The Xanax/Cocaine Shooter

So around two weeks ago, this Dayton shooting occurred.  One of the odd things is that cops reported now....that the dead shooter had cocaine and Xanax on him.  So he was actively taking both.  What happens when you mix the two?

Well, this gets interesting. 

Normally, if you use a good bit of cocaine....you got through a extreme happiness period, with hyped-up energy, increased alertness, and could possibly display paranoia. 

Normally, if you use a good bit of Xanax?  Drowsiness (to the level that you might be sleep-walking and not realize it), irritability feelings, depression, and sleepiness. 

The odds that a guy would be in some hyped-up dream-state, with paranoia going on.....disillusions perhaps?  This guy shoot folks, while in some dream stage? 

This guy not have even realized the stage that he was in or that this was rationally planned out?  You might go and suggest this.  Did he even know the consequences of mixing the two drugs?  I doubt it.  How did he get the prescription drug Xanax?  That hasn't been told yet, and they might go and avoid that discussion entirely. 

But this opens up a whole discussion....other past mass shootings....what's the odds that Xanax figured into two or three of those episodes over the past twenty years?
