Former FBI Agent Says Arizona Shooter Exhibits Psychopathic Traits Based on Communication Analysis

What was said

"I would probably put this person somewhere on the psychopathy scale meaning he's a psychopath. He goes from zero to 40. I'm not here to do a psycho val of them. I'm sure the defense team will do that. That'll be part of the defense somewhere. they're going to add into that at some point. Um, and and he may be on there to some degree."

Former FBI behavioral analyst examining the Arizona shooter's communications concluded the suspect likely falls on the psychopathy spectrum, citing his emotionally controlled demeanor and lack of caring for victims immediately following the shooting. The expert noted the suspect's matter-of-fact tone in anonymous communications and predicted the defense team will incorporate psychological evaluation into their legal strategy. He characterized the shooter and his roommate as 'social vacuums' - dark, empty vessels shut off from reality and normal human connection.
