Every time there's a mass shooting or a mass killing, you always wonder why didn't someone recognize that the
00:00:08
shooter had a problem, someone in his family, and stop him. Well, there were certainly plenty of signs in Levi King's
00:00:16
background. Levi King was showing antisocial behavior when he was very young. He was setting fires and killing
00:00:24
animals. And he did go to several psychiatric institutions. I'm just going to read a little bit of some things that
00:00:32
appear in his record. Six years before he ever walked into Robin Don's house. Here's one. October 24th, 1999. He tells
00:00:42
doctors that he wants a gun and a pen because he wants to write a suicide note. Levi tells the doctors that he's
00:00:50
hearing voices on the phone that aren't there. He says he's in the hospital because of drug abuse. Asked what drugs.
00:00:57
He replies, "More than you know." This is six years before he goes to Robin Don's home. He is diagnosed with
00:01:05
psychosis, probably manic depressive, manic type. Then November 29th of that same year, he's been hearing voices for
00:01:15
a long time. According to this record, since age 11, he has said he's tried to kill himself several times. And
00:01:23
according to this record, he's still barely able to hold a conversation. And yet later on, he's out. He burns
00:01:31
down a neighbor's home after he burglarizes the house. He's sentenced to 14 years. And despite this whole
00:01:38
background, he's sent to a halfway house just three years into that sentence. And
00:01:45
that's why he's free to be able to go to Robin Don's house, kill her entire family in September 2005.
