I would have to think it was personal. I also think that, as seems to me often to be the case, he was shocked and sickened by his own actions, and put an early end to his planned mayhem.

I think this was the case at Columbine. Even though they did kill a number of people, they were in a position to kill multiple times that many, except that the whole thing was going sour for them.

Even the Newtown shooter quit after a point, although it seems he did keep at it for a long time, an indication of the depth of his psychosis, as I see it.

The joker guy was similar, truly nuts.

That is what I am keying in on, the suicide. Many of these mass shooters, just going from their behavior, seem to be in a trance when they do it, then snap out of it, and commit suicide when they meet resistance, or even if they don't, but at some point just want to end it. Someone shooting back at them, or even sirens, will cause them to shoot themselves.

A typical black criminal would not commit suicide. They would try to escape and survive. A muslim would commit suicide, but only at the last resort before getting caught, trying to do as much damage as possible. This was acting like a white school shooter.
