I have a hunch: What if they both had a mental condition that went undiagnosed. For example, what if they both had undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome? It has been known to run in families, right?

Just wanted to point out that Asperger's syndrome does NOT produce the inclination to commit mass murder. However, there are unrelated mental conditions that can trigger violent and bizzare behavior. Please do not confuse those conditions with Asperger's syndrome. People with Asperger's syndrome have a tough enough time getting by without being pegged as potential massd murderers. They often lack what we consider normal social skills, and so they can stand out like a sore thumb, but it does not affect their moral antenna.While I am not a mental health professional, if you were to check with a competent mental health professional I'm sure he or she would confirm the accuracy of this response.
