Report: Triple homicide suspect had guns taken away in 2008

Updated 10:39 pm, Wednesday, March 16, 2016

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A man accused of fatally shooting three people at his Milwaukee apartment complex this month had two firearms confiscated from him in 2008 after he said he sensed demons and witchcraft in his mother's house.

But Dan Popp petitioned to have his guns released, and the firearms were turned over to his brother six months later, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1pMaZhP ) reported.

Investigators would not say if a rifle and a handgun found at the triple homicide were the same guns confiscated from Popp.

Eight years ago, Greenfield police took a Bushmaster assault rifle and a 9 mm handgun from the home Popp shared with his mother. Popp was taken to Milwaukee County's Mental Health Complex on an emergency detention in February 2008.
