Hi

The NY Times has a piece by Lankford, a Criminal Justice scholar who offers a 
psychological explanation for suicidal mass killers.  The article is the first 
listed on Lankford's site below:

http://adamlankford.com/pressroom.htm

The gist is a three-part model

1. mental health problems that contribute to desire to die
2. sense of victimization
3. desire for fame and attention

He appears to have a number of works advancing this view.  I'm not familiar 
enough with the literature to know how valid the model is.

Take care
Jim
