Schoolmates: Outpatient Visits and Problems

schoolmates: They said medication for his problems had been found his room, according to Metro News. But toxicological and autopsy results were still not available, so it not yet clear whether he was taking the medicine when he went on his shooting rampage Friday, killing nine people and leaving dozens wounded. Law enforcement officials piecing together a portrait of the 18-year-old shooter said he was seeing a doctor up to last month for treatment of depression and psychiatric problems that began in 2015 with inpatient hospital care followed by outpatient visits. The 18-year-old German-Iranian, identified only as David S. due to Germany privacy laws, had earlier been described by investigators as being bullied by schoolmates at least once four years ago and being fascinated by previous mass shootings. Late Sunday police said they had taken in for questioning a friend of the shooter who might have known of the attack plan. But none of those killed were known to him, investigators said.
