This is not the first time one of Langman’s books has been found in possession of a shooter. Though he’s a psychologist in private practice, he’s spent the last decade obsessively researching school shootings, writing two books widely admired by threat-assessment professionals and academics. Langman often gets phone calls after mass shootings. The reporter told Langman that Sonbaly had apparently been reading a German edition of Langman’s first book, “Why Kids Kill: Inside the minds of school shooters.”“It’s incredibly disturbing,” Langman said in an interview. It was a reporter calling about Ali Sonbaly, the 18-year-old who went on a shooting rampage the night before at a mall in Munich.
