>>13374853Back in 2013, family friends of the Newtown school shooter told CBS News that they knew “he was on medication and everything.”
Aside from those two high-profile shootings, we know the following school shooters were also on some kind of psychiatric medications:
The 1988 Illinois school shooter was on the mania drugs, Anafranil and Lithium.
The 1989 California school shooter was on the antidepressant called Amitriptyline, as well as the antipsychotic drug, Thorazine.
The 1997 Kentucky school shooter was on Ritalin.
The 1998 Oregon school shooter was on both Ritalin and Prozac.
One of the 1999 Columbine school shooters was on the antidepressant Luvox.
And it’s not just school shootings.
In 1981, would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley took four Valium just hours before trying to shoot the president.
In 1989, a man in Kentucky killed nine coworkers after he’d been taking Prozac for a month.
In 1996, 18-year-old Kurt Danysh killed his father just two weeks after starting Prozac.
In 2001, Andrea Yates of Texas killed her five children. She’d been on the antidepressant Effexor.
Also in 2001, a 12-year-old in South Carolina killed his grandparents while they slept. He’d been on the antidepressants Paxil and Zoloft.
In 2005, a man in Minnesota killed nine people and himself while taking Prozac.
In 2012, the Colorado movie theater shooter was on the antidepressant Sertraline.
We often say our modern era of mass school shootings began in 1999 with Columbine.
As I mentioned, one of those shooters was on the antidepressant Luvox.
The maker of Luvox, Solvay Pharmaceuticals, has admitted that 1-in-25 youth on the drug will develop mania, or 4% of users.
Two years after that tragedy, we had Andrea Yates kill her kids and blame it on Satan. She was taking Effexor.
