This daughter called out Trumpsters, Q anon, etc, more than what this article says. Said to watch people with these conspiracy theory’s and get them help.

Daughter: Walled Lake man fell into conspiracy rabbit hole before shooting family


Daughter: Walled Lake man fell into conspiracy rabbit hole before shooting family​

Walled Lake — A Walled Lake man whose daughter said had been struggling with mental issues after embracing conspiracy theories was fatally shot by police Sunday after he allegedly shot and killed his wife and injured another daughter.

According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, police received a “chilling” 911 call at 4:11 a.m. Sunday from a 25-year-old woman who said her father had shot her and killed her mother, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. She was so distraught she could not give an address other than Glenwood Court, authorities said.


Walled Lake police and sheriff’s deputies were talking to a neighbor when they heard a gunshot from the house next door, in the 1200 block of Glenwood Court.

Officers were moving toward the house when Igor Lanis, 53, came out the front door with a shotgun and started shooting at officers, Bouchard said.

The officers returned fire, killing Lanis, Bouchard said. No officers were injured.

When they went into the house, they found Lanis’ daughter trying to crawl out of the house, Bouchard said. She had been shot with a shotgun in the back and legs.

Her 56-year-old mother was dead inside the home, Bouchard said. She had been shot at least four times with a handgun.

Police, who do not know what led to the shooting, did not identify the victims. But the suspect's daughter, Rebecca Lanis, told The Detroit News that they were her mother, Tina Lanis, and sister, Rachel Lanis.

The family dog also was shot multiple times and killed.


Rachel Lanis was in stable condition after suffering “super traumatic injuries” to her back and legs. A neurologist was called in to assess the condition of her legs.

Rebecca Lanis blamed her father's mental health on his recent online interest in extremism and conspiracy theories.

"I think that he was always prone to (mental issues), but it really brought him down when he was reading all those weird things on the internet," Lanis said.

Igor Lanis had no criminal history and there was no record of protective orders, Bouchard said. He apparently had been “more agitated” than normal in the past year.


Rebecca Lanis said after President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, her father started falling deeper into "crazy ideas" online, including QAnon conspiracy theories about Trump and vaccines.

"Nobody could talk him out of them," she said.

The Walled Lake family's life used to be "perfect," said Rebecca Lanis, who missed the shooting by "dumb luck" because she was at a friend's house for a birthday.

In a post on the QAnonCasualties subreddit page, Rebecca Lanis said her parents were "extremely loving and happy people" when she was growing up.

"It's really so shocking but it really can happen to anybody," Lanis told The News on Sunday night. "Right-wing extremism is not funny, and people need to watch their relatives and if they have guns, they need to hide them or report them or something because this is out of control."

It was Walled Lake Police Department’s first shooting by an officer in the history of the department, Bouchard said.

“I think there was danger to anybody,” Bouchard said. “He had his keys with him so who knows where he was headed. ...This is terribly sad on so many levels."

Notice except for referring to "Right Wing Extremism" one can't tell what exactly his beef with his wife was.

The decedent father COULD be a Biden Liberal. He armed himself on Biden's recommendation did he not?

Sadly. I think not.

Moderation is recommended in all things of course.

I give up.
I read so many stories of people killing their families and themselves all the time. Most I don't post, it's just too much.

But I will say these people are not (mostly) conspiracy nuts. They are deeply troubled people for other reasons, which we'll never know, but it's not conspiracies.....

:(

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
It truly is insane, on the surface level of insanity, and the sheer numbers of insanity. One, two, three, over a lifetime maybe.......psychotropic drugs......

Consider the sheer number of drugs advertised on tv with the disclaimer, “suicidal thoughts may occur”... Side effects my ass.

Is this the conspiracy theory he acted on.....making it a conspiracy fact? chicken-egg

The daughter most likely doesn’t have a clue why he did it ... as she wasn‘t there. She also said he had mental issues. But took the opportunity to lambast a whole group of people about something she knows nothing about.

Seems she failed in her own advise

Well it’s not … it actually happened close to where I live. Been on the news all day yesterday and today. Unless of course you’re suggesting it was something else …

So, it sounds like the above daughter must be a Biteme, left wing, antifa, blm type of person.
uhhh, I hope the father doesn’t have TB2000 web site membership!:eek:

#1) Was he vaxed?

