I seriously doubt if PTSD was the underlying cause of this and once again fault the media for sensationalizing and painting with a broad brush in order to further an agenda.

This is going to get interesting.

I was hoping you would chime in... Yes there are varying levels of PTSD, I "should" be a prime candidate... Heck.. just being shot at by Bradly's was traumatizing... Not to mention the rest of the crap...

Also , one should know that the only person that has ever said he has PTSD is himself (as in he claims PTSD but no professionals have come out and agreed).

This is interesting:
Harry Croft, a psychiatrist formerly with the Army who says he has evaluated about 7,000 veterans with PTSD, says it would be "extremely rare" for a PTSD sufferer to attack someone "outside of their own circle."
"Unless there's something else going on," says Croft, author of I Always Sit with My Back to the Wall, a book for PTSD sufferers and their families. "That something else might be drugs, alcohol or perhaps an underlying, co-occurring psychological disease, such as psychosis, paranoid disorder or severe bipolar disorder with psychosis."
