INteresting about the shooter's visit earlier to the Naval Academy, expressing views so extreme that it prompted a call "to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service." That plus the paranoid accusation about his SS were all warning signs. The man was 88. I recently read an article about the increasing percentage of Alzheimers and mental disorders in over 70s (14%). It was much higher than I would have guessed, and is growing as we live longer and the numbers of seniors grows. By age 90, the number affected was 1 in 3. The more education one had, the lower the incidence. (Am immediately enrolling for another degree!) THis had been a volatile, angry individual for many years. It makes sense to me that at 88, he was less rational, less able to control himself. It's too bad no one picked up on the signs that he was decompensating.
