The Post reports that James E. Swann, Jr. — the notorious “Shotgun Stalker” who killed four people and injured five others during a two-month-long rampage around Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights in 1993 — has been denied a temporary release from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. The 46-year-old Swann, who has resided at St. Elizabeth’s since being declared not guilty by reason of insanity during his 1994 murder trial, was diagnosed as still suffer from schizophrenia and narcissistic personality disorder by psychiatrists. (Swann claimed that the “evil spirit” of Malcolm X drove him to kill.) D.C. Superior Court Judge Fred B. Ugast ruled that Swann would “be a danger to himself or others” if released to spend his birthday with his father this weekend.
