2. The early speculation will likely push the shooter's derangement and mental illness...

I say that because statistically speaking that's pretty much always what happens with spectacular shootings.

No family member or friend is going to want to be associated with the shooter, so they'll be biased to suggest that 'he had issures" when they knew him in High School/Elementary School. Every little thing that can be twisted into a quirk suggesting 'otherness' by non-psychiatric others who knew him will be used as evidence of pre-existing mental problems, etc.

But the guy who did the shooting was thinking plenty well enough to see it as a series problems needing to be solved. And, the SS, state police etc, who are paid to foresee those things, apparently didn't percieve the possibility of the "solutions" figured out by the crazy guy.,
