The majority of people with paranoid schizophrenia are not violent in any way. In fact, people with schizophrenia are victims of crime more often than they are perpetrators. That being said, schizophrenia is connected with drug use, which can cause violence. But violent schizophrenics are much rarer than the media suggests. I can't find any specific statistics on mental illness and violence, but I would guess that the number is in the range of 250-500 schizophrenic murderers in the US.
