Less than a year before a Minnesota man was charged with the deadly rampage at a Buffalo clinic, he was found mentally incompetent to stand trial for violating a restraining order at that same clinic.
As a result, court records show prosecutors were required to dismiss Gregory Ulrich’s misdemeanor charges. What those records do not show is any attempt to court-order Ulrich into state custody for mental health treatment.

BELPRE Pandemic-related improvements have been made at the Belpre Senior Center that is now open for limited activities, officials said.
While closed, the center has installed touchless features, such as water fountains, toilets and doors, Manager Bonnie McGown said. Cleanliness is the main goal, she said.
“We’ve been keeping it as clean as we possibly can,” McGowan said.
The Senior Center, at 1614 Washington Blvd., was closed last year after an increase in infections and pandemic restrictions were instituted to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The center is managed through the O’Neill Senior Center in Marietta.
