Veteran believed to have PTSD shot himself in the head Friday in Ohio on Facebook live, after shooting his girlfriend and fatally shooting her 5-year-old son.

In the video, McIendon says, "Sorry people, its been a long day .. It was nice knowing you, but it's time, people. I love you all."
1010 WINS has reached out to Facebook for comment.
Police in Miami Township said it received a call from a man who said he planned to kill his girlfriend, her son and himself, Police Chief Ron Hess said.
“We believe as soon as he called regional dispatch….that he shot himself,” Hess said, reported the Dayton Daily News.
Police said he made multiple calls to officials. In one call received by authorities, Mclendon told dispatchers he spent three-and-a-half years serving overseas and was "just tired."
He said "I'm just saying I'm sorry" after telling the officers he'd killed both his girlfriend and her son, officials said.
Facebook users who saw the video on Facebook Live also called 9-1-1.
McIendon lived in an apartment with his girlfriend and her son, police said.

I have chronic PTSD major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder. I have extreme empathy and sympathy I have the opposite problem. I don't ever want to hurt anybody or see anybody suffer like I have so I always do my best to make sure people are happy and taking care of to the best of my ability. But then when you're like that you get taken advantage of. So sad this is what he chose to do he didn't have to do that he could have went to the veterans hospital told them told anyone what he was thinking about doing and they would have by law had to put him in on a whole and medicate him properly and get him the proper help. It's just sick I can't say I feel sorry for him killing a woman and a little child I don't feel any sympathy for him it's just sickening he chose to take this route and to cause so much pain for so many people. PTSD is no excuse to do this type of s***
