Police officers responding to a 911 call for assistance found the bodies of 74-year-old Dennis Kraus and 73-year-old Letha Kraus at their home in Grand Chute about 11:30 a.m. Sunday, Officer Travis Waas said. He declined to release details of the call. Kraus was being held in the Outagamie County Jail and has not yet been charged. Police said in a news release that he could be charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide. Each charge would carry a life sentence. An initial court appearance was set for Tuesday afternoon.

Grand Chute, a city of 22,000, lies about 110 miles northwest of Milwaukee. Neenah, home to 26,000, is about 15 miles south of Grand Chute.

The first thing investigators need to ascertain is his mental health condition. Is he taking depression drugs? Children who have been forced to take those drugs have been committing suicide and doing murder without knowing what they are doing. There is a study about that.

NRA

He’s a good looking guy, who just looks troubled, I bet if a gun wasn’t handy he could have gotten through this period. It takes only seconds to grab and fire a gun, but its aftermath is eternal.

The NRA will say “just buy more guns.” More guns = more gun violence. GunReformNow

Why does the media keep giving these shooters fame by showing their faces and giving their names?

HelpUsGod!!!

Is he an ilegal? NO

Reinstate the 'Death Sentence' and the 'electric chair', that will make potential murderers to think first before committing to murder.

Probation?

No a mentally unstable white guy. Imagine that. Trump probably wants to get the islamic terrorists who illegally crossed the southern border to murder that kids grandparents. At least our fearless leaders on the case. Unfortunately its a case of some kind of drug Adderal maybe ?

Astartiel So what went so wrong in this young persons life, that for all practical reasons is now over!

janet_yackle Notice: Young, white, male. Domestic terrorism. Not brown. Not an immigrant. Not MS13. GunSense

janet_yackle Very sad, now which caravan is he from?

Seajay603 They ran out of cheese curds again! FuckTheNRA

Mexican?

TIA_EWING I certainly think he has been taken to Professionals Clearly, this story... Is heartbreaking. Prayers to lift ... All family & friends.

A lost soul.

BUILD THE WALL!!!! Oh...

Maganationalist?

If he is 17 why are they showing his face?

Seajay603 White domestic terrorist.

These guys are week minded, easily swayed to the rough and tough groups nra etc... that make themselves feel like a real man but without the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Early intervention may have helped but of course America can't afford that.

Looks white to me.

This is not only a terrorist thing but a poor lack of parenting and maybe a possible result in bullying. Either way his dumb self wont last in prison

'cause harm'? Is there a reason for understatement or is this from a newbie writer?

Where was he radicalized?

Is he one of the 'bad hombres' that came across the border in this caravan?

another satisfied NRA customer.

But we worried about people crossing the border when we should be fearful of those BORN within it

He's not a Hispanic He's not an immigrant He's not a Muslim HE IS A CAUCASIAN-AMERICAN BORN AND RAISED IN THE UNITED STATES. But hey, brown and black people are the problem. 🙄

Another would be terrorist

Oh, let me just guess the GOP position: 'It's too soon to talk about gun laws...' GunControlNow

Just another mentally disturbed kid right? 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️ We have been ignoring a growing problem in this country.. but the wall! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Where was he radicalized?

Our children are in need. The adults need to get their face out of their phone and start enter acting with the children person to person. The gun laws must change along with the rhetoric coming out of our Governments mouth and the unacceptable behavior. We will loose our children

This is why we need a wall!

GD!!!!! Life blown!¡!!!! For what¿

A radical terrorist

So, more 'thoughts & prayers' to solve the issue, right?

We didn’t have this problem when we had prayer in schools said the pledge In schools and when teachers and parents were able to punish children. Thank you democrats for removing these

This is not the caravan. This is not an asylum seeker. This is an ignored pattern.

These TERRORISTS continue to get younger.

Is he a Muslim or a gang member from mexico or is he home grown? Let me guess

Tragic. God bless his grandparents and I'm glad the authorities stopped him before it got worse. Now, where was he radicalized? Where did he cross the US-Mexico border? We have a problem in this country and we cannot blame immigrants for it.

Why?

😡😡😡😡😡

He deserves a bullet.

Waiting for someone to blame the gun and White Nationalism. MentalHealthMatters

Where do these terrorists keep coming from?

Lousy grandkid.
