German Shooter, Alabama Shooter — “No Known Motive”

Mar 11 2009 | Comments 0

Two tragedies in the news will, potentially, raise the subject of mental illness and violence. In Germany, a teenager killed 15 in a school shooting, and was then killed by cops. In Alabama, a man in his 20s went on a shooting rampage, killing multiple members of his family and other random people before killing himself. In both cases, according to current news reports, motives remain obscure.

I hate to say it, but I’ve rarely seen stories like this that don’t end up with a mental health “angle” — most recently, I’m thinking of Virginia Tech. Keep your eyes peeled.
