A copycat event. He was suicidal and decided to become famous while committing suicide.

The media has been promoting this for the last two decades, at least.

“And he purchased the guns legally.”

No hoops to jump through buying weapons as a diagnosed mental case?

A likely possibility, but he was an addicted ‘gamer’ and obviously a sore loser too.

If he had been previously described anti-psychotic medications, he had serious problems and needed ongoing serious help - and no guns.

Imagine the uproar if he had done this at a competition running some shooter game, like Far Cry, or Doom, instead of something harmless like Madden Football.
