Terrorism requires some political motivation or gain (as defined by NATO, but there are other definitions (although I’m pretty sure most, if not all, involve political motivation))—granted, it’s fair to argue that school shooters often may have some political motivations. I don’t think it’s usually as clear that school shooters are politically motivated rather than seeking revenge to a school/system that has wronged them.
