I read yesterday the police had found no evidence of medication in the Lanza home and were getting a warrant for medical records. Not sure that we can confirm yet that this one was on SSRI’s..

That said, I also read that the first mass murder shooting in a school occurred in 1990. The first SSRI, Prozac, went on the market in 1988.

Several attacks happened before that.

I believe that is not quite right. The first spree was on December 30, 1974 at the Olean High School in Olean, NY by 17 y/o Anthony Barbaro. However, it was not while school was in session, so you could debate about that.

But this kind of continuing issue was predicted by Erica Carle, on May 2, 1974 (as noted in her 2003 article SHOOTING RAMPAGES: WHY DO CHILDREN KILL?). That 1974 article was geminal, I believe, in projecting the outcomes of the sea change in high school indoctrination in the human arts. Her prescience is worthy of reviewing.

Regarding Prozac, it was preceded by other such benzodiazepines, starting with Librium (chlordiazepoxide) in 1953, Valium (diazepam) in 1963, and others subsequently. (Is it possible that Anthony Barbaro was being treated with one of these earlier varieties?)

The first shooting occured in 1990? What a coincidence...

The Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(q)) is a federal United States law that prohibits any individual from knowingly possessing a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone. Its formal title is the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and is sometimes referred to as the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1995, possibly in referrence to S. 890.

I’d rather believe it occurred because of the first full season of The Simpsons in 1990.

Too many leaps of logic going on around here about SSRI’s.
