At the time of the spree, Neal had been freed on [[Bail in the United States|bail]] pending trial for two alleged [[felonies]], and five alleged [[misdemeanor]]s. Nine months before the shooting rampage, a judge had issued Neal a [[restraining order]] at a neighbor's request and ordered him to surrender his guns. The restraining order expired in September, but was renewed before the shootings. He manufactured the rifle and possessed the handguns in violation of that restraining order. At least one unregistered semi-automatic [[Ghost gun|homemade rifle]] and two borrowed [[semi-automatic pistol]]s were used. The shootings led to domestic and international debate over the control of homemade guns and gun-licensing law in the United States.
