2 From Skidmark’s Daily Mail article:

The suspect who killed two people at a Minneapolis apartment complex on Wednesday was undergoing eviction proceedings after he made terrifying threats to neighbors before the shooting.

Carlton Johnson II, 35, received an order to leave his ninth-floor unit at Loring Towers back in June but was fighting it, court documents obtained by the Daily Mail reveal.

The filings brought to light Johnson's violent history and detail how he assaulted another resident.

Johnson - who has been identified by multiple reports as the shooter, though police have not officially identified the suspect - also threatened to kill someone months before he allegedly shot up the building.

His erratic behavior apparently started back in January, when property managers claim he disturbed the peace by getting into a loud argument and repeatedly knocking on a neighbor's door.

Then on March 23, Johnson assaulted a resident on the premises of the affordable housing complex and by June he started openly carrying a gun.

The final straw apparently came on June 11, when Johnson was seen walking around the complex with his firearm and entered the management office, where he allegedly waved the gun in front of multiple management personnel, the complaint reads.

That same day, Johnson allegedly told other residents that he obtained a new gun and 'would kill someone.'

Two days later, Johnson was also seen flashing his gun to others on the sidewalk.

That is a sign you are already in the weeds. Additional festivities are just gravy on top.
