A Utah man who killed seven family members before taking his own life earlier this month had been investigated for child abuse years prior.
Police believe Haight, 42, carried out the shootings two weeks after his wife had filed for divorce and just days after her relatives say he took guns from the house that could have been used to stop him.
Tausha Haight told authorities she didn't want criminal charges filed against her husband and hoped the incident would be “a wake-up call” for him. “Although specifics are not articulated, this conclusion was likely based on an inability to prove each element of the offense beyond reasonable doubt and/or statute of limitations barriers,” the statement said.
