Asked whether Routh had been known to drink or take drugs, Gaines Blevins said, "Yeah, he's been known to drink in the past -- and smoke pot."

Last September 2, Routh was crying, shirtless, shoeless and smelling of alcohol when police caught up with him walking the streets of his hometown of Lancaster, Texas.

"He said they were out shooting target practice and he couldn't trust them so he killed them before they could kill him. He said he couldn't trust anyone anymore; everyone was out to get him."

I think this is not PTSD but misdiagnosed severe mental illness possibly schizophrenia, self medicating with alcohol and pot.

I feel sorry for his family, and his sister, who made this distressing call, will be marked by this for life.
