    We don’t know about this particular case, but to answer your question, usually there’s plenty of signs before this sort of thing happens.

    We could use those signs to take action, like perhaps preventing or removing guns from unstable people.

    Connecting that people with social services, or law enforcement as appropriate.

    But those things are hard.

      Or the simple solution, dont sell guns anymore and copy europe laws.

      Law enforcement is all too happy to systematically ignore them when you tell them about these signs.
