From the report:
According to the criminal complaint, Williams' grandmother told authorities that he called her and said he was homicidal and suicidal.
He said he "planned to 'shoot up' a local hotel and then commit suicide by cop," the U.S. attorney's office said.
"The grandmother could hear Williams manipulating a firearm on the phone and was able to persuade Williams to let her pick him up" and take him to a hospital for psychiatric care, the complaint added.
Grandma and uncle seemed to have strong boundaries while still having some sort of good relationship with him to get him to the hospital. He also seems self-aware enough to reach out to his grandma. I hope he gets the help he needs (in addition to the criminal charges) and never goes down this route again. I hope his life gets better, ultimately.
