I thought it seemed like an odd shooting as well. CNN (I know, I know) reports that some of the people involved were supposed to be meeting to discuss gun legislature, but in light of the shooting, the meeting was postponed http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/gun-legislation-hearing-congressional-shooting/index.html?sr=fbCNN061417gun-legislation-hearing-congressional-shooting0302PMVODtopLink&linkId=38690689

If that's the case, a shooting would be a perfect way to try to push this legislation a certain way.

Yes, and the UPS shooter used an "assault pistol " That is the very first time I've heard that expression. I've owned hunting rifles and a handgun but I did support a ban on military assault weapons with large capacity magazines. However if gun opposition is going to start including pistols I might have to re-think my position.
