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

[enelram]

I think its a fair guess his parents weren't happy with him. Sounds like issues he was having with his parents were going on for quite a while.

"Sources tell CBS 2 Davis had a strained relationship with his parents and spent the last year of high school living with another family."

Thanks jjenny. Ok I had questioned this previously, why he switched hs for his senior year. Yup, problems were
brewing. So that would make it at least 3 or more years that he may have been screwing off. Wonder how his
grades, behavior, drug habits were during that senior year.
I suspect as he turned 15-16 he started acting out, maybe different type friends, maybe took up drugs. Seems to
be a pivotal time when he started to slide.
To have your son move out of your home shows huge conflicts at home at that time.

A Central Michigan University student accused of shooting and killing his parents on the Mount Pleasant campus has been found mentally fit to stand trial. However, a question of his mental state at the time of the crime still leaves his case in limbo.

Also on Tuesday, prosecutors and defense counsel stipulated Davis return to the center for staff to gauge his potential criminal responsibility.

No new court date is yet set for Davis.

The judge ruled he was mentally ill at the time of the shootings. Not surprising, but so, so sad. He could spend the rest of his life in a psychiatric facility.
