Shootings in Orlando and Fort Hood

Wow! What frightful news today! How many more shooting stories can we hear about within a 24 hour time period! First the disgruntled doctor in Fort Hood, now the angry ex-employee in Orlando. Seems to me there would be another way to solve these problems other than killing your fellow man.

First let's look at the Fort Hood shooting. The shooter was actual a psychiatrist and was upset about being deployed to Iraq. He killed 10 soldiers who were going through the last stages of deployment. It's kind of hard to think that a doctor, a psychiatrist at that, would take such drastic measures to avoid deployment. Kind of makes you wonder what the real underlying reason was for such a life altering attack. Since he has survived this attack, I would assume more answers will be forthcoming.

The second shooting spree was in Orlando Florida. This gunman was an engineer at a company, and had been layed off from his company several weeks ago. He killed 1 person and wounded 5 others. He was apprehended later today at his mother's home.

Here's what I want to know. Were there any early signs these people were going off the deep end? Had they had a history of erratic behavior? Could their actions somehow been averted? So many unanswered questions!
