Seattle Pacific College Shooter -- History of Mental Illness
Like Elliot Rodger, Ybarra purchased his weapon legally, "a few years ago".
I don't know if that was before or after his 2010 and 2012 psychiatric holds.
Ybarra called 911 in October 2010 and told authorities that he wanted to "hurt himself and others" because he "had a rage inside him," according to a Mountlake Terrace Police Department incident report. Ybarra, who said he worked at a gun range at the time, was involuntarily committed at a mental health hospital by police.
Two years later, neighbors called police because Ybarra was lying in the middle of the street, "very intoxicated," about 1 a.m. A police report says Ybarra told officers that he wanted to die, specifically that "he wanted [a] SWAT team to get him and make him famous" because "no one cares about him." Again, he was taken temporarily to a mental health facility.

Ybarra was fascinated with the Columbine killers and had visited Columbine.
His lawyer says he's aware of the pain he's caused to the victims and their families and that "he's sorry".
Another guy who was not right in the head, publicly making statements about killing and death, receiving treatment.......and nothing anyone could/would do about the ticking time bomb.
