Police ID victims, believe J.T. Ready to be shooter in Gilbert incident

Posted: Wednesday, May 2, 2012 2:53 pm | Updated: 5:01 pm, Thu May 3, 2012. 

Tribune

Prominent East Valley political figure J.T. Ready is the man police believe
shot and killed four people Wednesday in a Gilbert home before taking his
own life.

Gilbert police believe Jason Todd Ready, 39, was the gunman in the incident
that occurred shortly after 1 p.m. at a home at 530 W. Tumbleweed, near the
intersection of Warner and Cooper Roads.

Ready is a former Marine known for his neo-Nazi ties, as well as for his
efforts in organizing desert militia groups to find illegal immigrants and
drug smugglers. He most recently had announced intentions to run for the
office of Pinal County Sheriff, and previously had run for a Mesa City
Council seat in 2006

In addition to Ready, Gilbert police have also confirmed that Lisa Lynn
Mederos, 46, her daughter, Amber Nieve Mederos, 23, and her granddaughter,
15-month-old Lily Lynn Mederos were among those killed in the shooting. Also
killed was Jim Franklin Hiott, 24, Amber Mederos' fiance.

Police, who arrived in the neighborhood to see Ready's black Chevy Impala
parked with its nose pointed at the front of the house, still are putting
together the pieces of how the day unraveled that shocked what residents
described as a "tranquil" neighborhood, made national news and stirred a
range of emotions from Ready's friends, adversaries and neighbors.

Balafas has said that the evidence points to the shooting being related to
domestic violence. Officers have recovered two handguns and a shotgun.

Sandi Wilder, a neighbor of the home where the shooting occurred at 530 W.
Tumbleweed, said a woman who lived at that residence was the girlfriend of
J.T. Ready.

Wilder's husband, Chip, president of the Lago Estancia HOA, told the Tribune
that over the past few years, he had often seen Ready and a few other men
dressed in full camouflage gear come to the home. He said they always looked
as if they had been in the desert or were part of a survivalist group.

"I'm a little shaken up with what's happened in our neighborhood," Chip
Wilder said Wednesday afternoon. "It's just a terrible tragedy."

"On arrival, officers found several victims within the household," said
Balafas.

Balafas said police believed only one suspect was involved in the shooting,
and was one of the five dead.

"We do not believe there are any suspects at large," he said.

Police were also interviewing someone Wednesday believed to be a witness,
Balafas added.

Lily Mederos was transported to the hospital shortly after police responded
to the home, but was pronounced dead en route. The bodies of the four adults
involved in the incident remained in the home into Wednesday evening as
police waited for the go-ahead to continue investigating.

Assisted by the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Mesa Police
Department's bomb squad and the Department of Defense, police discovered two
handguns and a shotgun inside the residence and two 55-gallon drums
containing an unknown liquid in the backyard that delayed investigators of
going into the home until it was examined as a precautionary measure.

The FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force were at the scene because of the
amount of military-grade munitions found in the house, and chemicals found
in 55-gallon drums in the backyard of the home, Balafas said.

On Thursday, the FBI was continuing to assist Gilbert police in the
investigation.

Authorities close to the case said that Ready's activities had caused him to
be a "person of interest" and on their radar for quite some time and by
closely watching him, they said it wasn't known at this time where it could
lead in the way of his possible involvement with other domestic terrorism
groups.

Investigators obtained a search warrant for the residence and located
hazardous chemicals and military grade munitions. The Gilbert Fire
Department Hazardous Materials Team and the Department of Defense assisted
in removing the items.

Police had cordoned off a large area of the neighborhood surrounding the
home in northwest Gilbert.

Two Gilbert schools were locked down Wednesday, according to a message on
the Gilbert Unified School District website.

At the request of the police department, Gilbert Elementary School, 175 W.
Elliot Road, and Mesquite Junior High School, 130 W. Mesquite, were placed
in a modified lockdown and classes continued inside the schools. People were
unable to enter or leave the building during the lockdown.

Shortly before 2 p.m., Gilbert Police recommended the schools resume regular
activities, an update on the website said. Students at both schools were
never in any immediate danger.

A representative from the district was unavailable for comment.

In a statement issued by Gilbert Mayor John Lewis said, "Our community is
deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life that came as a result of
yesterday's events here in Gilbert. I have the utmost confidence in our
police department's capabilities to handle this ongoing investigation. I
have been so pleased with the cooperation from all local and federal
agencies involved with this matter. We send our heartfelt condolences and
support to the family and friends of those involved and I urge you all to
join together to support our Town during this difficult time."
