There had been some kind of "town hall meeting" of employees before the time clock incident. Then she left the building, went home, retrieved a handgun and 3 magazines, pepper spray, and handcuffs. She fired a total of 13 rounds from her 9mm glock-- 2 at her own head. She shot 6 people, killing 3.
Add to her major stressors that she had been in this new temporary job less than 2 weeks. New co-workers, new commute, new task responsibilities at the new job, mounting legal issues from the traffic violations, long term history of mental illness, depression, bipolar disorder, gender dysphoria, etc.

Given her mental health and transgender history, it's extremely likely she was taking one or more legally prescribed meds (such as anti depressants, bipolar meds such as lithium, or transgender hormones), with the possibility that she was also taking illicit substances.
Toxicology tests take about 6 weeks to come back.Quite frankly, this will have moved out of the news cycle by then-- particularly because the narrative is more about sympathy for the "struggles" of the homicidal attacker than the 6 unfortunate victims she shot in a fully premeditated manner. IMO.
Was she under medical supervision at all?
When was the last time she saw any medical or mental health provider?
Was she required to undergo drug testing for employment?
IMO, this pattern of behavior (given her unique medical and mental health history) is not purely "randomly" homicidal.
I strongly suspect that this woman's abrupt mental health/ personality deterioration was augmented by pharmacology.
I'm interested in the toxicology report-- if it ever makes the news. But I suspect she and the victims will be ignored/ forgotten by the media in the 6 weeks it will take to get the results.

ABERDEEN, Md. — A woman who shot three people dead at a Rite Aid distribution center in Maryland was a disgruntled employee who had been working there for less than two weeks, authorities said.
Woman Who Killed 3 People at Rite Aid Center Was a Disgruntled Worker
The 26-year-old woman who killed three people at a Rite Aid distribution center before fatally turning the gun on herself had a history of mental illness, police said in a news conference Friday. Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said family and friends of Snochia Moseley told investigators she was "increasingly agitated" and that they were "concerned for her well-being."
"I don't want to go into specifics about her medical condition but she was diagnosed with a mental illness," Gahler said.

Troi Coley, who described herself as a close friend of Moseley’s since high school, said Moseley had suffered from bipolar disorder and struggled since early in high school with severe depression, partly connected to her feelings of not being accepted when she first came out as a gay female and later as transgender.
“This is a girl who was depressed most of her life because she couldn’t accept herself to be who she was after she came out as gay, and she thought nobody else could accept her either,” said Coley, now an intern at CharmTV, a cable station run by Baltimore City government. “Snochia went through a lot of changes, but just could never really accept who she was. She just felt like she wasn’t accepted by anybody.”
