I just posted my response to this. I'm concerned that the Conn shootings lead to public hysteria over the "mentally ill".

A teacher who threw herself in front of a gunman to protect her students. A teacher who locked the children in a bathroom and stayed with them, reassuring them lovingly because she wanted them, if they were to be killed, to hear her voice as they died, and not shot. I hope these examples will occur to people the next time they want to say bad things about public school teachers.

the mass shooters almost always have a history of mental illness, or behavior that would flag them as having behavioral issues
Yes, but so do a whole lot of other people, who don't end up shooting up the neighborhood. We don't have tests that predict future behavior for individuals.
