Report: Triple homicide suspect had guns taken away in 2008

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.

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