The sister of a gunman shot dead after he blasted two cops on a Brooklyn subway train said yesterday that he should not have been on the streets.
Natalie Jourdan, 30, said Peter Jourdan was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia 17 years ago and had spent two years in a Los Angeles hospital.
“Society failed him,” she told The Post. “He should have been monitored. He should have been on medication.”
She last saw him two weeks ago when he visited their father’s Flatbush home for dinner, she said.
Even then, he was acting paranoid about his food, “even thinking that someone poisoned it,” she said.
Officer Michael Levay shot Peter Jourdan, 37, on Thursday night after he and his partner, Officer Lukasz Kozicki, stopped Jourdan from walking in between subway cars.
Natalie Jourdan said her brother likely felt threatened.
“I truly feel that he felt that two people were following him on the train,” she said.
“He panicked, felt paranoid and was probably defending himself. I’m sure he didn’t even know it was illegal to walk in between the cars.”
