Arriola went AWOL to Mexico during his time in the Marine Corps and was discharged as a result. The aircraft technician had never been deployed.<\/p>\n
[Deputy District Attorney Keith] Watanabe said Tuesday that Arriola had deserted the military in 2016, fleeing to Mexico. In 2017, he returned to the United States, turned himself in and was arrested by the military, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
He also said Arriola\u2019s diagnosis of schizophrenia was made after his return from Mexico.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear how he was able to purchase a gun legally in California in May. Watanabe said the gun dealer did not have access to military records.<\/p>\n
He said it appeared that Arriola lied on the application, which asks if the buyer has been diagnosed with a mental illness. \u201cWe don\u2019t believe he would have been allowed to purchase a firearm had those questions been answered truthfully,\u201d the prosecutor said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Oh, goodness, a crackpot was able to lie on his ATF Form 4473? Who knew that could happen? In California?<\/p>\n
On the afternoon of the shooting, Rideout had just arrived home from work at the hospital at Camp Pendleton. Still wearing her uniform, she started to take her puppy for a walk when she was ambushed steps from her front door, Watanabe said.<\/p>\n
The assailant emptied a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson five-shot revolver, shooting Rideout three times in the chest and twice in the head. As she struggled through her last breaths, the gunman prevented bystanders from helping her, the prosecutor said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Arriola claimed that Rideout was trespassing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
