> Fun fact; the first documented school shooting was perpetrated by some Lenape indigenous people, in Pennsylvania in 1764, during which attack they also beat to death all of the students and scalped everyone

That would probably count under modern definitions of "terrorism". I would also say that most school shootings should also be counted as "terrorism", except there's a very strong ideological push to not look at them this way. Don't look at the radicalisation. Don't read the (suspiciously similar) manifestoes. Don't look at who they cite for inspiration.
