A judge found the Virginia Tech shooter mentally ill months prior to the shooting. The man who went on killing² rampage at UC Santa Barbara said he was depressed³.

(Demorais) "They were much more likely to be victims of violence than they were to have perpetrated any acts."

Assistant Psychology⁴ Professor at North Carolina State University Sarah Demorais studied records of 5,000 mentally ill period over a one year period.

(Demorais) "Close to a quarter of our participants reported perpetrating a violent act within a prior six months period but a full third of our participants actually reported being victims of violence."

Psychiatry⁵ Professor Dr. Jeffrey Swanson at Duke has researched serious mental illness like schizophrenia and major depression.

(Dr. Swanson) "Only about 4% of the violence in our estimation is attributable to those kinds of psychiatric disorders⁶."

Multiple studies from around the world show the seriously mentally ill are more prone⁷ to violence but really only if untreated and especially if abusing substances.
