Jason Durr, who’s awaiting trial on a charge he shot his former girlfriend while having a flashback of the Iraq War, is scheduled to move into a West Haven sober house later this week.
Durr, 26, of Lebanon, is charged with attempted murder, first-degree assault and illegal possession of an assault weapon in the May 9, 2012, attack in his Lebanon apartment.
The U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq told police that he had no memory of the attack, and the ex-girlfriend said she thought Durr might have had a flashback.
Durr pleaded not guilty to the charges and is free on a promise to appear after a judge reduced his initial $1 million bond in November.
In early December, Durr entered an inpatient substance abuse rehabilitation treatment program at a Veterans Administration hospital in Northport, Long Island, after similar treatment at a VA facility in West Haven. He later began treatment at Northport for post-traumatic stress disorder.
