Theater shooter's long history failed gun control test
The Louisiana theater shooter John Rus sell Houser showed deep mental illness long before the 2012 killings. Despite warnings and a Georgia involuntary commitment in 2008 he bought a .40-caliber handgun six years later in Alabama, used to kill two and wound nine before his death. Court records suggest gaps in reporting to federal databases, with officials noting the failure to block his gun purchase.
