The gun-toting Michigan maniac who killed five people before turning up dead Friday had a history of domestic abuse and was locked in a bitter divorce battle, court records show. Chad Hickman’s final social media posts blasted his ex-wife’s “b–lshit” allegations amid their failing marriage, which included her reporting to police his history of child abuse. The details of the case aren’t entirely clear, but Hickman, 39, was sentenced to a year in jail after being convicted in 2024 of fourth-degree child abuse and contributing to delinquency of children in connection with a 2010 criminal case, according to court records.
