      Just copying it into here cause I’m getting tired of the comments:

      "A surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims. "

      As far as we and the police know, there was no political or religious agenda here. Again, as far as they know, this was not a planned attack. This is fucked up and really fucking heartbreaking situation but it is not, by definition, a terrorist attack.

      It’s been used as a political hammer for a long time. For example, cartels operate like business, but are qualified as terrorist organizations by the US.
