charge you'd think there would be some stricter rules around what he's allowed to do/access pending his trial.
