Stephen Paddock, who killed at least 58 people and wounded hundreds more in Las Vegas on Sunday with high-powered rifles, was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug in June that can lead to aggressive behavior, the Las Vegas Review-Journal has learned.

Does Xanax have the same effects?

Why were 2 windows blown out?

The second window gave him a line of fire toward the only other exit from the concert venue. By firing from both windows he was able to cut off both escape routes and pin the crowd in the middle where they were easy pickings.

Operational Jihadists like to use anti-anxiety meds, either because they are forced to, or by choice as a way to keep their cool.

There is recent story about it at this LINK

Benzoids can cause very bad behaviorif you are suddendly cut off from a daily habit too.
The stuff is actually probably worse than opiods.
This is something I wish I did not know about.
Withdrawal can take months.
Doctors are always giving drugs without telling people about these things.
hbat being said, I believe the shooter is a Leftist nut by his target alone.
This guy is just like the Republican baseball game shooter.
I blame the Leftist media, and the deep state refusal to allow peaceful transfer of power to ths Trump administration.
They are intentionally pushing nuts over the edge to push their own agenda.
This is war, these deaths casualties.
Disgusting.

What was his motive? All this planning. He had a motive, whether falsely perceived or not.

I had Valium for surgery last week. I was jittery for three days afterwards. Of course there were a number of other drugs too.

Still, the answer to jittery or aggressive is to stop taking what is making you jittery or aggressive, not to go on a months-long well-thought out plan of mayhem.

Did the shooter stop shooting, run to the other room and start shooting again?

Why did he stop shooting after 9 minutes? I thought the police took 72 minutes to go into his room.

Could a 2nd person have killed him?

I took a re-uptake inhibitor for a while,
and never killed anybody, I don’t think.
