EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

    The fact that PR might play into whether a specific attack is terrorism or not undermines the whole concept.

      Not really. They might have been hesitant to label it as terrorism to prevent a panic. It’s not uncommon for law enforcement to withold details of an ongoing investigation for such reasons, or to not tip off co-conspirators that they’re on to them.
