FAMILY, EX-GIRLFRIEND WEIGH IN
Josh Xaver of Indiana, who described himself as the suspect's father, said he was heartbroken for the victims.
"He wasn't raised to be like this. He's always been a good kid. He's had his troubles," he told CNN. "But he has never hurt anyone ever before. This is a total shock."
Alex Gerlach, who identified herself as Xaver's former girlfriend, told WSBT he "always hated people and wanted everybody to die."
"He got kicked out of school for having a dream that he killed everybody in his class, and he's been threatening this for so long, and he's been having dreams about it and everything," she said. "Every single person I've told has not taken it seriously, and it's very unfortunate that it had to come to this."

Congress people should give Trump a little money to build a wall around Indiana.

Last year more than 50 people were murdered by domestic right wing terrorists. No one was murdered by Muslim terrorists.
Looks like 2019 is off to a roaring start by the RW extremists.

people walking into their bank with guns. Felt very sorry for them. He could very well be an incel, hater of women or just someone who hates banks and the employees are mostly women. I have my suspicions he is a woman hater.
