Sounds akin to the Fort Hood shooter. Signs all over the place, but no one wanted to rock the boat and send the guy to mental health counseling.

Not sure that it would have been productive in this case - particularly since the kid had a "me vs. them" mentality, and any attempt to try and get through to him would probably have been dismissed.
