Maine is not used to homicides, they have a relatively low crime rate, but this looks dreadful. The shooter has yet to be captured.

The killer was described as a "firearms instructor with a history of mental health problems". Guess the clues are all right there.

    You can't take a mans Guns away until something like this happens when it's too late.

    You would think that any diagnosis of mental health problems would prompt the removal of any guns, as well as the right to replace them.
    Although I am not sure that this would make a real difference, as guns seem so easy to acquire on the black market.
