I'd say not terrorism but internal traveler feud.
Sad non the less with the death of an innocent child.

In this report they are suggesting it is a criminal incident, NOT a terrorist attack.

Quick question for my European friends, sort of related. Is it now politically incorrect to call them Gypsies?
In France, to buy a firearm, a hunting license or a shooting sport license is necessary. All semi-automatic rifles with a capacity greater than 3 rounds, all handguns and all rifles chambered in 'military' calibers, including bolt action, require permits. These are known as B1, B2 and B4 type permits. Firearms are divided into eight categories that determine the regulations that apply to their possession and use. France also sets limits on the number of cartridges that can be kept at home (1000 rounds per gun).

How do all these shootings keep happening where guns are illegal?
This is definitely sad.

Pretty sure they said the same thing about the shooter on the train the other day