#2) What are “super traumatic injuries” as compared to traumatic injuries?

It was done with a gun. By a crazed Trump supporter. They are running with the conspiracy story all over the news tonight. With no other explanation why he did it. Other than the daughter who set the stage for them.

Wonder if he has an Alexa in his bedroom? Or sleeps with his phone close by? Subliminal/subconscious messages are a real threat. My theory about the school shooters and mass attacks on other humans...just my 2cents.

Maybe I'm out of touch with society and the 20-somethings regarding technology, but if my mother and dog were just murdered, my sister shot, and then father killed in a police shootout, my first inclination would not be to hop online and start posting about it unprompted. Maybe if her social life was limited to only online I would understand, but she missed being a victim because she was fortunate enough to be socializing outside of her home.
I'm not questioning the veracity any of the details of the shooting or even the details about her father, it's the daughter's response to the whole ordeal that seems off. Maybe some people need to grieve differently I guess.

Or if he was a ” right wing extremist” as the daughter labeled her father … and she directed her comment at millions of the population … why didn’t he wait until she came home? Seems like she was on his list by her explanation of why he did it. Again she wasn’t there and all. She sure has a harsh opinion that she‘s putting out as … the truth. And the media is preaching it.

I live in Walled Lake, about 1 1/4 miles from where this happened. Just shows that even in smaller towns, you have to expect the unexpected. I was wondering what happened when I noticed the homicide icon nearby on crimemapping.com

We've seen ample proof that the DoJ and biden cabel et al have put a target on conservative "conspiracy theorist" wrong thought republican's back and seek to make these associations, while openly setting up the rules, laws, and public opinion to make it a criminal, and ultimately a killing, offense. So yes, each and every opportunity will be amplified and the cray crays and the true believrs will run around :hof: crying out that the sky is falling and it's all because of orange-man-bad and the rest of us deplorables and our wrong thought.

Having said that though, I've worked with more than one community who's buried children that their parents have killed, after the parents' mental illness has been triggered, amplified, or kicked into activity by the Q and similar rabbit hole fodder.

Don't for one second think just because the former is true, the latter must be a lie. First of all, life doesn't work that way, nothing is black and white, it's all shades of grey, and the sooner we up our games to accomadate that fact, the sooner we might make a dent in the overriding madness that has become the norm. Secondly, of course, is that there is a special kinda pain watching child sized coffins lowered into the ground, and we probably want to take into account just how badly our social fabric and support systems have been rent, and come to understand that if we want the most vulnerable amongst us to have safety nets, it's up to us to create- to BECOME- them.

Daughter is just mouthing the Demonic Joe Show from last week. She has a couple of marbles that are lose in her head. Could run in the family.
Fathers first name was Igor. Sounds Russian or possibly Ukrainian to me.

Ding Ding. Ill further emphasize ("It's really so shocking but it really can happen to anybody," Lanis told The News on Sunday night. "Right-wing extremism is not funny, and people need to watch their relatives and if they have guns, they need to hide them or report them or something because this is out of control.")

I am seeing alot of reference and chatter about this being unrelated to Q, Maga, Trump, etc, but the that the dems and deep state are not ones to pass up an opportunity. The story is off and the timing is perfect, and coincides beautifully with the push for and crackdown on "mis/disinformation" concerning such "right wing conspiracy theories", and also red flag laws. Two birds with one stone. Not only is there more necessity to crack down on the truth, but now those who know the truth need to have their guns taken.

The daughter is 21, and other comments are referencing the "sleep over". Sleep over and 21 year olds usually dont go together. Also, she is now the "victim" of the eeeeebil ultra maga trump qtard domestic terrorist extremists, which may also translate to tv shows, interviews, $$$ etc. Its a win win win for all the dirtbags involved

Pictures of the family here and more screeching by the daughter. I'm not posting her crap:

Apologies for the thread drift...
I know we now live in a "global society" because of the internet, but I find it slightly amusing that DailyMail consistently has the most detailed articles (biased or not) compared to anything put out here in the US. It seems that all American news is flyover journalism or AI generated pieces with almost ZERO details I.e. "Local person found dead. Discovered a week ago. ID withheld pending family notification"
