Story out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
Officers and emergency crews surrounded the area of West Street at Turtle Creek Valley Mental Health Friday afternoon.
Police say when they arrived on scene they went to the 5th floor and saw a man with a long knife and a handgun with a flashlight attached. It was later discovered that the weapon was a BB gun, but officials said they had no way of knowing that at the time.
Reports indicate several people, including 38-year-old suspect Dustin Johnson, were injured: five individuals were stabbed, one was pistol-whipped and the suspect was shot.
The stabbing victims include two residents and three employees. Four are expected to recover and one is in critical condition.
Some patients said Johnson was angry because his treatment at the facility was no longer covered by insurance.
When asked about the easy access to the facility, Superintendent McDonough said the elevator to the offices is accessible to the public. He entered the building and began to assault staff almost immediately. Cont.
