secret service threat assessment

Very interesting study. It's only 7 pages, but has a lot of statistics if you're interested in reading them.

Unsurprisingly, mental issues and drugs were prominently found in many of the cases of mass shootings. Even attributed "aggressive narcissism" in 82% of the shootings.

You guys should take the few minutes to read this.

Thanks for posting that John. If the signs and leads were followed up many of these events would not have taken place. I know that is oversimplifying, it is a difficult task at best, and almost impossible at worst. It would be very hard to turn ones spouse, family member, or close friend over to law enforcement, and if the person was found mentally competent that would lead to another set of problems both for the person accused, the accuser, and possibly anyone else around or close to the accused.

John, thanks again for sharing.

Only problem with statistics like that, is that it makes everyone look like a threat. With the majority being middle class working males.
