MIND OF A RAMPAGE KILLER

What makes a person walk into a classroom full of students and open fire? What combination of brain differences and life circumstances can compel a human being to commit the most inhuman crimes? NOVA investigates new theories that the most destructive rampage killers are driven not by the urge to kill, but by the wish to die—to go out in a media-fueled blaze of glory. How much can science tell us about a brain at risk for violence? Can we recognize dangerous minds in time to prevent the next Newtown? Mature students. SDH subtitles. Color. 60 minutes.
