The 31-year-old Idaho man charged in the killings of four neighbors says he "lost it" after one of the victims exposed himself to his wife and daughters five days earlier. As NBC News reports, Majorjon Kaylor stands charged with four counts of murder in the deaths of his downstairs neighbors Kenneth Guardipee, 65, Kenna Guardipee, 41, Devin Smith, 18, and Aiken Smith, 16. KXLY reports that Kaylor and his wife, Kaylie, reported that Devin Smith was naked and masturbating in front of Kaylie Kaylor and their daughters on June 13; police investigated, but the outcome of that isn't publicly available. On Sunday, another argument broke out over the Kaylors' contention that Kenna Guardipee wasn't taking the situation seriously. Kaylie Kaylor said her husband "said he did what he had to do and to tell their kids he protected them." Kenna Guardipee was mother to Devin and Aiken Smith, and Kenneth Guardipee was her father.

A 31-year-old man is in custody in Idaho after a Father's Day shooting left four people dead inside a residence in the central part of the state. As the AP reports, police responded to a 911 call about a shooting at a multiple-residence unit in Kellogg, a rural town about 36 miles east of Coeur d’Alene, about 7:30pm Sunday night. A neighbor tells KXLY there was an "ongoing dispute between neighbors" at the location. ABC News adds that police believe there is no further threat to the community. As yet, there are no additional details on the victims or the man who was arrested.
The AP notes separately that the Father's Day weekend was deadly in terms of shootings in the US, which saw a state trooper shot to death in Pennsylvania, multiple people firing guns into an Illinois holiday crowd, and bullets flying among teenagers partying in Missouri. This weekend also brought mass shootings in Washington state, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Southern California, and Baltimore (a mass shooting is defined as one that takes the lives of four people, not including the shooter). "There’s no question there’s been a spike in violence," says Daniel Nagin, a professor of public policy and statistics at Carnegie Mellon University. "Some of these cases seem to be just disputes, often among adolescents, and those disputes are played out with firearms, not with fists." More here. (More Idaho stories.)
