The love affair may have been a red herring. The first witnesses didn't see the shooter but told campus officials that the girl who was killed had a boyfriend who owned a lot of guns. They then assumed it was "just" a domestic disturbance and went to question the boyfriend, who was not involved. Somehow the story got out that she was his girlfriend - nobody's even sure if she knew him.
He may have been stalking her. Some sources are reporting that he had stalked a number of women before.
I have a feeling this won't be blamed on depression but on anti-depressants. It's a no-win situation: if they're depressed, it's the depression that did it, but if they were on something to treat the depression it's the drugs.
One of the saddest things was that his English teacher tried very hard to help him but nobody could do anything, because nothing he had done at that point was illegal or immoral. *But* after that he started taking pictures up girls' skirts, and even though the girls complained nothing was done. I don't know why, but I wonder if officials saw it as a "harmless prank".
