I don't know if you'd call it "snapping" or impulsive if she planned this out. She bought the gun a few days before, and sent out messages telling loved ones what she was planning. I'd call is desperation, or deep depression. Definitely a call for help that went unheeded. Either way, as others have said, more a mental health issue.
It's Evil. She didn't get depressed because of her kids talking back at her, she wanted to get them. She probably hated her kids for some time, pretended not to but then began to plot against them.
Insanity as an excuse for everything doesn't cut it. Insanity might mean you think you're a pencil sharpener or you have no control over your actions. This woman obviously had control and planned it all out.

No sign of it coming. I would speculate a complete psychotic breakdown, but why?
It just goes to show you. We live our public lives and our private lives and some people are very good at keeping the two separate.
I don't know...I am not for gun control but something has to be done.
I blame Rush and Sarah!
