You might be able to argue that the shooting originally was not state sponsored terrorism. (I would say yes, but there is an argument there)
But once the President and VP and HS Sec. tell you to not believe what we all can see on video, once the investigation in quashed, once the response becomes higher ICE presence instead of de-escalation, then it becomes state sponsored terrorism. Even steelmanning it, I cannot see a reasonable argument against that.
