'Homicidal ideation': RFK Jr. announces probe into anti-depressant drugs and their use by killers
[World Net Daily] Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that there will be launched new studies into the effects of some anti-depressant drugs, and their use by those who turn out to be killers.

The announcement comes in the aftermath of this week's mass shooting at a Catholic church and school in Minneapolis that left two dead and more than a dozen more injured.

"SSRIs, or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, are a class of antidepressant medications that are used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders," the report said. "They are frequently used to treat common mental health challenges, especially in younger adults seeking to transition from their God-given gender who already suffer a higher rate of depression-related issues."

The shooting attack this week, by a transgender individual, a man who claimed to identify as a woman, came "two years after another trans-involved shooting spree in Nashville," the report said. There was no immediate confirmation on any medications taken by the Minneapolis shooter.

"We're launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence," Kennedy said. "You know, many of them on there have black box warnings that warn of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation."
