I’m suggesting it’s a possibility that drugs, prescription or otherwise, may cause violent tendencies in individuals with a mental disorder that imagines gender disphoria. I feel it’s a possibility that automatically affirming a younger person’s opinion that they are in the wrong body and then affirming that even further with medications could have consequences that manifest themselves through violence. If the prescriptions do not offer relief, then the idea that they are completely messed up, beyond help, takes hold and grows. That’s not far fetched.
From AI (which, by the way, is just a massive, google search)
Medical records for mass shooters are generally private and protected under health privacy laws (e.g., HIPAA in the US), so only details that have been publicly reported through investigations, court documents, leaks, or official releases are known. Full medical records are not publicly available for any of these cases, and much of what’s reported comes from partial disclosures, affidavits, or media investigations. Below, I’ll summarize the known prescription and mental health details for the four older incidents you referenced (Nashville 2023, Colorado Springs 2022, Highlands Ranch 2019, and Aberdeen 2018), based on available public information. I’ve focused on prescriptions and related medical history where documented. Audrey Hale (Nashville Covenant School, March 2023) Hale had a documented history of mental health treatment starting in childhood, including therapy and psychiatric care. Key known details: • Prescribed medications included Buspirone (for anxiety), Lexapro (escitalopram, an SSRI antidepressant), and Hydroxyzine (an antihistamine used for anxiety and tension). These were prescribed by Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) staff and found in Hale’s possession at the time of the shooting.    • A sodium chloride nasal spray was also prescribed, but this is non-psychiatric. • Diagnosed conditions: Major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobias, and anger-management issues (from a 2011 psychological assessment).  • Hale was receiving ongoing treatment at VUMC at the time of the incident, but managed to withhold worsening symptoms (anxiety, depression, rage) from family and professionals.   • No medical documentation indicates Hale was undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or had initiated a gender transition at the time of death.  • A search warrant and subpoena were issued for all VUMC records related to Hale’s treatment to assess mental state, but full records remain sealed.   Anderson Lee Aldrich (Colorado Springs Club Q, November 2022) Aldrich had court-documented mental health treatment, but specific prescription names are not fully detailed in public records—only categories and counts. • Prescribed nearly a dozen medications for conditions including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Photos of pill bottles with Aldrich’s name were presented in court.   • One specific medication mentioned: Suboxone (used for opioid addiction treatment).  • Aldrich reported being on a “large plethora of drugs” including steroids, cocaine, and medications at the time of the shooting, contributing to being “up for days.”    • Defense arguments highlighted drug use and mental health as factors, but no full diagnosis list or complete prescription history has been publicly released. • Aldrich identifies as nonbinary (they/them pronouns), but no known HRT or transition-related prescriptions are documented in public reports.   • Childhood trauma, abusive family dynamics, and access to guns were cited as contributing factors in court, but medical records remain partially sealed.  Maya (Alec) McKinney (Highlands Ranch STEM School, May 2019) McKinney, a transgender boy, has limited public medical details, primarily from court proceedings and sentencing. • Reported suffering from homicidal and suicidal thoughts since age 12 and refused to take medication for these issues, stating it made them “feel alone.”  • No specific prescriptions are named in public records, but as a transgender individual in custody, McKinney would have legal access to hormones if prescribed prior to arrest (per precedents for incarcerated trans people).  • Incarcerated in a women’s facility (Denver Women’s Correctional Facility), suggesting no full medical transition at the time, but court records use male pronouns as requested.  • General mentions of mental health struggles, including being a “loner” and facing bullying related to sexuality/gender, but no detailed diagnoses or medication lists have been disclosed.  • Full medical records are not public; access would require legal consent or court order, and none have been released. Snochia Moseley (Aberdeen Rite Aid Warehouse, September 2018) Moseley’s mental health details emerged from police investigations and interviews post-incident. • Diagnosed with acute schizophrenia in 2016.    • Was not taking medication for the mental illness at the time of the shooting, despite the diagnosis; had become increasingly agitated in the weeks prior.   • Depression linked to money problems was reported by her girlfriend.   • Came out as transgender in 2016 and wanted to begin hormone treatment, but it’s unknown if any HRT prescriptions were started or obtained.  • No specific prescription names are documented in public reports; she answered “no” to mental health questions on a handgun purchase form despite the diagnosis.  • Prone to violent outbursts and threats, per her girlfriend’s statements to investigators.  • Full medical records are not public; details come from law enforcement and witness accounts. In all cases, complete medical records are not fully known or released to the public due to privacy protections. What’s available is fragmentary and often from secondary sources like police reports or court filings. If more details emerge from ongoing investigations or leaks, they could provide additional context.
