Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., warned of the consequences America faces should it not address mental health, after a suspect shot and killed three people in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., warned on Saturday that America could continue to see violent crime sprees like Saturday’s Pennsylvania shooting and New Jersey standoff, where a lone gunman killed three people before being taken into custody hours later. During a segment on 'Fox News Live,' Fitzpatrick discussed the tense situation and said lawmakers need to prioritize addressing mental health problems, or they would continue to see violence permeate communities across the country.
Fitzpatrick applauded the efforts of the various law enforcement entities involved. 'From the onset, we had federal law enforcement, first responders from all over Bucks County, and units from Philadelphia and New Jersey answer the call to track down this perpetrator. We are incredibly grateful for their swift response in ensuring that all parade participants were safely evacuated, residents remained sheltered in place, and we are grateful for their swift pursuit,' Fitzpatrick wrote.
Three other people, including a minor, were inside the home at the time. He then fled to another home, where he is accused of shooting and killing 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, who was the mother of their two kids, at another home in the area. Four others inside the home survived.
