There’s a life-threatening crisis happening right now.
Call 911. If there’s a weapon present, they will (legally have to) send police. Ask for a CIT-trained police officer (Crisis Intervention Team, who have extra training to handle mental health crises and are often more motivated to help with mental health problems than other officers). You can also ask for a mental health team; in some jurisdictions mental health professionals respond alongside police; these teams have different names in different places; they could be called psychiatric emergency teams (PET) or mobile crisis response teams (MCRT), or something else.
