"I can't trust the current government," and "I'm a sleepwalker," Jared Lee Loughner proclaimed in an Internet video before the shooting of a federal judge, congresswoman and others...
His rambling videos had already caused him trouble at school, scaring his community college into suspending him in September.

Pima Community College...issued a statement identifying Loughner as the suspect. It said he was...suspended Sept. 29 for conduct violations. It said he agreed to withdrew from the college on Oct. 4.
...Loughner had five contacts with college police for disrupting classrooms and the library. It said he was prohibited from returning to the college.

And The Republic reports that in mid-December, about the same time as the videos were posted, Loughner posted:
"WOW! Im glad i didnt kill myself. Ill see you on National T.v.! This is foreshadow .... why doesnt anyone talk to me?.."
and
"I dont feel good: Im ready to kill a police officer! I can say it."
In a profile online, he listed his favorite books: "Animal Farm," "Brave New World,"..."The Communist Manifesto," "Siddhartha," "The Old Man and the Sea," "Gulliver's Travels," "Mein Kampf,"...
A 22-year-old woman in Arizona, Caitie Parker, claimed on her Twitter feed that she went to high school and college with the gunman, and was in a band with him. She described his politics in the past as "left wing, quite liberal, & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy." She also described him as having a lot of friends "until he got alcohol poisoning in '06" and dropped out of school. "Mainly loner very philosophical."
Parker described the gunman meeting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords previously: "He was a political radical & met Giffords once before in '07, asked her a question & he told me she was 'stupid & unintelligent.'"

He was a heavy pot user too. Possible the schizophrenia was brought on by the Marijuana use.
Another of the hundreds of threads on this shooting quoted neighbors as saying the entire family kept to themselves, never talked to their neighbors, basically they only saw the father in the morning when he was out watering his garden. Another thread said the mother worked for the county or state in its natural resources agency.
As a parent myself I cannot imagine receiving news that my child had committed such a horrific crime, even if I knew he had mental issues.
“Possible the schizophrenia was brought on by the Marijuana use.”
There is some evidence that that can happen:
