EL PASO, Texas — An attorney for a Fort Bliss soldier accused of fatally shooting an El Paso high school student says the soldier sought mental health treatment before the April killing.
Attorney John Convery says Army Spc. Gerald Polanco and his family tried unsuccessfully to get the soldier help through his unit before the shooting.
Polanco is charged with murder in the shooting death of 18-year-old Ezra Gerald Smith and attempted murder in the wounding of an unidentified soldier.
