I agree with this. However, you have to understand that in cases where the person has shown no pattern or history of violence for their entire life, suddenly starts killing people, it at least fair to think most likely they were mentally ill. Even briefly, and can go back to a "normal" state.
I am not saying this exact case is positively mental illness. Maybe the guy was evil. Really it is for the professionals to decide, and not the "Well I'm no expert but..." crowd.
I for one am interested in finding out why this happened. I have my guess (life pressure ratcheted up to the point his brain broke. Probably some trigger in there), but I may be as wrong as the folks who are just calling him a pathetic coward. We'll see I guess.
