Very valid point. Some kids are just crazy. However, I still believe in some incidents there are things that can push an unstable person in a direction to make him / her more dangerous. Some people simply can't separate fantasy and reality very well. And like it was mentioned above, social media and mainstream media makes them all instant mini-celebrities.
Whatever the cause, if any, I don't recall incidents like this happening at the rate they do know when I was younger. The news existed them, both TV and print. The only difference was not having the internet.
