Well, generically the topic is domestic terrorism.
I know that I'm verging on whataboutism. But there is the tendency to amplify outrage based on public sympathies.
I worry lots more about official government violence. Consider deaths of US troops in Iraq during the mid 00s. About 800-900 per year.[0] Or far worse, deaths of Iraqis, which exceeded 20K per year during that period.[1] The same issues that are driving mass shootings will likely result in another major war. That's the thing to worry about.
