I'm a little late to the party here, so I apologize for resurrecting a dead threat, but I believe this needs to be said and repeated.

Prozac was approved by the FDA in 1987 as among the first drugs in the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) category. SSRIs were approved for use in children age 12-18 in 1992. The Colubmine shooting happened in 1999.

Since 1999, there has not been a single example of school shooting in which the shooter was definitely shown to NOT be on some sort of psychoactive drug. In every instance -- without fail -- the shooter was either on a psychoactive drug for mood stabilization, treatment of ADHD, or the records concerning such were not available.

If this is a coincidence, it's one helluva coincidence.
