It makes him FEEL superior? You're saying it like he THINKS he is...
The guy's got a gun in your face... he IS superior... and there is nothing cowardly to killing someone. Takes some huge freaking balls to pull a trigger and see someone die with your own eyes. Unless your doing it in a blackout which this guy obviously didn't do, so he saw everyone who he shot die. That gets to every single person. Now the act turns cowardly as soon as the killer kills himself, because then he is to cowardly to deal with what he just did. But if this guy would have emptied his guns and surrendered himself to the police, I guarantee you not only would he feel good about it, he'd get a fanclub and I'd join it because anyone who can shoot up a school and still have the guts to walk away from it without taking his own life deserves at least a bit of applause, no matter how horrific the act was.

Actually, when dealing with a psychopath, or in this case, a paranoid schizophrenic, it doesn't really take
anything for them to do something like this. For them, it's as easy to decide to kill someone as it is to brush their teeth in the morning. All they have to do is decide to do it, and it's as good as done.
As for him killing himself, it isn't an act of cowardice, but a means of glorification. In his mind, he felt that by killing himself, he would be immortalized as the killer of all those individuals, and be spoken about for years to come. It was just a means of sealing the deal, and making himself famous.
