Thanks for this as it's something that comes up every time there's a violent event such as this. I'd also like to point out that someone can be mentally ill but not have that mental illness be a cause of the violent act committed. I think a better phrase to use when discussing something like this, in the absence of an actual diagnosis, is "mentally disturbed" or "mentally distressed." It still conveys that you may not think someone with a sound mind could commit a crime like this without implicating people with legitimate mental illnesses.
