Victor Gomes (Hanford Police Department)
Gomes lost full custody of his son after it was reported in 2016 that he had suicidal thoughts and owned a gun, the captain said. He was ordered to turn over his gun to the Hanford Police Department, which still has the weapon, he said.
The weapon used in Monday’s shootings was a handgun Gomes legally purchased in 2017 after he completed a mental health evaluation and was allowed to have supervised visits with his son, Anderson said.
Wyland’s mother has been notified of her son’s death.
“I can’t even begin to speak on the devastation,” Anderson said.
