Psych drugs in every shooter since Columbine – including Paddock   By Kelly

I’m a big fan of Ignatius Piazza, owner of Parhump, Nevada’s Frontsight Firearms Training Institute and World Champion emailer! I train at his facility at least once a year and read his emails regularly (well, many of them, he sends a ton!)
On Monday he predicted that authorities would find that Stephen Paddock had psych medications in his blood. He claims that these medications cause the patient to turn killer in certain cases. He says it’s not the guns it’s the medications.
Lo, and behold!  From FOX News/AP:
Stephen Paddock, the gunman who opened fire on a crowd at a country music concert on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday, was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug in June, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
The paper, citing records from the Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program, reported Tuesday that Paddock was prescribed 50, 10-milligram diazepam tablets by a physician on June 21. The brand name of the drug is Valium. The report said the drug could trigger aggressive behavior.
Authorities investigating the mass killing may look to a “psychological autopsy” to try to uncover what led Paddock to open fire into a crowd at a country music concert.
Jim Clemente, a retired FBI profiler, said in an interview that if Paddock’s suicide did not destroy his brain, experts could find some kind of neurological disorder or malformation.
“The genetics load the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and experiences pull the trigger, typically,” Clemente said. He pointed out that Paddock’s father — a bank robber — was diagnosed a psychopath.
Clemente speculated that there was “some sort of major trigger in his life — a great loss, a breakup, or maybe he just found out he has a terminal disease.”…
…Paddock had no known criminal record, and public records showed no signs of financial troubles, though he was said to be a big gambler.
His brother, Eric Paddock, said he was at a loss to explain the massacre. “No affiliation, no religion, no politics. He never cared about any of that stuff,” the brother said outside his Florida home.

UPDATE: People want more evidence about the claims made by Dr. Piazza. Check this out: https://www.cchrint.org/school-shooters.  As well as the link below.
