KARE 11 Investigates - The GAP: Failure to Treat, Failure to Protect

KARE 11 Minneapolis/St. Paul & A.J. Lagoe

A KARE 11 primetime special showed viewers an investigation from its beginning to end, starting with a deadly mass shooting at a Buffalo, Minnesota Allina Health Clinic and following it all the way to the state capitol. The report detailed fatal gaps in Minnesota’s mental health and legal systems that stretched far beyond Buffalo. KARE 11 explained how suspects charged with serious crimes – but found mentally incompetent to stand trial – too often go untreated and the public goes unprotected.
