Hi everyone. Desperate for advice.

1 week ago my brother had an episode and nearly shot me and my dad. Luckily, we were able to retrieve his gun.

He's now in jail facing 6 counts and and we dont know what to do. We're worried he'll be killed in there and fall through the cracks of the system without any treatment, possibly coming out worse.

What can we do? At 39, hes undiagnosed and has been neglected his entire life. Things started to get bad about 6 years ago. Despite my pleas, our parents did nothing and even allowed him to get a gun, we're lucky to be alive.
