A Tennessee man went on a violent rampage, murdering his estranged wife, her daughter and three kids after she warned a court he had “50 to 60 guns” and was afraid he would “get drunk and shoot me.”
Officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation told TV station Local 3 that Gary Barnett, 48, who owned the home in Marion County where the shooting took place, was one of the three adults found inside the burning home around 9 p.m. Thursday.
Sheriff Bo Burnett confirmed Barnett, who had worked in the machine tool industry, was the one who shot and killed his wife, Regina, her daughter Britney and her two kids — before turning the gun on himself.
Regina, who worked at the Seymour handle factory, had filed for a restraining order against her husband a month ago, according to court records.
In court documents, Regina wrote: “My soon to be (ex) husband threatened to shoot me and he verbally abuses me every day. He also threatened to shoot my dog.
