(Reuters) - Fifteen people were shot, one fatally, at a packed nightclub in Cincinnati, Ohio, early on Sunday, and police said they believed at least two shooters may have been involved.

The motive was still unclear, but Cincinnati Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate said on Twitter that "there are no indications this incident is terrorism related."

The shooting took place around 1 a.m. when hundreds of people were reported to be at the Cameo Nightlife club, which the Cincinnati Police Department said has had "multiple problems" in the past.

Terrorism, by definition, is trying to effect political change by spreading terror and mayhem on the general innocent and unarmed public.  Timothy Mc Veign and the Boston bombers are examples of such!

If this is true, how can the authorities know already that this does not appear to be terrorism? They were still trying to clean up the blood when they made that assessment.
