Given the age of the shooter, I guess it's possible he might be suffering from the onset of some age-related dementia. Early symptoms of Alzheimer's, Vascular Dementia, and other types of dementia include loss of judgment and diminishing self-control in emotional situations, such that a seemingly trivial event can set someone off who was not known to be short-tempered. I hope this man's family and/or defense attorney get him to a doctor for an evaluation. If that's the case, then he needs to give up control of his guns and probably could use some help around the home, but I hope the DA is flexible.
Of course, maybe this guy is simply a living example of the maxim, "There's no fool like an old fool." :/ If that's the case, and the DA cracks down, I have no objection at all.
