The woman put her hands up, thinking her husband would pull the trigger, however, he left the room, and she heard him crying downstairs.

While police were speaking with the woman and Burns was inside the home, a SWAT team arrived at the residence.

The woman told police Burns was prescribed three antidepressants that he hadn’t been taking for several months, court records said. She also said Burns allegedly talks about killing people he hates, and he keeps weapons around him at all times.

An officer at the scene was able to speak with Burns and told him he was a combat veteran like Burns, and he was there to help. Burns allegedly responded that “he has killed a lot of people and liked it,” court documents said.

A consent-to-search form was obtained and police searched the home for weapons and allegedly found an AR-15 rifle on the couch of the living room, a 9 mm handgun on the floor in front of the couch and a 12-gauge shotgun leaning on the arm rest of the couch, court records said. All of the firearms allegedly had ammo in them.

One loaded .45-caliber handgun was found on a couch cushion and another unloaded firearm of the same type was found on the table near the couch, police said. All weapons were confiscated, police added.
