This past weekend, Dionisio Garza III had a break with reality and for reasons as yet unknown, he went on a shooting spree in Houston. He killed one person, Eugene Linscomb, 57, and injured several others, including two police officers. Garza was a veteran of the 173rd Airborne Brigade and he’d been to Afghanistan at least once, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

His father blames PTSD <\/a>for Garza’s break.<\/p>\n

“We have not received confirmation, but I strongly suspect. I really believe this is a PTSD thing,” the man’s father said by phone, Monday.<\/p>\n

Garza’s father said his son, although loving, had become increasingly troubled over the last few months and decided to travel to Houston to meet others who believed the United States was on the brink of collapse.<\/p>\n

“On the internet he met some people or some people that believed like him.<\/p>\n

It’s better to go to Texas. He was trying to get us all to go over there and you know go live in a compound. That kind of talk, you know? That wasn’t my son,” the man said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, that’s not PTSD either. It’s confusion. People who claim they knew Garza blame PTSD, too;<\/p>\n

“I would have never guessed Garza. Ever. I’ve seen him talk people down from PTSD moments I’m sure more than I could even count,” he said.<\/p>\n

However, he told us PTSD was something Garza struggled with too.<\/p>\n

“I never thought he had a serious problem with it, he chose to go on a second and a third deployment and not only go, but be a leader there,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, he was disappointed that country is headed in the wrong direction, but that doesn’t justify what he did. <\/p>\n

Heavy.com<\/a> notes that he was a Trump supporter – that doesn’t explain his actions, either, despite the fact that many would like it to. <\/p>\n
