impulsive and violent crime.

A mass shooting like this one isn't impulsive. She likely stewed on the idea for years, if not for most of her life.

I would not jump to any conclusions, because mass shooters are displaying vanishingly rare (in the scale of the population) aberrant behavior.

Yeah, that's the problem. Those stats are probably good for analyzing the general pattern of violence across society, but something as abberant as a mass shooting may not follow that pattern. Honestly, looking at photographs of school shooters, 'High Testosterone' is not a thought that comes to mind. Honestly, it's the opposite, and shootings like this have risen over the same period that average testosterone levels have fallen.

Perhaps there's a certain level of low testosterone that's problematic - high enough for increased violent thought, too low for impulsive action, resulting in a years long, excruciatingly slow buildup of violent ideation until an explosive tipping point is reached. 'It's always the quiet ones', after all.

Or perhaps its autism. Which these days is absolutely linked to troonery, especially in women.
