I read it as a messed up young man. If one is going to commit suicide, might as well make the front pages. In this case the target suggests it was more likely gay than ISIS, but something messed him up and it could very well have been neither.
This too is an interesting response for two reasons. First it is noncommital and does not answer the question. Second it seems to imply that it was obviously a rampage (that is, a criminal act rather than an attack by a member of an irregular military unit like 911) and went to the next level of speculating why the shooter decided to commit this criminal act.
