Often overlooked in such discussion is this -

Was the Pt taking his/her medications as prescribed?

Was the Pt seeing his/her PHY on a regular basis to include medication review?

When the shootings occurred, in this instance, was the shooter found to have trace of prescribed medications in his/her system and to what levels?

Also, were illegal / legal additional drugs in the system (i.e. ETOH / SPICE) creating a medication cocktail reaction in addition to the primary diagnosis challenges?

The Media always goes for the shock effect as we know.

It would be far more helpful / useful to have qualified answers to questions like the above.
