"A gunman killed three people and wounded three others during a shooting spree Wednesday at the Appalachian School of Law, officials said."

What is with that word, gunman? If a knife had been used, would they call him a knifeman or cutleryman? How about a baseballbatman if a Louisville Slugger is used? I've never seen a hit-and-run perpetrator called a carman or suvman. For diversity, do we call a female shooter a gunwoman?
