Good thing my brother didn't have a gun when in 1975 he had a psychotic break walked ran out of my families home. My Mom called the cops to find him. While on the phone she heard the LIRR train down the street sound the air horn. my brother had walked up the hill to the track and threw himself in front of the train. For the four previous years he was in and out of the hospital for schizophrenia
. Finally I guess he couldn't take it any more and the meds weren't working. I was stationed over at Kbay when the OOD came and notified me. If some one wants to kill themselves, they will find away.

As a schizophrenic your brother lived in a world often dominated by terrible hallucinations. Your brother, God bless him, wasn't responsible for his actions. In the last 30 years medications for psychosis have improved.
