The suspect was found mentally incompetent to stand trial in a 2012 felony assault case that took place at an Austin homeless shelter. He was sent to a mental hospital where he was found competent six months later. He was returned to Travis County for trial but the assault victim couldn't be found so he went free.
Seems the norm after these highly publicized shootings that we now hear of the mental health problems. What can we as a nation really do to fix the mental health system?
No word yet on how he obtained the gun.
