my Spiderman client

I have this client, who  was admitted for depression. He has a trauma history on top of the depression, and he has been thinking about it more frequently. he let me in what happened all those years ago, and I know it sounded familiar...
He was held up at knifepoint while in a convenience store. He has a permit to use a concealed weapon, but didn't shoot the attacker. He didn't get into it and it's not my place to pry at this time.  The attacker fled and client was unhurt.  The following week, the attacker wound up attacking and killing another person, a landlord in a local apartment building.  my client has been guilt-ridden for years about it, and questioned whether there was something he could do to "make things right."   I think he oculd benefit from hearing mabfan 's lecture on Spiderman and redemption.
