Sixteen AK-47 magazines with live rounds, a Glock 26 9mm firearm with a holster, ammunition for various weapons, gun videos and body armor were among the items Carson City Sheriff’s detectives found at the home and in the car of the man who shot 11, killing four, at an IHOP last week.

The list reveals how heavily-armed Eduardo Sencion, 32, was before his attack at the restaurant on Sept. 6. A video of detectives seeking the search warrant that was released Wednesday revealed that Sencion had been diagnosed schizophrenic and was taking medication before the attack.

Sencion was armed with an AK-47-style assault weapon when he opened fire on customers inside the IHOP and businesses outside the restaurant on Sept. 6. He then fatally shot himself in the head.

Among the four dead were three Nevada National Guard members.

    This was reportedly his parent’s home.

    So he was living with his parents, on meds for Schizophrenia with a lifelong history of mental instability, arming himself to the gills.

    Once again, a crazy man with guns, and his family and friends don’t step in. That is criminal in itself.

    No wonder they weren’t home when the sheriff showed up;they weren’t “home” for awhile apparently…
