probability that he was paranoid schizophrenic and that is the explanation for why:
1. He would do this.
2. Why no one would have any inkling that he would do this, and in fact be so surprised by it that his brother would say that it was as surprising as if a meteor had just dropped out of the sky.
3. Why he would leave no notes or explanations as to why he did this... even from his own paranoid perspective.
and to a lesser extent
4. Why was he wearing gloves if he was planning on committing suicide
5. Why did he have more ammo & explosives in his vehicle, as though he had additional plans?
6. Why did he stop shooting?

Does a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia seem like a perfect fit for the facts as we have them?
If he was paranoid schizophrenic, when did it likely manifest itself? His brother wasn't close to him recently, but he apparently didn't have a clue.
He was never diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic as far as we know... what is the likelihood of a paranoid schizophrenic making it to age 64 undiagnosed, and apparently not even suspected of it, when they are that far gone?
Do any of the facts we know of go against a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia?
Given that a diagnosis would never be made over the phone, I'm guessing that as unreliable as such diagnoses are even with in person interviews and examinations that doing so via info received via news snippets is especially unreliable, correct?
