On the subject of terrorism and mission creep in language, I'm in the stupidest argument with someone on reddit right now.

There was a robbery at a local mall and one shot either was or wasn't fired but the entire mall and the store next door were evacuated.

The person I'm in the discussion with is insisting that this was an act of terrorism because of "right wing white males" mass shooting people.
