If he did not have a deadly weapon then why was one used on him? We have security to provide physical restrain until the patient can have medical or pharmacological restraint.

This is an insane story. Perhaps if the patient had received appropriate care, the tragedy could have been avoided.

This is outrageous. Patients aren't even safe from violence in hospitals? That officer needs to be charged with attempted murder.

There is no excuse for not seeking information from family in the evaluation of a patient in an emergency situation. There is no excuse for violence in managing agitation.

This act of violence is nowhere acceptable, appropriate in any medical setting!

We all should know family is our best way to get a patients baseline status. It's inexcusable they didn't seek out and listen to his family.

This is an aggregious act against this man. All parties involved (hospital staff & law enforcement staff) owe this man an apology and some heartfelt compassion.

I am not a medical professional, but I don't think you need to be one to determine that this is an outrageous and tragic situation. How low have we sunk as a society to think that shooting someone in distress is OK. I am I'm shocked and disbelief!

Praying for you, your family and all of those affected by this senseless act of violence. May no family ever have to deal with such an injustice in what should be the safe space of a hospital ever again.

Inexcusable. As a psych chaplain I know that there are multiple tools to deal with this

Guns have no place inside hospital psych units. Patients should be safely restrained and then medicated!
