I suspect this would change a bit, if you separate serial killers from mass shooters.
Serial killers need to plan out what they are doing, to not get caught. They can often hide behind a mask of charisma.
Mass shooters fit this quite well. It’s also the exact behaviour I would expect from someone trapped in an untenable situation. The pressure builds until something happens. In a few of those people, it is via anger and rage against those they feel wronged them.
1 group is likely naturally broken, to some degree. The other is broken by modern society.
