I don't need to read the report. He's a convicted rapist, right? So they put two females in charge of him. And since they're women, he had not trouble taking the sidearm from one of them. And he opens up on them.

The Brian Gene Nichols shooting spree started when he attacked the female sheriff's deputy who had charge of him. After he took her weapon, he beat her into a coma.

He then proceeded to murder four people, including the Judge who was going to preside over his trial for rape, kidnapping, and assault. He also murdered the court reporter and two other LEOs.
