From another story by same news outlet:

CLOVIS — The teenage boy accused in the deadly shooting at Clovis' public library had been in trouble at school, had recently contemplated suicide and had "anxiety attacks" that resulted in his going home from church on Sunday morning, his pastors said.

Nathaniel Jouett was arrested without incident after police said he opened fire a little after 4 p.m. Monday in the library, killing two people and injuring four more.

Pastors at Clovis' Living Word Church of God said the shooting stunned them because they thought Jouett was making positive strides in recent weeks, following what both described as a "very hard life."

"He started coming to church about 3 1/2 months ago," said Pastor David Stevens.

"My daughter called him and asked if he wanted to hang out."

Stevens said his daughter soon learned Jouett was "laying with a gun at his side and a suicide note in his pocket" as they talked on the phone.

Once Jouett began attending church, he was a regular, often participating in multiple worship services in a week.

"I know that he had been turning his life around," said Living Word's Associate Pastor Bonetta Hutson.

"I know last week ... he was jumped in a bathroom. And then he got into a fight on Friday and was suspended for two days," Hutson said. ...
