While I understand people being a bit taken aback by the authorities calling this a "firearms incident" or what have you as opposed to a terrorist attack, remember that this is an active situation and investigation at this point on the authorities' side of things.
It's easy for us or a politician to label it as such, and given the sleuthing that has gone on already we can just about definitively conclude that it is a terrorist attack. But I know at least American cops and likely NZ's finest likely aren't going to jump to proclaim this as a terror attack until later, if they do at all.
