P.G. County records: officer's mental health questioned

Keith A. Washington, the former Prince George's County police corporal who shot two unarmed deliverymen last January, has brought forth past mental health records that labeled him a "potential danger," according to The Washington Post.

Washington, who is charged with murder in the death of Brandon Clark and attempted murder in the shooting of Robert White, revealed the documents last week as exhibits in a worker's compensation case, the Post reported.

According to a 1995 report written by psychiatrist Daniel J. Freedenburg, Washington had "fleeting homicidal and suicidal thoughts" as well as "fits of internal rage," according to the Post.

In the January incident, White claimed Washington became enraged at the deliverymen for no reason and began shooting, the Post reported.

Washington is also charged with assault for an incident in April over allegations that he brandished a gun at a real estate developer after the developer accidentally knocked on his door, according to the Post.
