Extreme anger and yelling "I AM GOD" sure doesn't seem to match with a cool and methodical sniper.

It does if the person has a rage disorder. I've seen it in domestic abusers (male and female). Some of them can maintain control (while controlling everyone around them), but each time they cycle through the rage, they lose a bit more of the control over themselves, & when they do, if they're very controlling, will pull back. He's/she's more of a stalker than a person who just blows up & beats the living crap out of someone else. But the one thing abusers do not want to do is lose control of the situation. Toss in narcissism and a few other psychological disorders and the guy's a pressure cooker that blew--but blew under his terms, not someone else's.

Look at the killer's rage when no one paid attention to him. He/she blew up at the cops. He killed more people. He raged somemore. And I doubt if giving him money or anything else will placate the killer because the killer will never be satisfied--and the murderer will always feel as though he/she/they were wronged. Shifting blame is part of their mindset.
