John Zawahri - He went to an alternative school in Santa Monica. One of his teachers remembers an incident in 2006 when he saw Zawahri looking for assault weapons online at school. The teacher reported him to the principal and he was sent to a psychiatric ward at UCLA. A high school classmate said Zawahri once invited him to his house, showed him a samurai sword, and talked about students at the school who he wanted to hurt. A teacher told the LA Times that he reported the incident, police searched Zawahri's house and he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, where he didn't stay for long.
Scott Evans Dekraai - His personality was said to have changed after an accident on board a tugboat in February 2007. Following an incident later in 2007 involving his stepfather, a restraining order was filed against him, barring him from possessing firearms. The order lasted a year and had expired at the time of the shooting. Court documents filed in September 2008 diagnosed him with PTSD.
Devin Patrick Kelley - who shot up the church in Texas 2017 had multiple assault charges against him and had been committed to a psychiatric hospital while in the Air Force.
All of these people should have been on the background list and denied access to guns, but they weren't.
As an aside both John Zawahri and Syed Rizwan Farook are said to have grown up in up in an "abusive" homes.
