MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) - A man who went on a deadly shooting rampage with two high-powered assault rifles was supposed to have surrendered his firearms after being convicted of domestic assault, authorities said Wednesday.
But because Jason Hamilton's conviction was a misdemeanor, parole or probation officers were not required to search his home for prohibited weapons, Assistant Moscow Police Chief David Duke said.
The 36-year-old janitor fatally shot himself in a Presbyterian church early Sunday after killing his wife, a police officer and a church sexton, wounding three other men and pumping more than 100 bullets into a county courthouse, authorities said.
