NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Police have confirmed the death of the suspect in an active shooter situation in Antioch at a movie theater. They released his identity Wednesday night.
Police identified the suspect as 29-year-old Vincente David Montano, of Nashville.
Authorities said Montano was arrested in Murfreesboro in 2004 for assault and resisting arrest.
Officials said Montano was known to have psychiatric issues, and he had allegedly been committed four times, twice in 2004 to TriStar Centennial Parthenon Pavilion Mental Health Clinic in Nashville and twice in 2007 to a different facility.

Thanks. I’d gone back to get his pic to post but you beat me to it. :-)
Which. I am sure is a relief to his family. There is always a fear of not just that they might kill themselves but who and how many they may take with them.
“Just accept that they are crazy and therefore they do crazy things.”
My opening position is that everybody’s crazy.
And therein lies the slogan for liberalism. Many are stupid. Most are ugly. But they are all clinically insane. bruce jenner is their hero? Insane.

I was at a university where feminists campaigned against the old asylums. They complained that most of the mental patients were women and that husbands and male psychiatrists too easily put their wives in mental institutions. University feminists and their associated women’s studies, psychology, social work and nursing departments around the country ended asylums. Ever since, the psychs. hastily prescribe drugs to patients and spit them back out to the streets.
His family hadn’t heard from him in over two years. This was a heck of a way to find out where he was and what he’d been doing.
One thing that threw me during the police chief’s presser was that he said the mother apparently reported him missing two days ago, after getting a call from the Texas Rangers. Where the heck did they come into the picture? Odd.
That was extreme....then
....but today we turn them out of the mental health facilities because of our liberal, progressive ideas
...and let them walk our streets ready to erupt
You are so right. I have an adopted son who is now 19 and is schizophrenic.
He has been to the local hospital over 20 times and waits for acceptance at a mental health hospital and most of the time they don’t wait for acceptance and discharge him.
Cycle repeats over and over again.
They, or others, succeeded in getting Dorthea Dix closed down and the streets were filled with homeless former mental patients. That was in the early ‘70s. It could be unnerving to wash clothes at the laundromat because many would hang out inside them to get out of bad weather.
More common than we care to admit.
Unfortunately many around here are veterans. Too many with ptsd. Too few halfway houses or apartments for them to stay in till they can get the help they need. Isolation from family is often the way they instinctively protect family from their possible aggression. So sad for all. Self medication with alcohol or drugs is so common
Prayers for you and yours. Make sure if you have a mental health support group you are involved. It certainly isn’t easy
Now if we can just convince those that try to understand or make sense of these acts that there is NOTHING to understand.
As you said, "Craxy" is NOT something anyone CAN understand.
I think that’s the case with the homeless in many cities these days. Too many are veterans. Very sad there isn’t enough assistance for our vets.
Heck, it’s sad that there are so many homeless, period, no matter why they’re on the streets. But a lot of them turn down help when it’s offered. Only so much can be done.
The Captain replied, “You are looking at it from an American point of view. Russians do things for Russian reasons not American reasons.”
This was a giant ‘Ah Ha!’ moment for me. People do things for their reasons, not yours.
This is why it is so hard to understand why crazy people do what they do. Their thinking is not the same as yours or mine.
The same thing applies to liberals and Democrats, but I repeat myself.

My son worked with the homeless mentally ill. They turn down help in fear they will be locked up. He tried to arrange housing (initially a room in an old motel) if not that make sure they either visited the Behavioral Health facility where there basic needs were met or some one (him)from the center visited them. He took more than one sugar pill while they took their medicine together. Kept loosing his coat until I realized where they were going. Started picking up several at Goodwill. He no longer works there as government cut position. So sad
True in many cases, but sometimes there are reasons. Certain drugs can drive people lulu and make them crazy. Or even make them somewhat normal depending on the brain. Btw, I like that old commercial with the egg in the frying pan, "This is your brain on drugs".
It’s a shame they cut his job position. Kinda shows how much the gov’t. cares about the homeless mentally ill, doesn’t it? :-(
