NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â Federal investigators have avoided using the term domestic terrorism when describing the Christmas Day attack in Nashville and they say thereâs a reason.
In Sundayâs press conference, reporters asked investigators if they considered this an act of domestic terrorism. Doug Korneski, the FBI Special Agent in Charge, declined to comment, but a follow-up question was asked on what they would consider domestic terrorism.

Officials have shied away from calling the Christmas Day bombing an act of domestic terrorism while they continue to investigate potential motives. And many people are asking: Why?
It’s partially a question of semantics. But it also speaks to common stereotypes about who qualifies as a terrorist.
On Sunday, FBI field director Doug Korneski told reporters that agents don’t have enough evidence to call Anthony Warner a domestic terrorist. The FBI defines domestic terrorism as a violent, criminal act that’s committed to further someone’s beliefs about American issues. And Korneski says officials don’t know enough about Warner’s beliefs yet to meet that criteria.
