If everyone did this, there'd be way more shootings than there already are.Deion Patterson had sought treatment around noon Wednesday at the Northside Medical Midtown facility because he was dissatisfied with care he was getting from the Department of Veterans Affairs, his mother told investigators, according to a high-level source with the Atlanta Police Department.
But when doctors wouldn’t give him the anti-anxiety drug Ativan, Patterson got angry, his mother told CNN affiliate WSB. The suspect pulled a handgun and started firing, the Atlanta police source told CNN.

What a lunatic!
Likely intentionalThe level of mass murders is only going to be enhanced by our government ending Title 42 in a few days too. El Paso, Texas has thousands already at the border. Texas has the most mass shootings out of any state and also has a severe border problem that our current administration is in denial of, IMHO. That's one of the reasons the gunman's name wasn't released. I'm sad to say, this is only the beginning. Keep in mind, these are bad people with a gun...there's a difference. The only reason the carnage wasn't worse in Allen, Texas, was because an undercover policeman was there, heard the shots and neutralized the gunman.
Texas also had another mass murder by car this weekend too, in Brownsville, It's still under investigation, but I would expect it was intentional, based on the witnesses statements.
I don't want to go anywhere anymore. It's really sad!
The director of the nearby Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center, Victor Maldonado, told the BBC World Service's Newshour programme that surveillance footage showed an SUV running a red light and approaching the bus stop at speed.
Oh, alsoLikely

Investigators are now reviewing social media to look into his beliefs, reports CBS News, the BBC's US partner.
During the attack, the suspect wore an insignia which has been associated with hate groups.
According to the US defence department, the suspect entered the US Army in June 2008 and was "terminated three months later without completing initial entry training" due to "physical or mental conditions".

As we already figured, he's clearly an extremist from the T-shirt worn:
It's so bad! Another reason I hope the gun reforms will include psychological evaluations and ensure proper information sharing about the impact of mental health
