Uncontrolled violence is the common consequence here.
All incidents used guns. In five the perpetrators were identi fied as depressed, and three were taking either Prozac, Luvox, or Ritalin. We do not know how many similar kids were treated successfully and did not engage in violence. We lack sufficient psychological information to explain what was missing in the perpetrators of these seven incidents. The most prominent has been the shootings at Littleton, CO which continue to be enigmatic.
