My Roommate Shot Himself To Death In Front Of Me [vt]

Card image cap

Last night, while my roommate and I were hanging out and drinking, he took out his firearm and waved it around, inadvertently pointing it towards me. When I told him he CAN NOT do that, he said “it’s empty, see?” And held it to his forehead and fired. It was not empty.

I am kind of still reeling from the experience and kind of want to know if there is anything I should do legally, or where I might be able to turn to to to get some of these questions answered? I spoke with police for about an hour and a half before I was picked up my a relative, but I didn't think at the time to ask these questions. They did give me contact to support liasions who can help me connect with therapists, etc.

We rent our apartment with a third roommate who is out of town. I have texted my landlord. What is the protocol in terms of rent and rent payment? He had a pet snake. What do I do with the animal? I have never met his parents but I assume they will be here to gather his belongings. How do I handle cleanup? I haven’t been in his room since last night, so don’t know what the crime scene investigators picked up or left, but he has a carpet and there was a lot of blood, and I hate the thought of his parents coming to retrieve his things and seeing his blood on the carpet.

I apologize if these are jumbled questions, but I'm kind of still processing everything and have these questions and don't know where else to turn. I appreciate the help.
