"When I spoke to the investigators, they interviewed him this morning and they got that impression, that, yes, he understood the gravity of it. And he was pretty much fed up and kind of at the end of his rope. And yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did."
The shooter never spoke to the sheriff. And at best, he's talking about the impression investigators got, not some summary of quotes. Maybe you should have actually watched the video of the press conference like your quoted tweet suggests since you clearly did not?
If we're going to criticize the media or others, it's important to get the facts right ourselves. "This was the sheriff's position" may not be accurate, but it's much closer than "the shooter spoke to the sheriff and this is what he said."

Based on your quote it does not appear to me that the Sheriff is saying he just had a bad day. Therefore the Twitter outrage over the statement out of context is unfounded.
He appears to be saying that the investigators summary to him was that the suspect implied he was just having a bad day rather than being insane at the time and not understanding what happened.
The key message out of those quotes appears to be that this wasn’t a person with an insanity defence coming up
