[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 605210, member: 1967"] Steely, I first heard about the medicare running out on our local television news channel and it was also in our newspaper (Atlanta Journal & Constitution) today. I went to find an online link at the AJC but it would only let subscribers view the article. So I googled it and found this news story at [URL="http://magicbaltimore.com/3392438/antoinette-tuff-school-employee-talks-down-would-be-gun-man/"]http://magicbaltimore.com/3392438/antoinette-tuff-school-employee-talks-down-would-be-gun-man/[/URL]. Here is the paragraph that mentions medicare and his medications running out. I am sure you an find more articles if you took the time to search. The newspaper and television stations have been digging into the shooter's background and he has a troubled history and been on and off of medications for years. He was even in a juvenile detention facility but they said ironically it was one of his more stable periods because he was getting his medications. He didn't have a stable family life either. His dad left them years ago and his mother spent time in jail. Obviously, he didn't have many advocates for getting proper treatment for his mental health issues. I read for the first time today what the bookkeeper actually said and did during the crisis and I have to say that I am in awe of this woman. I know that I wouldn't have been able to handle the situation like she did. The school where this happened was on the south side of Atlanta in a different school district than the one that I teach in. It still hit too close to home for comfort. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
