I'm always fascinated by the media term "gunman". If he used a knife, would they call him a "knifeman"? If he swung a baseball bat, would they call him a "batman"?

The terms shooter or perp or POS should be sufficient.

"Gunfighter and gunslinger /ˈɡʌnslɪŋər/, are 20th-century words, used in cinema or literature, referring to men in the American Old West who had gained a reputation as being dangerous with a gun. Gunman was a common term used for these individuals in the 19th century."
