Yeah some guy got into an argument at work and called up his buddies who were waiting in the car with tactical gear, rifles, and pipe bombs. It's terrorism, the spin has been ridiculous on this. Obviously a lot of planning went into this, 3 people don't do this spontaneously.
Islamic State/DAESH, anyone? Everybody expected them to detonate a dirty bomb at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, so a few days later they attack a disability services center way out in the freakin desert, in a city that is just barely hanging on financially-if you've ever been to the wildly misnamed "Inland Empire" you know exactly what I mean. Streets of abandoned houses, vacant shopping centers and office buildings built on speculation and easy money, the old Route 66 is full of crumbling motels inhabited by Mexicans and meth addicts. Try and see if you can find the old videos posted on YT by a guy calling himself "George 4 Title". They were filmed during the depths of the Great Recession and give a good view of what the area is like. Anyway, basically the last place anybody would expect DAESH to hit. They ain't stupid, evil yeah, but not stupid.
