I certainly don't discount this act as a terrorism event though.

How could you? A kid with a gun shooting random shoppers at a Mall is terrorism.

No, terrorism has a political element. Typical street crime is terrifying, but not terrorism in a political context.

Like the Muslim who drove his car into a crowd because of Jihad is terrorism, but not the disgruntled warehouse employee who run over his boss after his shift. I hope that's making it clear.
