I spoke with Leigh Richardson, licensed counselor, founder of The Brain Performance Center and author of the book "Turn Your Brain On to Get Your Game On: The How, What, Why to Peak Performance" to ask how survivors & grief-stricken loved ones handle such a scenario and what, if anything, can mental health professionals do if or when they're dealing with a potential risk to society.

There's already a good bit we know about the killer - except his whereabouts - but the social media "company he keeps" isn't much of a surprise. His spree likely comes at a bad time for Burt Jones' "arm the teachers" pitch. Gwinnett school leaders are certainly not on board.
