plötzlich gewalttätig werden
The other day I asked what had happened to someone who was around the campus last year. "She went postal," I was told. That's to say, she had threatened to bring a gun in to settle some "work issues".
(John Sutherland - The Guardian - Monday April 23, 2001)
go postal
This interesting phrase originated in the USA in 1990s, where there were several incidents of people going berserk and shooting numerous members of the public in post offices.
