The Chancellor at the college where this man received his undergraduate degree said he was an honors student in a very rigorous course of study, one of the most difficult and challenging majors in the college. He was described as a student who was the “top of the top”. So the question begs to be asked, how does he go from there to being a mass murderer so quickly? He is described as a loner, and a highly intelligent loner is often a target for abusers. Another explanation might be that this type of individual is often a perfectionist and very demanding of himself. If he wasn’t succeeding in the very competetive atmosphere in his field in the graduate program, it may have caused him to snap.
