A disturbing picture is emerging of the man behind a devastating mass shooting in Michigan, as court records reveal a history of child abuse and a tumultuous personal life. Chad Hickman, the 44-year-old gunman who killed five people on Tuesday, had a troubled past that included allegations of child abuse, according to court documents. Additionally, Hickman was embroiled in a contentious divorce battle with his estranged wife, which sources describe as "toxic." As investigators continue to piece together the motive behind the deadly rampage, these new details raise questions about the potential warning signs that may have been missed.
