Yesterday, June 10, was also the birthday of Joshua Higbee. A loving dad & family man, he was known for doting on his young son. Taken from a 4-year-old son & fiancée who he treated like a Queen, Josh worked long hours as a welder at the Excel Industries plant. 
When he wasn’t working or spending time w/family, Josh enjoyed fishing. Adopted at 6 after a difficult early childhood, Josh grew up to become a loving, caring & hardworking man. Known for putting his handyman skills to work throughout the community, Josh was labeled Mr. Fix-It.
The shooter was served with a protective order while at work. 90 minutes later, he killed his first victim. He ultimately killed 3 people—random co-workers, senselessly killed because a dangerous, violent man was allowed to possess a gun despite an imminent threat.
An additional 14 people were injured in the attack including 5 who were in critical condition. A responding officer killed the attacker.
The killer was a convicted felon. He obtained an AK-47 semi-automatic rifle and a Glock semi-automatic handgun through an illegal straw purchase at a local pawn shop. On paper the guns were sold to an ex-girlfriend.
