It's an interesting topic and the ambiguity of the term has caused some problems. This is the conclusion from the essay:
Exactly.
One side will say it is, one side will say it is not and all so they can skew their "statistics" about shootings and their politics on terrorism or gun control depending on their argument.
That's why I had the question in the first place. I see this being referred to as "shooting" but he clearly intended to shoot more people he just failed. If a bomb is placed by a someone because of religion and it doesn't go off or doesn't kill or hurt anyone is it a terrorist attack or just an attack?

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
