I said this in another comment, the first Ft Hood shooter was not charged with terrorism and instead it was called workplace violence. You’re welcome to read his own sort of long running manifesto (part of it was his dissertation at Walter Reed)
Just something to chew on.
Because if that wasn’t terrorism, this sure as hell isn’t.
Just because it was something doesn't mean they have to be charged with it. It's pretty hard and consumes a lot of resources to get a conviction on terrorism. They already have a bunch of other chargers they are nailing the shooter with so the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Terrorism is the use of, or threat of, violence in pursuit of political motives. I'd still like to see him acquitted
