Does genetics predict possible maniacs like Paddock?

Probably not, I think that has more to do with the psychology we develop are we become who we are. While effected by genetics our psychology is more determined by our experiences than what we are born with. But it is an interesting thought, who knows there might be a genetic expression or combination of that make it more or less likely someone might end up like that. But predictive in a specific individual I would say no way.

@Shewolfiie69 Thanks, it has been a while but I asked the same question in psychology class.

They talked a lot about how trauma and experiences shaped personalty and that there was not really enough information at the time to be too specific then used the heredity of intelligence traits to make a point and how it was a combination of heredity and what you go through after you are born that determined it and how one was just as important as the other.

There are flags that get your attention with mass murders like this guy but psychologists say, it is maddeningly difficult to separate the next shooter from the millions of other disaffected people who may never go on to kill. The study of that kind of psychology and the psychology of the lust based killers was quite eye opening.
