Another heartbroken family, astonished and gobsmacked by what their son did.

This has been a steadily increasing drip, IMO. Seemingly intact and loving families with sons who are boiling beneath the surface.

I think both your definitions are correct here. Anyone who is injured or killed in an attack or accident is referred to as a victim, as are intended targets (eg. a victim of attempted murder).

In this case, the way the media is prematurely defining the ICE agents as victims feels off - to me at least. There are three confirmed casualties (excluding the shooter) who, in my opinion, are the ones who deserve to be recognised as the "victims" of this crime.

That is, until it is fully confirmed and proven that the shooter intended to target the ICE officers. Only then would it be appropriate to label them as victims.

The media was not the reason for the comment that said it was confusing that DSH asked for prayers for the victims, which they interpreted to include LE, as no ICE agents were shot.
It's not relevent who the target was, but I would argue it is clearly LE. Anyone in a vehicle which is shot up and several passengers are shot, is a victim. Same of any occupant of the office that had bullet holes in the window.
The shooter couldn't see into the vehicle or possibly have known if anyone but LE was in it.
Anyone in the vehicle will be affected for the rest of their lives, I can't imagine the nightmares ahead for all of them and their families. They don't need to prove or earn a label of victim.
