    To be a tertorist act it needs to be intended to cause terror. If the guy was having a psychotic episode and didn’t know what he was doing it would not be terrorism.

      A small Filipino cultural festival at a school was attacked. I am skeptical that this was a random act of violence. Nothing is impossible, but I think that it is much more likely that this was a targeted attack. Wait till they get the suspects computer, internet history, etc.
