“Webster also told police he “has mental health issues and just started a new prescribed medication today,””
be interesting to see if the medication is Depakote; known to cause extreme anger and rage:

These types of stories are heartbreaking not just for the families of those killed and injured but, to me, also for those close to the young man who committed these acts.
Details I've read so far are that he had no criminal record. So what made this otherwise law-abiding young man snap and commit a crime of exceptional cold-blooded brutality? It's telling that his statement to the cops was that he has mental issues and started a new prescription. I suspect this prescription was not for marijuana but pharmaceuticals.
I think history will judge us harshly on this. Today we look back on the practice of giving people lobotomies as cruel and barbaric. In the same way, we will be looked upon for our practice of feeding primarily young men dangerous psychotropic medications that in time will be determined to have had dubious medical value and all too often horrendous side effects.
Meanwhile, a family is devastated and a confused young man who woke up yesterday morning planning on a routine day will now die in prison.
