How would you respond to a person killing someone else because God told him to?

How would you respond to a person killing someone else because God told him to?
I'll give an example. What if a person prayed to God because he/she wanted to ask what he/she should do or should be doing or whatever. And then he "orders" him/her to kill his/her family members, and he/she actually does do it. Now, how would you feel if that were you doing such a thing? (Answer not from the examples below) And as the general public, how would you feel about it if it's broadcasted in the news or in a way where you heard about it? Would you say,

A. "Oh, a direct order from God, that guy/girl must be lucky to have been ordered by the Heavenly Father."
B. "Hmm, how sad, but God knows what's best so I guess it's OK."
C. "What a freak! What kind of a God was he/she listening to? His faith is weak!"
D. "He/she needs to get that Schizophrenia treated."
E. "He/she needs to be in a mental hospital"
F. "*blank stare*"
G. (Other answer)

Not just an incident like that, but an incident involving the loss of a life, how would you respond?


EDIT: I couldn't even understand what I myself was asking, so I re-worded it a bit.
