Many times when there is a shooting incident in the U.S., neighbors and friends will respond with a comment along the lines of, “He always kept to himself,” or “We never would have suspected him.”
But according to documents released Tuesday, California gunman Kevin Neal – who was fatally shot by police after killing five people Nov. 13-14 — was not one of those people.
Over the past year, Tehama County sheriff’s deputies received 21 calls – either from Neal or his neighbors – in relation to chronic feuding on their street in Rancho Tehama, a small town in Northern California.
According to the documents, Neal and his wife told police their neighbors were cooking methamphetamine.
The neighbors said Neal punched a female neighbor in the face, repeatedly shot his gun and, in January, stabbed another woman neighbor who he believed was poisoning his dog.
