Gunman’s Family ‘Appalled’ By Rancho Tehama County Rampage

The family of a gunman who shot 14 people – killing four – in Rancho Tehama says he had a violent temper and had no business owning firearms.  Kevin Neal’s mother said he called her a day earlier and told her “it’s all over now.”  Neal’s mother, who would only use her first name Anne, told The Associated Press in a phone interview from her home in Raleigh, North Carolina, that her son was frustrated by constant feuding with his neighbors and told her “I’m on a cliff and there’s nowhere to go.” She said she posted bail in January after her son was charged with stabbing one of the neighbors. His sister told The Associated Press she believes her brother was addicted to drugs. Sheridan Orr said she had not talked to her brother in months and was appalled when she heard about the shooting.
