MFIUP-M14-6668
Pt presented to ED with family after FBI visited family after an anonymous tip that patient was having SI and HI regarding a mass shooting in the context of worsening depression and anxiety. Pt acknowledged recent homicidal ideation as a means to justify ending his own life. Initially pt denied creating a written plan, denies attempts to get a gun or have possession of a gun, or thought of a specific school or time he would do this, though, he now states he identified two elementary schools as potential targets. During past assessments he has acknowledged reasons for not going forth with this shooting – like the attempt would fail and he would be in a worse situation and he does not want to actually hurt people. Similarly, suicidal thoughts are present with thoughts of shooting himself, but does not have intent or obtained means to act on it. Although these are moderate-high risk thoughts, patient is able to keep self and others safe while in the hospital at this time. Aspects of his clinical history that put pt at risk for progressing to future violence include pre-occupation with prior shooters, nihilistic beliefs, and time spent in a potentially radicalizing online community. Additionally, mom reported partner had a gun in the home and patient + step-brother was looking around the house for this gun. The leading drivers of current SI and HI seem to be significant anxiety and co-morbid depression. Has experienced significant neglect and sexual abuse that have impacted his current mood and outlook as well.
