 Neal  was charged with assault with a deadly weapon against a neighbor in January. Court documents show  he  was subject to a protective order that prohibited  him  from having firearms.  He  was charged with six felonies  including assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an assault weapon.
 His  sister  Sheridan Orr  said  Neal  ânever should have had guns and he shouldâve been able to get mental health care.â
 Neal  was barred from having guns because of a court order issued this year. After  Neal  was arrested in January and charged with assaulting a neighbor with a deadly weapon  a judge issued a protective order prohibiting  him  from having  buying or attempting to purchase any firearms  court records show.
According to court documents  the neighbor  Neal  assaulted sought the protective order and said  he  âattacked me and my mother-in-law stabbing me with a knife and beating her.â In the request  she described  Neal  as unpredictable and angry  writing that  he  physically and verbally attacked multiple members of her household.
 Authorities investigating Nealâs rampage  recovered two semiautomatic rifles that were âmanufactured illegally  we believe by  him  at  his  home â Phil Johnston  an assistant sheriff in Tehama County  Calif.  said at a briefing Wednesday. âSo  they  were obtained in an illegal manner  not through a legal process.â
Johnston did not elaborate on how  Neal  manufactured the guns  but he said: âHe can get parts through a number  a variety of sources  and  they  come together and  they  can build  them  in  their  shop  or  they  can build  them  in  their  garage.â
 Neal  also had a pair of handguns that were not registered to  him   Johnston said.
Police in Tehama County said neighbors had alerted them to sounds of gunfire coming from  Neal âs home in the past but that  he  did not open the door for officers and police did not specify whether those calls came before or after the protective order restricting Nealâs gun access.
