to anything more, in any context.

Terrorism involves being part of and attached to a larger group, one guy influenced by social media is a lone wolf, not part of the group, merely a tool being used by the group that are the terrorists. Which I would add as an attachment to my other stab at it without consulting a dictionary.

So the school shooter is not a terrorist, he is not part of the larger group, although the NRA would fit in as an enabler and the shooter their tool...to spread terror and then manipulate the fear.
