I believe they are drugged, I worked in a school yrs ago and a little boy who was about 12 was so zoned out on Prozac and Ritilin and guess what, his father was an MD, yes a legal drug pushing MD.
Given most mass shooters don’t survive, autopsy results are readily available. It is rare for one of these mass killers to be under the influence. Some, like the Sandy Hook and Parkland shooters refused medications.
As far as young kids being drugged, pharma has everyone drugged from cradle to grave and they work to keep those ready for the grave propped up with their drugs (another topic) but pertinent.
Everyone?
Need a hand with that broad brush?
About 7.5% of children, age 6-17 are medicated. Thus far, none have engaged in a sensational mass shooting.
Unsure of your point? It's the media fault for reporting these crimes? The media should not report any school shooting? That will cause all school shootings to stop???
The media created this pandemic of school shootings by making them national news for days on end. How many days was Sandy Hook or Parkland talked about? At least a week if not more. By the media giving these events press coverage, it increases the incidents of gun violence at schools exponentially. Wikipedia school shootings in America. Until 1999, they largely were once a year. Now it is nearly 30 a year and most get talked about on the news.

I know someone who conceals carry for the most part because their kid who left home early is violent and threatening. He even broke into the house and stole/sold Mom's wedding ring for drugs.
Well yeah. Like Sandy Hook's mother I blamed her for keeping the gun at home knowing he was prone to it. Unless she was totally blissfully unaware of the harsh reality. You know the "not my child" phenomenon. However, the kid did steal the gun and shot her up so there's that...

Start with the end result, suicide and work backwards.
But here is the thing, it isn't just as simple as just a suicide. This is a "if I'm going down, y'all are coming with me" scenario. This is similar to workplace violence where a shooter will kill others who wronged him before killing himself than a school suicide like mentioned in the Pearl Jam song "Jeremy." Two different group of profiles entirely.

Only thing certain is most of these killers intended to kill themselves or achieve suicide by cop.
I do blame the killer but we have a culture that breeds this. It is not video games, the news cycle is far worse than the video games and movies that glorify gun violence. The culture also thinks semi-automatic weapons like an AR-15 or in this case a 45 semi-automatic handgun and bump stocks and large clips, magazine, cartridges or whatever you want to call them are permissible. To blame one and not the other is just plain wrong.

in your words .... have been around for 100 years. How can that be the missing link?

No I stated the missing link but why should those tools that shouldn't be needed make it easier. If you can shoot a target in five shots (the most you'd find at a boy Scout range) you should spend more time on the range. The problem we see is people who commit.this act use it to spray bullets and potentially hit more targets, not accuracy on specific targets.
Insofar as he didn't get his hands on an assault rifle, this is a relative success... Looks like handgun; hence two dead instead of ten to twenty.
Sad that we have to look on two deaths and half a dozen wounded as a relative success, but this is America: we're a poor, hopelessly cursed nation where life and safety are not valued.
