Where Do We Go From Here?
Know the signs
-
There is no single profile that defines the mass shooter.
-
Some could be categorized as psychotic, such as the Virginia Tech shooter.
-
Others, including the San Bernardino and Orlando shooters, are motivated or inspired by ISIS or other terrorist organizations.
-
Most are seeking fame.
- While no common profile exists, common indicators do exist if you know the signs. In addition, most shooters have left a trail of physical or electronic evidence that was missed by friends or family. In 80 percent of the mass shootings since Columbine, the shooter told someone in advance about his or her plans yet weren’t taken seriously.
