Thanks Missizzy. I've been lurking here for a few weeks, fascinating what you all do here. Such sad stories and the things you guys are doing is just amazing.
If he had for some reason "snapped" then why did he just shoot his grandfather? Wouldn't it make more sense then for him to also shoot his grandmother?
Generally it seems to me that when someone in the family snaps, they go after everyone in the home, and then run away. This boy shot his grandfather, then goes to his grandmother and lays the gun down on the floor? Why does he feel the need to let his grandmother know he has done this?
Why was the grandfather sleeping on the sofa?
Why was the grandmother with the boy and not her husband, most times it seems loved ones have to be pulled off someone they've just lost.
I'm not saying the grandfather did something wrong, I just have questions about things that to me stand out as being off.

He made some mention of voices in his head and also discussed split personalities at one point.

told police he also thought about smothering him with a pillow or stabbing him with a knife that he had pulled out and set aside.
he was overcome with both suicidal and homicidal thoughts in the early morning hours the day he allegedly shot 69-year-old Jesse Miles.
When it came time to pull the trigger, Eliason later told police: "Apparently, I wasn’t ready to go. So it was homicide."
"For five seconds I felt like nothing can hurt you," Eliason was quoted as saying on a tape recording with police played at court today. "And all the tension goes away."
Eliason, who did not speak in court today, also allegedly told police the morning of the shooting that he "at one point" thought about shooting his grandmother as well.
Although the preliminary examination provided a look into the incident, it still did not answer, perhaps, the key question — why he singled his grandfather out. Eliason, according to the tape recording, mentioned multiple personalities and voices in his head at the time of the shooting and said he was fighting good and bad.
