Looks like the shooter is an MD -a psychiatrist

[depakid]

Wow.

He's probably heard a LOT of horrible things.

5. Where do dentists go when they need a dental check-up?

[whathehell]

22. They are supposed to go to their own shrink.

3. OK, time for a crusade against psychiatrists!

Or should it be against all MDs?

11. psychiatrists are amongst the professions that have a higher than average

rate of suicide. i have no idea if they are more or less likely to commit homicide, though

[depakid]

16. Yep- and when you think about it, hard to imagine with all they deal with in others

some of it has to stick, no matter how detached one is. Same deal with any profession like that. Cops, lawyers, social workers, etc.

[paulsby]

23. and dentists too

i went to grad school for counseling psychology.

"physician heal thyself" came to my mind many times.

iow, more than a few future counselors were just a bit... how do i put this gently... "off"

19. That sounds like it might be him. Nice catch.

[nonconformist]

24. Confirmed, that is the guy, they just showed that very picture on msnbc.

[FightingIrish]

26. Don't you love DU? We're always a step ahead.

CNN still has his name backwards.

[napi21]

10. FWIW, they go to another psych who they trust & respect.

We'll probably never know why he did this because he's dead.

[Cleita]

12. Well, it's known that some people seek degrees in psychology and

psychiatry because they have mental health issues of their own. I always understood though that they needed to be under the care of a colleague for that reason.
This strikes me as something much deeper, something that made him snap and have this breakdown and it's too bad that his colleagues didn't see it coming.

[pipi_k]

20. Yep. Some of the most screwed up people I've ever known

chose careers in the mental health field.

It's like some of them are trying to resolve issues from their own pasts, or maybe even go into the mental health field so they can feel like they're "normal" and not screwed up at all.
