The Military Police typically are involved in base security. Military Intelligence is entirely separate and in no way involved in base security. Probably just sloppy reporting.
While they don’t provide physical security, MI often has a hand in physical security assessments and vulnerability assessments. The question itself isn’t too off the wall to ask someone in MI.
This one is a little different, as Ft. Stewart is a massive army post with a relatively small garrison area. The shooting happened on a part of the post that is not within the secured garrison area, although very close to it. So ultimately he never had to go through a gate or security to access the shooting location.
Thanks for that info! I've never been to Fort Stewart before. So this company or battalion area was outside the actual gate? I've seen bases have housing or training areas outside the main base, but didn't know some have their every day work areas outside the gate. Interesting.
Thank you @Arkay We absolutely love this life we get to live. It's tragic when these situations hit close to base or on base.

I have followed some of those conversations also. It is now known that the amygdala, which is a part of the brain that regulates emotion, does not fully mature until about 26 years of age. Trauma at any time during its development can cause permanent injury and/or stunted growth. So when a person reaches 27 and still has trouble regulating emotional response, it can become more noticeable because mature adults are expected to be able to handle things like teasing or insults or taunting that the instigator might consider to be "genial banter" or if more rude, a kind of "pack behavior" as in bullying when a group joins in the sneering comments. If this guy was deeply traumatized by being bullied for stuttering all his life, has finally reached adulthood, but is still being harassed or ridiculed or taunted for it, I will be surprised if there is not something of a defense along the lines of brain injury and malformed amygdala. We don't really know much about his childhood or other factors that may have contributed to his exploding in a homicidal rage. I have found the discussions about the other rage killers you referenced to be very interesting as to their ages and how there does seem to be something of a cluster in that narrow age band.

If that reporting is correct, it is just absurd for defense counsel to make that request.
