""There's always a long history of trauma, grievances that escalate over time, and major stressors like rejection, or humiliation, that are the final straws in a turbulent life of pain, suffering and hopelessness.""
""Only a minority will have a diagnosed mental illness at the time of the attack. In general, most targeted attacks are driven by personal grievance composed of the elements of loss, humiliation, anger, and blame or personal grievance joined with extremist ideologies.""
A 14-year-old gunman killed eight students and a teacher in Kahramanmaras, Turkey, following a previous shooting in Siverek. Experts emphasize that mass shootings are rarely spontaneous, often rooted in a history of trauma and escalating grievances.

Mental illness is not the primary cause; most attackers are driven by personal grievances, including loss, humiliation, and anger, often intertwined with extremist ideologies.
