This reminded me of something and makes me wonder if Stines has had a full medical exam since the shooting - especially to look for any evidence of brain tumors, lesions, cancer, etc.
My Grandmother had a brother who lived alone with and was taking care of his wife who was severely physically disabled with multiple sclerosis. My Grandmother started getting phone calls from the wife over the course of a couple weeks during which the wife would say that her husband had become verbally abusive, threatened to push her in her wheelchair into the River at the end of their street, etc. My uncle would get on the phone and deny everything and the police went out for welfare checks and always foynd him to be rational, the home (and my aunt) were in good condition, neighbors hadn’t noticed anything, etc. Everyone assumed it was my aunt that was having mental health issues. That was until one night when neighbors found my uncle in the middle of the street, naked and screaming threats/incoherent. He was always a kind, caring man so this was completely uncharacteristic of him! He was taken in for a medical/psych evaluation and was found to have brain cancer throughout most of his brain. He had somehow been able to hide/compensate for his mental decline until he just couldn’t anymore.
I hope they have had a complete medical & psychological evaluation of Stines to make sure there is/isn’t an underlying issue that could have led to his actions. I tend to doubt that there is a medical reason just because I would think it would have become more apparent with the amount of time that has passed, but I guess you never know.
