James Woods has been using his Twitter to unite and help, and it’s a beautiful thing to see.
On Monday night, a veteran threatened to take his own life and put it out on Twitter. That tweet has been deleted, but we have a screenshot.
James Woods responded.
Tell me where you are. https://t.co/LVnLT5DeEB

We can talk. I don’t care what anybody thinks. Do you? Let’s have a conversation. Just you you and I. https://t.co/0ZD0YU6pFx

Someone said you’re Andrew. In Orlando? Im not trying to trap you. Let’s just talk. You also have your dog. Your little schnoot. Boy or girl? https://t.co/LVnLT5DeEB

I’m following you now, so you can DM me. We can talk privately. Or we can talk openly right here. Lot of people worried about you right now. https://t.co/LVnLT5DeEB

So think about this. A lot of vets, I understand, have come to where you are tonight. If you could just push this decision off tonight, at least, maybe you would also inspire another vet to seek help. You could save another man, too. By waiting to do this. https://t.co/L5NiEbQv5j

I’m driving cross country. Sitting in a motel room. I have all night. I know that sounds dorky, but here I am! I would love to talk. Just talk. I won’t push you into anything. https://t.co/LVnLT5DeEB

So I’m see that Andrew’s tweet has been deleted. Andrew, don’t feel embarrassed that you reached out in the darkness. Nobody thinks you’re foolish for that. You know every one of us reaching out to you right now has some depression, too. I’ll say it. I do.

His entire account is closed down. I’m told I can no longer DM him.

Did he make any reference to where he was in Orlando? A park, or a bar, or any specific reference?

Hello, @OrlandoPolice. A man named Andrew MacMasters just said on @Twitter that he is sitting in a parking lot and is going to kill himself. He’s sitting with his dog, a black lab, possibly in a WalMart parking lot. Can you do a #WelfareCheck? He is a Marine Vet. His tweet: pic.twitter.com/8DwqWVVkhC

He’s in Maitland. Calling PD there now.

Andrew wasn’t at his home address. @PoliceMaitland is getting assistance from neighboring agencies. They are really on this.

If only Andrew could see the THOUSANDS of fellow Americans who are pulling for him. It’s like he’s lost behind enemy lines and we are cheering him home, willing him to survive. Andrew, do this for the “other 21” vets a day who don’t make it home from the darkness. Stay alive!

The Maitland PD are checking everywhere. I gave them my number. Andrew was following me, so I thought maybe he would like to talk some things over. They’re going to give him my number if they find him and we can just talk until sunrise. A new day always helps. https://t.co/mKmCw1sHkk

It sounds like police were able to contact him. Via USA Today:
Maitland Police Public Information Officer Lt. Louis Y. Grindle informed USA TODAY Tuesday morning that authorities were able to reach MacMasters, though his whereabouts are unknown.”Our agency was able to make contact with him by phone earlier this morning, where he advised he was OK but did not wish to have contact with law enforcement,” the emailed statement read. “Our officers are still working to try and physically locate him to determine his well-being.”
I’m hoping this is true. I think now he probably needs less focus on him from all of us, while his loved ones give him the solace he needs. Thanks to all of you who worked to save a valuable life. My heart breaks for the other 21 vets and others who didn’t make it tonight. https://t.co/p5oskKIUrl

America is pulling for you, Andrew.
