Probably not a lot until he gets home.
Unlike a normal hospitalization, he is
probably in the psych unit. They don't
always allow visitors the same as the
rest of the hospital. I imagine he is
there because he is now considered a
danger to himself or others. Most
likely not allowed visitors.
Since you use the word supposedly,
I will assume that its been hard
for you to get information. Don't
you assume the worst. If he has
snapped this will be the best place
for him right now. It may (or may not)
keep him out of jail.
You probably need to be prepared
for the possibility that it might
be a while before you see him again.
You have thinking to do now.
If you decide to stay with him, you
will have to be supportive, but not
go along or seem supportive of what
he did to get sent there. If you
just go along with him and make
it seem he is the one in the right,
he will be back in there or worse in
the future. It won't be easy for you.

Is he allowed visitors? Find out. If so, be strong and go and see him. I'm guessing he could do with the company right now.
Whilst I'm sure it was a shock for you, he should be able to explain why he did what he did. He must be under alot of stress at the moment and in need of support - you can be the one to try and give it to him.
If for some reason he isn't allowed visitors, write him a letter/card/etc and ask someone in the hospital to give it to him.
Three weeks may sound like a long time right now, but you must remember, he is getting the help he clearly needs.
Just be there for him.

Go and visit him, right now, he needs support from the people around him and try and help him get through this perios in his life. If you can, trya nd find out why he threatened his parents and see whether you can help him.
You're his girlfriend, I'm sure that the Hospital will let you go and see him and talk to him.
I hope this helped,
