This was tragedy for all concerned. The students killed and injured. The young man who took his life after destroying the lives of others. The families and friends of all of them.
My prayers to each and every one.

You really think that the NUI shooter would not have done this with or without his medication? I just do not see many medications as having that much of an impact unless it is accompanied with a good psychiatrist along with a supportive family structure.
If he had been hearing voices and believed that they were telling him what to do AND acted on those voices, well then maybe certain drugs would have helped stop this rampage.
If someone is hearing voices though, I never got why the person just could not tell them to shut up?
