Colorado Planned Parenthood Shooting
On November 27, Robert Dear stormed a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs and shot three individuals and wounding nine others. The individuals killed included a police officer and two civilians. The shooter claimed he was attacking the clinic because he was "pro-life" yet he goes and takes the life of three innocent individuals. Although his motive is not clear, authorities believe the location of the attack clarifies the motive. This controversy has sparked a huge interest online, where users do not understand how an individual can claim to be pro-life yet plan out a massacre to this degree. Previous to this incident, Robert Dear had been suspected of being a peeping tom and was reported numerous times. In 1997, his wife reported Dear for domestic abuse but was never convicted. In 2003, he had another run in with the law when he was arrested and charged with two acts of animal cruelty. Dear goes on trial today, Wednesday, November 9th, and is expected to face three counts of first degree murder, possibly resulting in maximum security life sentence or the death penalty.

While reading this, I immediately thought of when we were studying psychopaths and sociopaths. We don't know much about his genetics and whether or not he has the MOMA gene but based on the information you provided, it is obvious he is a troubled man who has run into the law before. I think maybe with more testing and such, he could fall under the category of a psychopath/sociopath.
