It was a school shooting in that it was a shooting that occurred at a place of education AND it was an assassination in that it meets the definition of assassination
The murder of a person (esp. a prominent public figure) in a planned attack, typically with a political or ideological motive, sometimes carried out by a hired or professional killer; a murderous attack of this kind.
