ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia sheriff’s report obtained by The Associated Press on Friday reveals that a teacher accused of firing a gun in his classroom had his guns taken away after setting his family car ablaze two years ago.
The report says deputies brought him to a hospital for a mental evaluation and seized three rifles for safe-keeping after Jesse Randal Davidson torched the Mitsubishi Outlander on Aug. 13, 2016.
This latest report shows he was hospitalized at least three times as people worried about his state of mind.
Davidson allegedly fired a handgun out his classroom window at Dalton High School on Wednesday. No one was hit, but it caused chaos.
The additional details about Davidson’s past run-ins with law enforcement emerged as the school reopened Friday.
