(2,699 posts)Let me posit that he was not evaluated. He was both suicidal and homicidal, there was either no diagnosis or an incorrect diagnosis.
The process had failed him. He most likely would have first been seen by a medic or nurse, who would then determine what to pass on to a primary care doctor. The PCP (primary care physician) would then follow the same assessment guidelines and refer him to the Behavioral Health Program. Once again an assessment would made and a determination of a course of action would follow. It turns out he was suicidal. It turns out that there were 7 people nearby whose lives meant nothing to him. Anyone capable of purposely creating a potentially fatal event in the presence of innocents is homicidal and the fact that his death was from a self-inflicted gunshot and not from an error in judgement in attempt to escape the carnage makes him suicidal as well.
I'm sorry, you can tell me all day long that he wasn't homicidal or suicidal. I won't believe it.
