Point well taken, songline!
But, but, but .... as to the medical health professionals, the psychiatrists that were his professors and the one that was treating him, 'if' they'd been paying attention and observed that young man begin to spiral downward (which I'm not claiming, as we don't have any way of knowing).
But his course work must've been suffering in the last couple or few months, due to him being so preoccupied with all those purchases online and in brick and mortar stores, and possible trips to gun ranges for shooting practice. Surely it seems someone would've noticed some physical changes with him. I mean just look at this slide show of pics and say this even looks like the same guy:

I wonder if he pulled out his eyelashes in recent months (I listened to one of the 'talking head' psychiatrists and he said that was a possible sign of psychosis ... any physical changes, as was shaving eyebrows - which someone on WS posted they thought JH shaved his eyebrows.) Look at those eyes. Did any of his professors notice his eyes change from normal looking to bulging and becoming wide-eyed and the size of quarters? What about his red/orange dyed hair? Not certain but I think I heard he dyed it in May? I'm not saying just one of these things by itself would draw the attention of a professor or psychiatrist but when you start compiling, it seems very odd. At least to me. Surely JH didn't appear this way when he was accepted to the university and gifted with that hard to come by NIH grant. And didn't we hear his grades were slipping?
It seems to me (imo) that they should've noticed 'something'! Seems like some things were really amiss with him. I'm not trying to blame them, by any means. Just saying IF they might've paid more attention to JH, his maniacal rampage
'might' have been prevented. Not trying to blame. Trying to figure out a way to get people that are in a crisis situation steered in a direction that might prevent some other tragedies in the future.
