“When they had him in possession of a weapon, they should have given him jail time. Maybe they could have evaluated him then,” Timothy McRae told The Post.
Michigan State University gunman Anthony McRae struggled with “paranoid schizophrenia,” according to his uncle.
“When they had him in possession of a weapon, they should have given him jail time. Maybe they could have evaluated him then. Former warehouse worker Anthony — who went on to shoot eight students in two MSU buildings on Monday — eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor gun charge which didn’t bar him from owning weapons.Had be been convicted of a felony, Ingham County Prosecutor John Dewane told the Washington Post “Mr. McRae would have been barred from legally purchasing, owning, or possessing a firearm.”
Timothy said: “We are sorry for the loss of life, but at the same time mental illness is real. When the cops come in contact with people who shouldn’t have firearms and they have a chance to evaluate them, they should evaluate them instead of giving them probation and putting them back on the street.
