Once the hardware is easily available, how hard would it be to create a killer robot?
Take a normal non-killer robot that can walk and use arms and hands like a human and can recognise human faces. It's reasonable to expect that these will be coming around in a few decades time.
Then just reconfigure it's software (which presumably any old nerd will be able to do so long as he can get access to it) to point it's arm towards human faces and twitch it's finger. Put a gun in it's hand and voila: you've got a killer robot.
The programming to recognise and shoot at humans should be easy. Guns are available. All that is missing is humanoid robots - which will be a thing before 2100.
Could school shooters be replaced by killer robots hijacked/re-programmed by would-be school shooters?
