Snip.....
Skagit County court records show Cetin has a criminal record that included three domestic-violence assault charges in both Burlington and Island County, with the victim identified as Cetins stepfather. He also was arrested for drunken driving.
Island County District Court records show that Cetin was told by a judge on Dec. 29 that he was not to possess a firearm.
A couple years ago, Marty Baldwin said he allowed the suspected gunman, who was homeless at the time, to move in with him and his wife. But Baldwin kicked him out a few months later after learning the younger man was using and selling drugs, he said

(65,345 posts)6. Turns out his EX-girlfriend used to work there, but had not for some months.
I think what we have is an entitled, controlling, abusive misogynist who targeted women at his ex-girlfriend's place of work because he was p***ed that she was no longer under his control. Maybe he didn't know where to find her, so he shot women in the place he associated with her--and maybe with her independence as a working woman, as well.

Island County District Court records show that Cetin was told by a judge on Dec. 29 that he was not to possess a firearm.
However, Cetins stepfather urged the judge not to impose a no-contact order, saying his stepson was going through a hard time and that he couldnt help him with the order in place

(60,010 posts)7. He's 20 and in High School????
It appears KIRO had access to his court records and so is reporting on his mental health treatment....which should not be public.
HIPPA only covers the provider of services, tho, so I guess court compliance records are open to the media.
