Addressing the economic issues that is one of the underlying causes for most crime.
Addressing the social issues that make crime seem to be a viable option for some people.
Addressing the mental issues that some suffer from and doing a better job of recognizing and identifying the warning signs.
Encourage people not to kick the bucket down the road when they do identify the warning signs, in both the AZ and CO shooting, there were warning signs before hand, but no one took substantive measures to see that the person was investigated or treated.

Of course REAL solutions require time and hard work and Congress to actually do something.
