I talked today with my father, a psychologist, about this event and the connection of several of these shootings involving people on antidepressants and I asked him if antidepressants could potentially trigger something like this. He said (loosely quoted), "A lot of people get so depressed that all they can do is sit there all day. Antidepressants give them the ability to start to do stuff again. This is why so many people that take antidepressants commit suicide soon after starting them because before they didn't have the energy or mental ability to do it but with antidepressants, they do. They could also go out and do stuff like this. People on antidepressants are most volatile in first few weeks of taking the medication or if they take it irregularly or the dosage is incorrect." Then I asked him if he thinks its a problem that people go to the doctor or a hospital and are prescribed antidepressants then are able to leave. He said that he believed that was dangerous and basically said people that are starting antidepressants need to monitored for a while before being released to go home but that can't be done unless the person consents to it, and nobody would. He told me of a story of a man that he had to submit a petition on to have him sent to the hospital because he was suicidal and he was released within hours because when the psychiatrist asked him if he was suicidal, he said no, and legally they could not keep him. This shows laws pertaining to the treatment of mentally unstable individuals need to be mended. He then went to say the shooter probably had several underlying conditions and he would be interested to find out what any of those were if that information comes forward but he guessed he was probably bipolar and schizophrenic.
