Actually, this is a bit of misreporting. He actually yelled "Admiral Ackbar"-- giving everyone warning that it was a trap.
IMHO, this mass shooting seems to be pretty much like most other mass shootings in the US-- lone gunman who is stressed out about his life, feels that he was alienated and mistreated by his cow orkers, decides that he wants to die and take some of the people that he blames for his problems with him, either as revenge or to "tell the world" about his perceived persecution. That he essentially "prayed" before he started shooting isn't necessary relevant-- most mass shooters in the US have been Christians or non-religious, and the Christian ones probably have done a bit of praying of their own before starting.
