psychiatric patient stabs doctor

That's sad. Hope the off duty security guard will be protected instead of tried for murder or something. I don't know how things work when an officer or security guard has to use their weapon. I think investigations are usually done. Hopefully everything will turn out fine.

Don't bet on it. The patient's family is probably already being surrounded by lawyers promising mega bucks for "wrongful death."

I don't know much about law but they are going to rip the poor security guards to shreds not only did he not work for that hospital, but he was off duty too and shot the patient in the head.(and my question is since when are security guards armed?) I can just image all the things they will say to make him look like the bad guy.
