“He had been experiencing hallucinations and acted on his delusional belief that he was under attack and that his family had been killed,” a police statement said. “His family didn't know he was the person who made 911 calls or released the weapons, so we found him hiding on the floor inside their home.
When officers responded to the house, Salinas saw him walking down the nearby street and being taken into custody. He claimed he was wearing a ballistic vest, but that was false, police said.
Authorities have discovered multiple firearms and ammunition. Salinas' family was unharmed and the damage caused by the gunshot was limited to the property, police said. They were unaware that Salinas called 911 and fired the weapon, authorities said.
After taking fingerprints, authorities eventually learned that Salinas was an illegal Mexican citizen in the United States.

“The fact that no life was lost in this incident is evidence of the skills and discipline of our first responders,” said Brooks Williams, Mayor of Ferris. “This morning we thank God for not being hurt and give him his favor over all the officers involved.”
“But we cannot ignore what this situation reveals. Those without legal status who previously flagged ice were still here and had access to deadly weapons,” Williams added. “It's not just a local issue, it's a systematic obstacle.”
Salinas was handled by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2013, at which point a detainee was placed on him.

“We are a country of law. When someone who already has detainees placed on ice can stay in the country, get firearms and walk freely to the neighbourhood with a gun, it's a failure of enforcement.” This has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with protecting people. ”
