So, even if she didn't know specific details, what happens when one breaks the doctor patient confidentiality agreement? What sort of process takes place? (if you can share that type of info). When she made the report, obviously she had to be pretty concerned.
She had even contacted the threat assessment team in addition to campus police, I would think they would have still met even though he withdrew form the school since it seems that usually the ones who go on shooting rampages were recently terminated by their employer or had some sort of major changes in their life.

I'm assuming the psychiatrist (ir someone from counseling services) and their campus police are a part of their threat assessment team, so they'd be allowed some informal communication. She would be limited in what she can share if she doesn't have info about a specific threat. She could basically just say if he's been seen by their center and if there is any concern about his functioning, but she couldnt give specifics. If he signed a release she could share more. if she broke confidentiality without cause she could be sued, possibly be sanctioned or lose her license to practice. It's a gamble a lot of times because the situations aren't clear cut. There are always students of concern, but it's really hard to know how much of a threat they pose unless they are making threats or until they do something.

I have a feeling the University of Colorado is going to get sued through the ying-yang. I don't think it's right, but litigious lawyers go after the sources that have the most money. In this case AMC Theaters and U of C.

Yeah I agree. They want to hold someone responsible. They may have dropped the ball in some regard, but there's also the very real possibility that they did everything right and couldn't have prevented this. Most schools are much more on point and err on the side of caution since VA Tech

Police are trying to figure out why a man took a bag of weapons with him to an Ohio movie theater showing the latest Batman movie.

Authorities confirmed that 37-year-old Scott A. Smith walked into the Regal Cinemas movie theater in Crocker Park, Ohio, on Saturday night with several weapons, according to Cleveland's NBC-affiliate WKYC. An off-duty police officer and the theater manager became suspicious after noticing that Smith was carrying a beige satchel, WKYC reported.


Smith had bought a ticket for the 10 p.m. showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" at a Regal Cinemas about 16 miles west of Cleveland. He was the first and only person inside the movie theater and he sat in the center seat of the back row -- a position with "tactical advantage," police said, according to WKYC.


He was arrested by off-duty Westlake police officer Jeremiah Bullins, after it was discovered that Smith's bag contained a fully-loaded 9 mm pistol, two full magazines and three knives, according to WKYC. Bullins also found a fourth knife under Smith's clothing.

Smith drove a Toyota truck to the theater, which police impounded, finding a tactical vest inside, WKYC reported.

Saturday's incident in Ohio comes just two weeks after the July 20 shooting rampage at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., that left 12 dead and 58 wounded. The Aurora shooting happened at a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."

"After Colorado anything is possible," Westlake police Lt. Ray Arcuri, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "When you consider the movie he was going to and what happened in Colorado, you have to wonder what would make him want to bring the weapons into that particular film. Our police officer did a great job spotting him."


Except for traffic violations, Smith does not have a criminal record and police said he never made any threats. In Smith's home in the nearby town of North Ridgeville, Westlake police found about eight rifles and handguns, as well as gas masks and bulletproof vests, according to The Plain Dealer.

Smith is married with a young daughter. His wife told police she knew about this gun room but was not aware of his motives, WKYC reported.

Smith faces a minimum of four counts of carrying concealed weapons and more charges could come. He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday.
