For news sake I googled Steve Kazmierczak's name and ran it through a video search. Two hits showed up. Both has Kazmierczak's name with some pretty odd titles. Both posted by the same user, shrubhuntertran13578

"He had stopped taking medication and become somewhat erratic in the last couple of weeks," Campus Police Chief Donald Grady said, declining to name the drug or provide other details.
