All that can be done is assume it did, and if so how do you address the bullying problem. Fix that issue and see if school shootings go down significantly, if they do then you can conclude that is indeed was the cause in most those past cases.

One of the biggest sources of mass-shootings in the last ten years is the rise of the misogynistic incel movement and its bizarre ideology. More really needs to be done to disrupt this movement. When people hate themselves (which is pretty much the core feature of Incels) and think there is no other option they are willing to lash out in whichever way makes them feel as if they are taking control or power. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the motive for this shooter given the information about the self mutilation of his face and the Incel obsession with facial structure. 

I highly recommend the Contrapoints video on the topic of Incels.
