After a recent fatal shooting inside an El Paso Veterans Affairs clinic, the VA’s police force is renewing calls for more staff, better training and increased resources — from fixing broken radios and cameras to installing metal detectors and developing clear procedures, according to an article on the Washington Post website.
The problem has grown in recent months after veterans grew increasingly frustrated when it came to light that the agency was lying about patient wait times, the article said.
Media reports show there have been a string of shootings and violent incidents in VA medical centers across the country.
Some of the violence has been committed by employees. Other times, they are carried out by veterans, who are trained in weapons and tactics.
