In an interview, Bradford Glendening , Johnson’s lawyer said his client had pleaded for help with mental illness as he was “highly unusual”.
Glendening added: “I’m sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit.”
A friend of Johnson who wished to remain anonymous said to Fox News that the ex-soldier had made some bad friends after his return from Afghanistan and had gone all “Black Panther”.
“He did have some anger issues,” the friend stated, “but never said he would hurt anyone.”
A Tweeter user shared munched photos of Micah’s Instagram in which he predicted his death and spoke about his plans.
