We can’t let them know my plan to fight them.” Doe’s father stated a few days before the crime he observed Doe having a running commentary with himself and when he asked Doe who was he talking to Doe yelled out “ …their coming, their coming…” Due to Doe’s parent becoming increasing concerned about Doe’s bizarre behavior they scheduled an appointment at an outpatient clinic for a psychiatric evaluation.NSG 6420 Week 5 Assignment 2 GERD New

During the evaluation, Doe communicated marked delusional beliefs about policemen who were “non-human.” Doe stated he had seen the “non-human, alien policemen,” but would not elaborate further. Doe reported the “alien policemen” were placed on earth to facilitate the “takeover of the world and seize all humans.” He elaborated that this world “takeover” would involve the murder of “all government leaders” and “millions of innocents.”

When asked, Doe said he did not have any thoughts of hurting himself or others nor did he exhibit an inability to take care of himself. Doe was released to his parent’s care with a prescription of an atypical antipsychotic with a follow-up appointment scheduled in five days. Per Doe’s parents Doe was non-compliant in taking his prescribed medication. Two days later, Doe walked into his local police station and began firing his father’s .357 magnum and chanting “circa mal te, cira mal te, cira mal te…” Two policemen were seriously injured.NSG 6420 Week 5 Assignment 2 GERD New
