A person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims

The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims

Now, we don't know his motives just yet, but we will soon, but his targetting indicates either an anti-religious or anti-black motive, and as such, it is terrorism. He was a civilian, he used a gun against unarmed civilians for a particular reason, he is a terrorist.
