and was she even in the courtroom ?

I don't see the point in her simple speculation. That he shot 70 people that he didn't even know speaks for itself.

If anything good can come out of this shooting it may be a better understanding of this kind of madness and what we can do to contain or control it but that won't come from high school French teachers just watching this Sideshow Bob on TV (like the rest of us).
