thank you for joining us. we know you have been on cnn talking about. this let s start with the gun used, the type of gun he was able to use to shoot two people so easily and wound a third. well, natalie, apparently he had purchased two glock pistols legally here in virginia. they are not sure which gun was used or if both were used. we will know that better after the autopsies and the ballistic comparisons are made. he did buy two with glocks legally here in the state of virginia. he had a troubled past, but nothing from that troubled past would prevent him from purchasing a gun in the u.s.? no. unless what? unless he had convictions for felonies or if he had been known to be committed for psychiatric care, mental health care, let s say. apparently neither of those two occurred. so he was able to this year purchase both guns legally.
services that could be provided in someone s home where perhaps the could be stabilized. now, the one bright spot if you could even call it that tonight, erin, is the fact that creigh deeds has been updated to good condition in the hospital right behind me. that s a miraculous outcome. thank you very much for your reporting, chris lawrence. so many people talk about this. in this case it s sort of incredible. you have a knife used and a gun used. in 1955 there were more than 550,000 psychiatric beds in the united states. in 2010, there were fewer than 45,000. that is a plunge by any measure. but keep in mind the population of the country has also nearly doubled since 1955. so you can get a sense of how astoundingly horrific this number is. this is a situation dr. charles sophie deals with every day as a psychiatrist and director of children s services for the county hospitals of los angeles. dr. sophie is out front. this was a state senator, a prominent family who ran up against a sy
in this case it is sort of incredible of you have a knife used and a gun used. in 1955, there were more than 555 psychiatric beds in the united states. in 2010, 43,000. but keep in mine the population has also nearly doubled since 1955. you can get a sense of how astoundingly horrific this number is. this is a situation dr. charles sophie deal with every day as a psychiatrist and director of children services for the county hospitals of los angeles. dr. sophie is outfront. this was a state senator, a prominent family who ran up against the system. couldn t get a bed for his son. if he could not get access, what does it mean for people who are not as fortunate? who are dealing with children who could have horrific problems and be at risk for themselves or others? it is a reality. the unfortunate thing. there are no beds. when there is a bed, the criteria to get into that bed of a danger to yourself, danger to others or inability to care for
