Loni Merrill, who has known Furrow and his family since the two went to junior high school together, recalls her mother saying just a few months ago, "I really hope Neal doesn't get a gun." He had seemed fine for a while, tending his parents' mobile home and staying there with his mother, who is suffering from the onset of Alzheimer's, whenever his father was away. But then...

Like how easy it is to lose a job because the car broke down and there is no public bus, or because a kid was sent home sick from school and the mother needed to be home too.
