Ugh. I hope the victims survive and the assailant is either apprehended or killed.

Time to fire up the ol' Thoughts & Prayers machine.....

 

[cscott]

I got a news alert that a suspect is in custody.

 

[cscott]

Also saw that 6 people were hurt.

Why is that person using asterisks instead of writing out the word shooter?

Twitter and other algorithms flag and throttle the visibility of posts containing certain words - e.g. rape, kill, suicide, - which has caused even serious reporters to have to adopt this kind of self-censoring.

It's also why Gen Z uses terms like "unalive."

Report of 1 person killed.

Glad that the suspect was apprehended. Shame they weren’t killed.

The IC profanity filter is going global.

It's almost never two gunmen. I will be interested to see if this is accurate or just another of a long line of people assuming multiple gunmen went in fact there was only one.

I was thinking the same thing. But one dead and one in custody seems like they are pretty sure.

Pretty sure the “two gunmen” claim was debunked pretty early on this one. One gunman who was shot and is in custody.

Press conference going on now. 2 dead, 5 injured. Shooter is in the hospital.

Shooter was son of a local sheriff who got access to her firearms.

 

[cscott]

Shooter is the son of a deputy. 20 years old. Used his mother's service weapon and was a member of the sheriff's office youth advisory board.

How can you be a deputy and allow someone to have access to your weapon, even if it is your son?

Have we seen the mom yet? Sometimes the kids kill them first. Or beat them up. It might not have been up to her
