Neighbors recall Meyers as a recluse who never had guests and never spoke to anyone. He would drink alone at a nearby bar and had no known family. Police will later say his apartment contained numerous guns and ammunition.

After setting fire to his apartment, Meyers drives around the corner to John's Barber Shop. He walks in carrying a shotgun and asks the owner, John Seymour, "Do you remember me?" Seymour responds, "Yes, Kurt, how are you?" Meyers then opens fire.
