Скачать или смотреть INSIGHT with John Ferrugia: IMMINENT DANGER

This project was honored with the 2019 duPont-Columbia Award for excellence in public interest reporting. This program, aired in 2018, examines the challenge and the threat presented by seriously mentally ill persons who have access to guns. It details the case of Matthew Reihl whose long history of mental illness did not prevent him from keeping an arsenal of guns including high-powered rifles with large capacity magazines. Despite the efforts of his family and law enforcement to get Reihl mental health services, he would not be helped. On New Year's Eve 2017 deputies were called to an apartment where he was staying to investigate an altercation. Two hours later, one deputy was dead, four were wounded and two civilians were also hurt. Reihl was killed in a subsequent shoot-out with a SWAT team.
You will hear from his family and the sheriff whose officers were killed and wounded who say new laws must be put in place to protect the mentally ill and the community.
And, for the first time, he parents of Aurora Theater mass-killer James Holmes sit together to talk about how they have been working for the past six years to focus on identification of mentally ill persons and how to prevent mass murder.
This production was honored with the DuPont-Columbia Award, the highest honor in video/digital journalism.
