Our thoughts and prayers out to the family, but i hate to say, its not uncommon that stuff like this happens because of the trauma. its dependent how the trauma was released in the mind and the body and i think from the military standpoint, we work on how to better debrief individuals that go in and out of combat. i go with a group of warriors, trying to understand how does this cycle work of debriefing individuals so that we can mitigate this situation from happening in the future? >> and it st...

Nothing a family member can do, so this is a very tragic story yet again of someone who just didnt get treatment and couldnt be forced into long-term care. >> yeah. and we understand police did take santiago to medical health facility, where he did get evaluation, but still unclear whats happened from there. so harry, we bring into this because clearly, you have interactiinte interaction with vets all the time and especially those of us who come from military families know that when someone come...

Intelligence agency was telling them to watch isis videos. apparently, some of the people around him heard him say he wanted to join isis, again, based on these voices he was hearing. the fbi took a look at him, they looked at his background, they didnt find anything to corroborate, anything indicating a radicalization or extremist background. they saw his military background, and they decided to call the local authorities who took him to the local hospital and there he had a mental evaluation. ...

Why this happened. the shooter was born in new jersey, moved to puerto rico, joined the national guard there and was deployed in 2010 to iraq. his aunt tells reporters that when he returned after about a year or two-year long stint over in iraq, he was acting strangely. he did seem happy about a year ago with the birth of a child and the aunt is dumbfounded as to why this happened telling reporters she didnt know why it had happened. we do know he was in fairbanks alaska prior to his discharge i...

Away why on the way to florida, he served in iraq from april 2010 to february 2011, that was in iraq, deployed. when he returned said he was acting strangely and discharged in august of this past year and couple months later thats when he walked into the fbi agency saying that someone from u.s. intelligence agency was speaking to him, he was hearing voices. thats when questioned and taken to mental facility for evaluation. but aunt said had no idea why this happened, shes very sorry, very sad an...

This part. no. this part, the part that where hes hearing voices, thats not part generally of ptsd. and now, he may have had other problems, substance abuse, schizophrenia, paranoia, then he says look, im a veteran and im having all these problems. its at that point that we would have hoped he would have been evaluated carefully and started on treatment and certainly watched from there. >> so, mr. croft, youre then revealing another big obstacle, really for the mental health community for people...

Walked into the anchorage fbi office to report that his mind was being controlled by u.s. intelligence agencies. during the interview, mr. santiago appeared agitated, incoherent and made disjointed statements. although he stated he did not wish to harm anyone, as a result of his erratic behavior our agents contacted local authorities, who took custody of mr. santiago and transported him to the local medical facility for evaluation. the fbi closed its assessment of mr. santiago after conducting d...

Mentally ill people like that so in this case when someone comes in and says theyre hearing voices and being manipulated or being controlled, those kind of visits to fbi offices and police stations are actually very but in this case, the fbi did what they should have done. referred him to the local police, but the police dont have good options either once they have him. theyll end up taking him to an emergency room at a regular hospital and trying to get some kind of an evaluation because many o...

Apparently told the fbi that intelligence agencies were forcing him to watch isis videos. that police in alaska had at one point taken away a gun that he had from him but, apparently, returned it late last year after he had undergone a mental evaluation. it is not clear at this hour if that was the same weapon that was used alleged hi in this unleashing of that hour to risk meanwhile, the fbi says it believes santiago did act alone, but so far they are not ruling out any possible motive includin...

The fbi spoke to him and they said that he ways disjointed and his thoughts. and they believed it was a mental health issue, not a terrorist concern. and he was turned over to local police, he then as we know, underwent a mental health evaluation voluntarily and he was able to get his gun back that he had with him when he went to police. we have learned from our sources that that is the same gun that was used in the shooting at that airport yesterday. so i want to bring in now, our analyst, tom ...
