SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — There was no warning before Jeremy Goulet flung open his door and opened fire on two police detectives, killing them. But there was more than a decade of signs leading up to the shootings that indicated Goulet was, as his father said Wednesday, a “ticking time bomb.”
The quiet beach town of Santa Cruz was reeling as teary-eyed law enforcement leaders struggled to explain how Goulet, 35, had killed police detectives Sergeant Loran Butch Baker and Elizabeth Butler.

Why is it that he is mentioned as a soldier, yet there is no mention of his military history. He was a failed soldier, dishonorably discharged with a history of sexual issues and anger issues. It does a disservice to mention his being a soldier. Why didn't it say coffee shop worker with peeping tom issues, killed two detectives. Apparently not a thrilling enough headline. Lastly he did not serve in combat, he did not have ptsd. What he did have was a sexual issue.
