In the lead-up to the 6 day war, the west bank Palestinians were encouraged to move to Jordan so they wouldn’t be in the way of the Arab forces. They were assured that once Israel was destroyed they could move back home. When that didn’t work out, Jordan got fed up with the PLO and drove them out in 69-70. So if the family moved here from Jordan in the sixties, Palestinian would be a significant possibility.
Keep in mind that every injury may not be a bullet wound.
That makes perfect sense of how Jordon got thrown in the mix of all of this.
Regan was Governor of California at the time. His administration was involved in closing the asylums.

Late night update and a bit more info
An Army psychiatrist set to be shipped overseas opened fire at the Fort Hood Army post Thursday, authorities said, a rampage that killed 12 people and left 31 wounded in the worst mass shooting ever at a military base in the United States.
The gunman, first said to have been killed, was wounded but alive in a hospital under military guard, said Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood. He was shot four times, and was on a ventilator and unconscious, according to military officials. “I would say his death is not imminent,” Cone said.
The man was identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a 39-year-old from Virginia.
