It's social proof. People see one shooter, and you get a string of copycats. They found the same thing with plane crashes - when one goes down, there's a much greater chance others will crash as well - they think due to pilot suicide.
If I have learned anything these last few years, it is to question all explanations or justifications. We so easily accept an "expert's" findings and analysis, especially if there is a "Dr" in front of the name.
