“”Records show that McRae was arrested in June 2019 with a suspected loaded firearm in his car.””
Suspected he had a loaded firearm? Evidently it was more than a suspicion if he was arrested, convicted, went to prison....
Why focus on the gun. Focus on the shooter and their background. Were they raised in a single parent family, were they disciplined and taught to value education? Etc.
or...
had a firearm - suspected it was loaded.
