Why did ned kelly shoot people?
Ned Kelly was a bushranger, an outlaw, and often such criminals were supported by friends and family. Ned Kelly had several run-ins with the law, and his family often felt that they were persecuted by the police. This was a common problem among Irish immigrants and ex-convicts. The Kelly gang was formed in response to the bad treatment the Kellys felt they received, and they felt they had nothing to lose by turning to crime.
What were ned kelly's inspirations?
In the new book:
"Australian Bushrangers, the Police, and God".
The issue of Ned and Heaven is explained as accurately as is possible using historical facts of the day.
The book is factual story is about "Australian Bushrangers", including Ned Kelly, who had the opportunity to trust in God, either before, during or after capture. The Australian bushranger may have committed what appear to be dreadful crimes, and as such they became outside of the law of the land. This story is about just a few of these bushrangers, who have had the opportunity to trust in God, either before, during or after capture. Most of these men committed the crime known as 'Robbery Under Arms' and as we have seen from the movie industry, the likes of the story 'Robbery Under Arms' is glamorised to the extent that we cannot but admire their exploits.
This very real and dangerous drama cannot be what it is, or what it was, without acknowledging the valiant and possibly more dangerous part played by the God consciousness, police and troopers, of the day. During a trial of a bushranger a magistrate stated: "Take the case of these constables, were they not brave men also? It is a strange thing that we hear little of the undoubted police bravery, yet, if there is the slightest courage shown by a bushranger, he is lauded as if he were a hero of romance".
The book includes real faith facts of numerous Aussie Bushrangers including Bushranger Power. But I am sure that Ned Kelly is now in Heaven with Christ Jesus, thanks to Ned's confession of faith at the Glenrowan Railway Station.

What happened at the Glenrowan Inn when the Kelly gang arrived?
The Kelly gang had murdered police informer Aaron Sherritt on 27 June 1880, and as a result, they expected a large number of police to travel to Glenrowan by train. When the Kelly gang arrived at Glenrowan, they tried to coerce some of the townsfolk into helping lift the rail tracks, hoping to cause the train to crash and kill a large number of the expected police. Not many of the townsfolk were willing to assist, so the people were rounded up and held in the Glenrowan Inn so that they could not warn the train.
After entertaining the hostages for hours with games and dancing, the Kelly gang allowed the more trusted hostages to go home at nightfall, as the train was running late. Thomas Curnow, the local schoolteacher, was one of those released, and when he heard the approaching train in the early hours of June 28th, he ran quickly to warn of the danger ahead. This gave the police time to prepare. Wearing their famous armour, the Kelly brothers held a shootout with police. Several hostages were injured in the gun battle and two later died from gunshot wounds.

Bushranger, a nice sounding name that gives the impression that he had legitimate employment like a Park Ranger or conservasionist or wildlife and ecology warden. Wrong, wrong, wrong! In Aussie lingo a bushranger is a rustler, a common thief, a highwayman, a common criminal. Ned's legend is a Bonny and Clyde propoganda tale, something like Robin Hood. It is a fabrication that converts a vile murderer into a folk hero. It is nice Hollywood but terrible history.
The question may mean "what was Ned Kelly's occupation before he became a bushranger".
Ned Kelly had no occupation before becoming a bushranger. He was only twelve when his father died, and so he was required to leave school to take on the new position as head of the family, helping out around the family farm. Shortly after this, the Kellys moved to Glenrowan. As a teenager, Ned became involved in petty crimes, regularly targetting the wealthy landowners.
