Is it the drugs or is it that people who do mass shooters (minus the gang-bangers) have a history of mental illness and therefore have been prescribed SSRI's?

    Most people wouldn't end up as mass shooters, either. Could be that shooters have been previously flagged for violent abnormal behavior and therefore been given SSRI's. Most people on SSRI's don't become murderers. Could be that the SSRI's pushes some further into their violent potential. Could be that SSRI's can't save everyone. I don't know.
