Killing him may have been a bit harsh as he won't get his day in court. Why were they chasing him in the first place? Looks like a set-up. A head-scratcher for sure.
Were there any reports

Publicly defined definition

Homegrown terrorism or domestic terrorism is commonly associated with violent acts committed by citizens or permanent residents of a state against their own people or property within that state without foreign influence in an effort to instill fear on a population or government as a tactic designed to advance political, religious, or ideological objectives.[1]

One could argue...
Defined as commonly associate with violence yet not always. They committed the act against property taking it over illegally with weapons ready. You could say they wanted to scare the government into giving the land to someone the ranchers could control better. Trying to further their objective.
