MI - Gunman opens fire at Central Michigan Univ., kills parents James Davis Sr. & Diva Davis, 2018

[enelram]

That's what I was trying to say earlier in this whole thread. I've been in almost this exact situation, including someone thinking I was trying to kill them

Was your situation caused by a drug reaction?
Which drug?

Police: Gun in CMU shooting belonged to suspect's father

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...-shooting-belonged-suspects-father/391875002/

The weapon allegedly used in the shooting is registered in Davis Sr.'s name, Yeagley said, but he could not say whether it was his service weapon.

 

[Elley Mae]

Yeagley told reporters that the gun used in the shooting belonged to Davis Sr. He would not say whether the father had brought the gun to campus when picking up his son, but noted that Davis Jr. was seen on video in the dorm's parking lot with the gun before going into the building where his parents were shot. Yeagley would not say what type of gun was used or whether it was Davis Sr.'s service revolver.

thanks for the update, that's pretty much what I thought. So what hospital did he actually go to, since McLaren denied he was ever there yesterday. Originally they said he got the gun from his dad when they got back to the dorm.....apparently that was not the case?

Gun was the father's.

So his mother agreed with LE who called her when they first saw son Thurs. eve. that it could be 'drugs'.
Did he have previous problem with drugs?
Did he decide to take more powerful drugs and had a bad reaction?
Did he get a hold of a bad batch of drugs laced with other things?
He was 5'10" and only weighed 135 lbs., was he not eating and doing drugs everyday like a friend said?

Pot could be laced with other drugs such as PCP. PCP can create serious mental reaction.

It was caused by meth..

Heavy.com has a long article linking Davis, jr. twitter acct showing he spent summer of 2017 touring Europe, San Diego,
San Francisco and other interesting places. Sounds like he lived a spoiled life. Didn't work, that we know of. Parents
spending a lot on his education. got involved with drugs and boom. His life is gone also.

And you are right, I completely forgot about PCP. That's not really here in CO, but it is popular on the east coast for sure. People get super crazy and violent on that...that would make total sense

 

[enelram]

Yikes, this stuff, mj laced w/ pcp is scarey. Can be catatonic for days after- hears voices directing them to be violent.
Really interesting- and we all thought mj was not harmful.

I think you nailed it.

Mental health related, IMO.......the drugs were his own method of self-medicating. It’s an effort on his part to sooth his racing & crazed mind.

I’d speculate that due to his age and gender, he was at the onset of schizophrenia/schizophreniform mental illness because that’s the reported onset group.

All moo

That’s what I was thinking too. Whatever hospital did not admit him really missed the boat on thus, IMO.

 

[jjenny]

Doesn't sound like he needed to be in the hospital for any physical reasons. His behavior wasn't "logical" so he was taken to the medical center for that. There was a concerned his behavior was due to drugs. Parents picked him up from the medical center. Presumably they were trying to get him help. Not sure how the hospital was supposed to know he would manage to get a gun.

Yeah, but how easy is it to enforce that in reality? Pretty difficult I would imagine. I'm sure there is a penalty if caught, but that's unlikely unless you are waving it around all the time. Why was this student just filming him and not calling 911 if he saw him coming back with a gun?

Who was filming him? Isn't the video from security cameras?

 

[enelram]

No, a student saw him get the gun out of car and filmed him carrying it back into dorm bldg.

Fellow students in same dorm claim they heard 2 gunshots- bang bang.

I can’t believe this. Gun free zone?

In some states you car is considered an extension of your home. The father being LE carried a weapon, but left it in his car. I don’t consider this bringing the gun on campus.

....while parents were in his dorm room Davis, jr. went to the parking lot and got a gun out of his car, came back to his
dorm room and shot father then mother. Another student used his phone to record Davis jr. coming from parking lot w/ gun in his hand.

Forensics on gun match gun used.

From another site, there were at least 2 other students in dorm rm when shooting took place and had to climb over
Davis, sr. who was sprawled across doorway on floor.

Was the gun in the son’s car or the father’s car? Don’t even know if the son had a car. Thanks.

I don’t think this young man was of this world or in his right mind when he killed his mother and father. I believe his discharge from the hospital is a glowing red flag!!!

 

[Elley Mae]

Davis stayed at the hospital until his parents picked him up the next day. The family went to the school's campus to pick up his bags and take him home, Yeagley said.

Surveillance video appeared to show Davis Jr. in the dorm's parking lot with the gun before going into the building where his parents were shot. Following the incident, the 19-year-old fled on foot and ran on railroad tracks. Authorities were able to recover the weapon at the scene.

In this article he does seem completely delusional

[FONT=&quot]"He said someone was out to hurt him, someone was out to harm him," Yeagley said, adding that when officers pressed Davis for more details, he was "extremely vague."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Campus police launched an investigation into the Davis' complaint and even interviewed a man Davis said was armed and wanted to hurt him, but ultimately police decided the man "did not pose any risk to Davis or anyone else."[/FONT]
