I am watching MSNBC and they are not reporting any of that. The story will change a few times before we actually know the truth.

I think the differentiation for "terrorism" though is it needs to be more politically motivated. A psycho who just gets off on killing people isn't looking to cause political upheaval. So the point is, mass murder isn't terrorism. Serial killers arent terrorists. Disgusting that we even have to dissect things like this, but it is what it is.

This guys 'agenda' was to kill as many people as possible. How much more of an agenda do you need for it to be declared terrorism.

Time for people to start sourcing (linking) their information instead of just passing on any crap that's being spewed as there's PLENTY of that happening right now.
Several print sources including msn.com have reported this very thing - that he was known to authorities.
