Dr. Bart Rossi, criminal psychologist, discusses the mental state of a killer and what may have been wrong with Adam Lanza, the man believed to have killed 28 people at a Connecticut elementary school.

"There is a profile for people like this. They feel like they're the victim. Usually these people have anger over a long period of time. They feel like they have to strike back at the world. But to strike back like this is beyond the scope of what we usually expect."

It doesn't work when we have personality problems in our midst and guns in America the way we do. It's not an individual that flips out after a bad day, they've developed these traits over a period of time."
