If he went there with the idea that he was going to mow some people down, it is terrorism.

No, it's still not terrorism.

I'm broadly defining the word. Did it strike terror in the folks that got hit as well as a lot more people that didn't get hit? if so, then it is, by definition, terrorism. ter·ror·ism ˈterəˌrizəm/Submit noun the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. So, if he did it on purpose and it was pre-meditated, it is, technically, terrorism. Thing is, I don't attach a lot of baggage to the word. TO me, it only means what the definition above means.
