We’d have to say that firing a gun inside your mom’s house which then led to an hours-long standoff with police that resulted in absolutely nothing might be something authorities look at when they try to determine what went wrong:
“PTSD gunman 'fired a bullet through the wall of his mother's home in April and spent hours holed up inside before police coaxed him out' but he was cleared by mental health specialists” https://t.co/Aq6MAgahEo

From the WSJ which originally reported this:
Earlier this year, police were summoned to the home. Long was holed up inside; furniture was thrown around, neighbors said, and a bullet had been fired through the wall.
The street was blocked off, and police spent hours trying to get Long to peacefully come outside.
“They couldn’t get him out for a long time, like half the day,” said neighbor Richard Berge.
The Ventura County sheriff said in a briefing Thursday that deputies responded to a disturbance at the Longs’ home in April and mental-health specialists were dispatched. They determined that Long wasn’t a threat and didn’t qualify for an involuntary psychiatric hold.

So, why exactly did they feel he didn’t qualify? Unbelievable.
