I'll Be Curious To Know How Many Times This Guy Has Been Hospitalized

Before this happened at the Colorado state capitol:
State troopers shot and killed an armed man who attempted to enter Gov. Bill Ritter's office inside the state Capitol this afternoon.

The man claimed that "he was the emperor, and he was here to take over state government," said Ritter's spokesman, Evan Dreyer.

Ritter was in his office at the time but was not involved in the shooting at about 2:25 p.m. today.

State troopers, who provide security inside the statehouse, ordered the man to drop his gun. He didn't, and they shot him. The man died where he fell.
Or am I making too many assumptions when I figure that a guy who claims to be the emperor and showing up to take over Colorado government is mentally ill?

How many more tragedies do there have to be before we deal with this problem?
