This happened in my area yesterday [View all]

Very scary .......

This man, whom authorities described as "troubled" and "seeing ghosts" ..... shot a utility worker yesterday, claiming that he believed people were eavesdropping on him through the utility company.

What's really frightening is that this guy, who has been jailed 14 times since 1997 for theft and making terroristic threats, and is also on disability .... was able to get his hands on numerous guns, which were in his vehicle, along with armor-piercing ammunition! According to the article, police are investigating how he was able to get his weapons, since he isn't allowed to have them. !!!

We MUST do a better job keeping death weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill!
