COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The man suspected of killing three members of an Ohio family in their home including a 7-year-old boy was investigated six years ago for threatening a mass shooting, according to police records.

Barry Kirk threatened the shooting after getting upset with an employee at the Ohio governor's office in July 2009 over an unemployment claim, the records show.

"I guess I'm going to have to make a big boom or start shooting people," Kirk said, according to a copy of a state police report obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.
