The high school student who stabbed 21 classmates and a security
guard at a Pennsylvania high school was probably simmering with
rage before the rampage and pumped with adrenaline as he moved
through halls and classrooms to confront his victims, up close
and one by one.

Those are the early conclusions of outside criminologists
sifting through what little is known about Alex Hribal, the 16-
year-old accused in the attack, and trying to piece together a
rough profile and an explanation for the brutal spree.

What set the suspect off remained an open question Thursday.
Hribal’s lawyer said that the teenager was not considered “a
loner or a weirdo,” did not use drugs and had no history of
mental health problems.

“People don’t just snap. There’s a buildup that takes place,”
said Clint Van Zandt, a former FBI profiler. “There was some
final catalyst, one last psychological straw that got pulled
from under this guy.”

One day after the rampage at Franklin Regional High School
outside Pittsburgh, little was known about the suspect. His
lawyer, Patrick Thomassey, said that he stands 5 feet 3 inches
and weighs 110 pounds. He did not keep a cellphone.

Thomassey, who spoke with Hribal on Wednesday and spent hours
with his family, described the teenager as a soft-spoken, shy,
“nice young man.”

They said that about Ted Bundy too.
