Read Virginia Statutes. They do have a Temporary Detention Order which preceeds an involuntary commitment. After being detained and evaluated you are either released or a hearing is held to obtain involuntary commitment and treatment.

Cho was released, not committed. Nor was he adjudicated incompetent (which means you have a guardian or become a ward of the state and cannot make legal or treatment decisions for yourself).

Fed law doesn't care about that. It cares about, adjudicated a danger to self, or others, because of mental defect.
