EDIT: If the perp hasn't been caught, couldn't they be planting more elsewhere?

Because if I didn't like you, and I planted a bomb in your house and it blew up killing you and some neighbours, that wouldn't be terrorism. Just murder.
But if I did to send a message of something bigger or it was just an attack on the city itself, that would be domestic terrorism.
Just like how when that guy shot and killed all those kids, he wasn't classed as a terrorist, but the Pulse club was - because they found links to a bigger motive. It's a very strange fine line.
Terrorism has recently become linked to Islamic terrorism. So I think they're being careful and responsible with what they say. People will automatically assume it's that and that could cause all M kinds of mess. Just wait for them to investigate. It could be gang related.
