News on the Batman Shooting

The killer, James Holmes, was described as a normal American kid, who grew up in the Suburbs of San Diego. He had little friends, and was very quiet. He was in sports, but many team mates remember little of him. He was the top of his class in a science program in college. He graduated from high school as an honor student. He showed no signs of violence or distress. Funny enough, he once painted his hair red, and referred to himself as the Joker. He booby-trapped his apartment like a Jigsaw trap, with traps designed to maim and kill intruders.  He also reportedly told his psychiatrist about his issues, and he does not consider himself insane. He reportedly blasted loud music, so cops and neighbors would want to go into his apartment to investigate why he was blasting music, and get maimed by traps. I feel bad for his family. My question: What is going through his head? Why did he do it? What are his problems?: not enough parental attention, too much attention? No psychiatric help? No guidance in life? Bullying? etc. I almost feel bad for him, but it's more pity. Such a brilliant young mind wasted because of psychotic problems that were never tended to. What happened with him? We may never know.
