It bothers me that we haven't heard more about that one. The episode really was more of an outlier from the other incidents in a lot of ways. Sniper attacks are pretty rare to begin with. I can only recall less than a handful.
That incident reminds me of Charles Whitman the most: he set up the nest in a high place, brought lots of weapons, and didn't really plan an escape. Because of that I tend to think this was probably more of a mental health issue, like Whitman. There is also a connection with their gambling habits.
