Possible trigger warning!

So I have this friend I've known for 8 years. It's been a good friendship. I helped him get a job at my company. Good dude who I care about.

This morning he didnt show up for work. We speculated halfheartedly that he might be in jail for DUI or something. After a couple hours we find out he IS in jail, but it's for attempted homocide. I guess he ate acid and really lost his mind and attacked his roommate.

I know he has been struggling mentally for a while now, but this is just so out of the blue. I just don't know how to feel and could use some support. Thanks.
