In reply to the discussion: Police arrest ex-girlfriend of gunman in Sikh killings [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)49. He had the gun(s) with him--he used one of them to shoot himself in the head.
From what I understand, she was in possession of a gun as a felon--that was her issue (or the excuse they used to arrest her).
Cook was taken into custody on the grounds that she is prohibited from having a gun as a convicted felon, a federal law enforcement official said. Cook was convicted in 2002 for fleeing and eluding a traffic officer.
Milwaukee police released a statement Tuesday after the arrest of Misty Cook, saying, "In a joint investigation with the FBI, the South Milwaukee Police Department has arrested Misty Cook on the crime of felon in possession of a firearm. Charges will be sought through the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office."
There's no indication Cook was involved with the attack. Much like her ex-boyfriend, according to the Anti-Defamation League, Cook was involved in white supremacy. The ADL has photos of Cook wearing a T-shirt with the name of the extremist right-wing group Volksfront. The group said that Cook had not been involved since 2008.

proper grammar requires using "Dumb" in the same sentence as "White Supremacist"

Nobody can say that. It is impossible to prove that something wouldn't have happened.

That's probably true, but this guy actually bought five handguns in North Carolina.

She very likely wouldn't have been able to become a practicing nurse. Felony convictions are frowned
