You've got it backwards, unless it's proven that he's actually mentally ill, he should be considered just as sane as everyone else.
You vastly overestimate the reason some people would need to go kill someone else. There are plenty out there who wouldn't give a second thought to blowing your head off for your watch, or the jacket you wear, or your phone, or just because they didn't like the way you look. They're all quite sane, they just don't give a fk about you.
Man are capable of horrendous acts, especially if something in their life causes them to lose their inhibition, but that doesn't excuse them or make them insane.

certainly not the number of injured, as far as number of dead... it'd depend on how skilled he is.
it would've been far worse however if he had simply resorted to using explosives, as he certainly knew how to, going by what he did to his apartment.
