A couple of other things that make me think that this is a domestic nut job.

If it is organized terrorism, wouldn't it be happening in more than one major city?

If it was organized terrorism wouldn't they want to do the shootings directly in the D.C. metro to make a stronger point rather than shooting in the suburbs?

Could it be organized terrorists trying to distract all law enforcement agencies and get them wrapped up in this case so they can carry out a "big hit" ?

I think there's terrorism and there's terrorism. That is, I don't think it's all necessarily got to be on the grand scale, with coordinated attacks involving relatively large numbers of attackers.

This one attack has certainly been a very effective attack: he could have gone and done this in any city in the U.S., if what he really wanted was money, but he did it in DC, which is significant.
