Merrill Returns to Discuss the Psychology of Mass Shooters

Mass shootings have gripped the nation's headlines, leaving families scared to send their children to school or in public spaces unattended. While mass shooters tend to share a series of precursor behaviors and predispositions to violence (lack of empathy, nothing to live for/nothing to lose, traumatic or troublesome upbringing), they aren't necessarily all mentally ill as the media suggests. Merrill explains what comprises a mass shooter, the difference between an active shooter and a terrorist, and lays to rest the longstanding debate about video games causing violence.
