2. Albert Wong Is Suspected of Killing Three Hostages, Including One Who Might Have Ordered His Removal from a PTSD Program

Authorities have said they don’t know if the victims were chosen at random or not. But one victim’s father-in-law has his own idea of what happened. Bob Golick, Jen Golick’s father-in-law, told Oregon Live that she had ordered Wong’s removal from the Pathway program. She called her husband, Mark Golick, around 10:30 a.m. Pacific to let him know that she had been taken hostage. He never heard from her again.

Decorated soldier killed three hostages at veterans home — including psychologist who kicked him out of treatment program for PTSD

Gonzalez was a 29-year-old clinical psychologist, while Loeber, 48, was an executive director who received her graduate degree in social work from Boston College in 2008, according to her LinkedIn page.

Jennifer Golick, a top psychologist at the Pathway Home, last spoke to her husband, Mark, at around 10:30 a.m., when she called him to say she had been taken hostage by the former soldier.

She had recently ordered Wong removed from the program, which treats PTSD-afflicted veterans of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, said her father-in-law Bob Golick.

we keep sending these people off to kill for a bunch of old men and corporations and when they come home as damaged goods we shuffle them off into some dark corner and pretend that they don't exist!
And what do we do with "defense" money - we buy more and bigger things made to kill more and harm more of our own!

the vets to disappear when they came home lest they remind us of our folly in SE Asia. I also learned that certain companies made billions on that war.

Clearly he was still suffering. I suspect that Golick wouldn't have wanted to remove him if there hadn't been too many other vets in line behind him waiting for those services.

to help our veterans or changes to gun laws. Will staff need to complete Navy Seal training in order to be prepared for situations like this?
