For the first couple days all we have heard is how the IL Valentine's Day shooter was a model student and "Just Snapped."
Anyone who knows anything about these rampage shooters knows they do NOT just snap. Their actions are the end game of a history of abnormal behaviour which has long been considered troublesome.
With that in mind it is no surprise more details have come out about the IL shooter. (I do not use his name because that is exactly why he did it. We pay these people for their murders by making them famous. Do not use their names. Do not post their pictures).

A former employee at a Chicago psychiatric treatment center said Kazmierczak's parents placed him there after high school. She said he used to cut himself, and had resisted taking his medications.
He had a short-lived stint as a prison guard that ended abruptly when he didn't show up for work. He also was in the Army for about six months in 2001-02, but he told a friend he'd gotten a psychological discharge.
Exactly what set Kazmierczak off — and why he picked his former university and that particular lecture hall — remained a mystery.
...
University Police Chief Donald Grady said Friday that Kazmierczak had become erratic in the past two weeks after he stopped taking his medication.
Kazmierczak spent more than a year at the Thresholds-Mary Hill House in the late 1990s, former house manager Louise Gbadamashi told The Associated Press. His parents placed him there after high school because he had become unruly, she said.
Gbadamashi said she couldn't remember any instances of him being violent.
"He never wanted to identify with being mentally ill," she said. "That was part of the problem."
