Security theater martial law and a tale that trump...
For any crime, there's a risk-reward balance. On the risk side, many rampage killers are suicidal and don't seem to fear the consequences of law enforcement. We need to focus on taking away the reward for these crimes i.e. public attention.

You assume without evidence that this act was a cry for attention, and not the more obvious attempt to hurt people.

Precisely. Hence it is rational for the public to carry out a manhunt to remove the threat.
