On Christmas morning, a man knocked on his family's apartment door wearing a Santa Claus costume and carrying two pistols — one he'd kept for fifteen years. Inside, six people were opening gifts. They let him in. In a city that calls itself the Christmas Capital of Texas, what turns a holiday gathering into a massacre?
