Simply and narrowly put, that may be terrorism, but to call this terrorism would be speculation -- it's not politically-charged attention-whoring in the strictest sense.

Another staple of terrorism is random violence, and we're not quite there yet.




Is an armed raid on someone's house not random violence?


An armed raid on a specific person's house house isn't random, however raiding any house in a particular neighbourhood would fulfil such a definition.


It's not random from the perspective of the police, but from the perspective of a citizen it might as well be.
