You nailed it metal. Great post.

I personally feel.including YOU mr floral arrangement.
The "tabboo" or "big mysteries" about mental illness(s).needs to be talked about more much more.in a POSITIVE way. Seems the majority of the populace.are completely "word of mouth" educated about it.
Oh HES CUHRAAAAZY!

Get the word out MORE MORE MORE
THERE IS HELP FOR YOU.ME.THEM.
people are more afraid.of being kabeled,labeled,looked down upon,shunned,outcast and sadly ASHAMED to ask for help with it.
WHEN THAT CHANGES?
these situations will begin to change.THEYRE HUMANS TOO YA KNOW?.a hand up!not a thumbs down.

dale, mental illness cannot be "beaten out" of a child in the woodshed.

The person the obviously needed mental help and had access to guns.

Yes, 5 dead. So sad.

Sorry, IVC orders automatically expire after 24 hours if not served.

Joseph,
If what I heard is true someone tried to get him help and the cops dropped the ball. If there really was a commitment order that was supposed to be served and wasn't this whole thing falls back on the cops and someone should lose their job and be prosecuted for murder.

I think you're a little quick there, the fact that there MAY have been an unserved involuntary commitment order for the shooter doesn't mean anyone failed to do their jobs, an adult that has access to a motor vehicle can disappear in minutes, if the person can't be found the IVC order can't be served. Under NC law LEO's can't force entry into a private residence without probable cause (or exigent circumstances) to serve an IVC order. A NC issued IVC order doesn't travel across state lines, given Watauga's proximity to TN and VA a person needing to be picked could just hide across the line until the order expires. Speaking of expiring a NC IVC order automatically expires after 24 if unserved and a new IVC order must be obtained.
So before you start blaming LEO's the fact that an IVC order that may have been issued and had not been served doesn't mean it's law enforcement fault. Why don't put the blame for this incident where it ultimately belongs, on the person who decided to shoot and kill other people.

I have never agreed with the stopping of helping the mental ill or of the closing of state mental hospitals.

So Joe agrees with me on something.

We, as a society, stopped helping/providing mental help and the amount of homelessness and shootings have skyrocketed.

Now when is it, do we want to control guns or help the mentally ill?

Your required by law to have trigger locks on your guns, if you have kids. 1 trigger lock would have saved all these lives.

No you are not you are only required to have safe storage. And since no kids where involved nothing is required.

I dont think the culprit is as young as you think Dale....

Mental health issues and guns. You don't want to control guns, then get people mental help.

If what I heard is true someone tried to get him help and the cops dropped the ball. If there really was a commitment order that was supposed to be served and wasn't this whole thing falls back on the cops and someone should lose their job and be prosecuted for murder.

One deputy was killed and another injured while performing a welfare check at a North Carolina home Wednesday, authorities said.

The suspected shooter was still barricaded in the home, the Watauga County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday night.

Deputies responded to the home in Boone at around 9:44 a.m. after the homeowner's employer reported that the person had not reported to work or responded to phone calls, authorities said.

The two deputies were shot by an "unknown individual" upon entering the home, the sheriff's office said.

One of the officers, identified by authorities as Sgt. Chris Ward, died after being flown to Johnson City Medical Center. The second, identified as K-9 Deputy Logan Fox, was still on the scene. His condition was unknown, authorities said.

The suspected shooter has barricaded themself in a section of the home and periodically fires toward officers, authorities said. Law enforcement has surrounded the home and evacuated nearby residents.

A neighbor reported hearing several shots nearby Wednesday morning.

"I had just walked out in the yard and heard 'Bang, bang, bang, bang,'" Wiley Brown told ABC Charlotte affiliate WSOC. "I really didn't know what it was."

WSOC captured at least three ambulances responding to the scene, as well as a medical helicopter.

Hangs take the dam gun control rethoric somewhere else.

Bad people do bad things. End of the story.

This new generation that mom and dad couldn't take out to the wood shed. They made ppl raise these monsters that think everybody o's them and they can do as they please.

Mental health issues and guns.

I have read on another site that its is over a the two cops died along with the two parents and that their adult son killed himself.

HT I don't think you meant no wrong bro. We all just looking for answers. Messed up tragedy. Going off on each other isn't the answer. We all need to be more careful I guess with posting to fast. I am sorry too for my misinformation. Thanks for the update. I didn't know the officer that was air lifted passed. Prayers for his family and for the other officer still on the scene.

JOE'S BACK, DID YOU GO TELL THEM HOW TO DO THEIR JOB!
