.... Conkey was a former intern and freelance digital producer for NBC San Diego, according to the station, which reported she was also in the U.S. Navy.

She had sent her former employer an email news tip five minutes before entering the church, according to NBC San Diego.

"There’s a woman claiming to be the Messiah, saying she was sent to blow up the foundation of the Church — she’s got a gun and a child is involved. The address is 4350 Mount Everest Blvd San Diego, CA 92117. There are about 70 people in the auditorium of the school where the church service is held," the email read.

And not saying that this applies in this case but another little know adjunct of opioid abuse is drug induced psychosis. Leading to all kinds of bizarre behaviour.

Just something to think about.

I hope they are able to rescue the child and get the woman the help she needs.

And not at all about the woman.

Just hazzarding a guess, given past reactions of right-wingers.
