Any medium is only as reliable as its sources. As the media was not able to make up its mind on the facts, every site from Twitter to Wikipedia has suffered the same confusion.
As far as the motivations go, when a political figure is targeted, the first thought is always going to be that the shooting was politically motivated. I can't think of any other time an assassination attempt was carried out by spree shooting, however. It will be interesting to find out from the gunman what his motivations were.
