A murder has a singular reason, and can be considered rational. A shoot out against a gang can be considered rational. Random manslaughter is not rational. I honestly don't care what this boy's grievances were, going on a random killing spree is not a sane, rational act.
While we should flesh out the victims and raise the questions of why they might have done if they had continued to live (Which, of course, no one will ask), the insane one should become a ghost. While there is some educational value for security specialists and psychologist, there is no need for the general public to climb into the depths of a mad man.
