Doug, your sarcasm with your earlier comment was what I took umbrage with, not the speculation over whether the shooter could be a woman...BUT since you bring it up, in the VAST MAJORITY of these sorts of crimes, it is a man who is the perpetrator. Women are capable of being sharpshooters of course; that's not what is first and foremost significant about this crime. As for women being more compassionate, yes, that is often true, but the issue here is violence and psychopathology. Serial killers throughout history are nearly always (at least 99.9% of the time) MEN. I am sure you could find examples of women if you tried but that would clearly be the exception (but you are usually too lazy to dig up examples, preferring instead to criticize others' points of view for not being "factual" enough or "proven"). You seem to enjoy lording it over everyone with your love of the FACTS. That serial killers or sniper-type killers are nearly always men is a FACT. It has nothing to do with anyone being a feminist or not so leave that out of it, if you please. Facts are facts. Live with it and stop being so ornery about being called on your snotty, sexist rhetoric.
