In this part of Gun Country, it's called Rambo Fever. We see it after every shooting.

Librescu was a hero, no doubt about it.

I wanted to mention another of the slain professors, something that won't make it into the mainstream media but that will be of interest to some here. One of the first killed in Norris Hall was (Christopher) Jamie Bishop. Jamie's father is SF writer Michael Bishop, author of Ancient of Days, one of Bloomsbury's 100 Must-Read Science Fiction Novels.
