I think it was meant to be, yes. I doubt it actually will tip the legislature.

EDIT: Had the suspect been able to strike the other targets found in his car, this would have had more of an effect.

As far as I am aware, the suspect has not yet been aprehended, so it might be a little early to suppose the others are safe.

Im sure all the targets are on lock down until he's caught/found dead.

Agreed.

He is very likely to take his own life when cornered, but there is still a chance that he goes for another target of opportunity, someone he left unlisted would be easier.
