I and other adults don't need you or the government to tell me what the gunmans motivations were. You say he was confused and in a condescending manner indicate that "casual american readers" would not understand that "fact". It's not a fact, it's an opinion, an interpretation, one which may or may not have any basis in reality.
The administration clearly wants to direct impressions of this event a certain direction and are furnishing a narrative that supports those impressions. In blunt terms, that is called spin.
Release the transcript verbatim and let the public draw their own conclusions. Doing anything less simply fuels conspiracy fantasies and undermines the credibility of the government.
I'll pass on half baked interpretations and finally spun narratives, just provide the source material and leave the analysis up to the individual.
