From CNN:

Meanwhile, the AP reported that Kazmierczak's parents had placed him in a Chicago psychiatric treatment center after high school. A former employee of the center said Kazmierczak habitually cut himself and wouldn't take his medication, according to the AP.

The ex-employee, Louise Gbadamashi, told the AP she could not recall Kazmierczak being violent during his stay of more than a year at the Thresholds-Mary Hill House in the late 1990s.

"He never wanted to identify with being mentally ill," she told the AP. "That was part of the problem."

As an undergraduate at Northern Illinois in 2006, Kazmierczak wrote a paper called "Self Injury in Correctional Settings: 'Pathology' of Prisons or Prisoners?" Former professors said he had a keen interest in prison social work.

The AP also reported Kazmierczak briefly had a job as a prison guard in 2002 before failing to show up for work.

He also told a friend that he was given a psychological discharge from the Army after six months in the service in 2001-2002, according to the AP.
