Dont you think that someone with say..violent tendancies would be more likely to use a form of medication like prozac than someone who is healthy both mentally and physically?
There's your link I'd say. The people behind these horrible things are'nt changed because of prozac..they are the way they are and therefore NEED prozac, and that's why many of the people you listed happen to use prozac(to cure depression).
Its not the prozac, its the people that need to use prozac..

That's a very good point. Of course most people who use prozac would never be violent whether on or off the drug (clinical depression etc. does not generally lead to violence for example, and it would be wrong to suggest that everyone with mental health issues is a potential killer, that is simply not true), but yes there is likely to be a slightly higher proportion of violent prozac users than non-users one would imagine. Correlation does not necessarily point to the cause.
