Stay safe! I hope they find the guy soon.
how are there only 3 non-bot comments on this massive news story? 🫣
no one has new news and the initial reports were way wrong?
initial reports weren't all that far off (22 dead vs 18, 3 locations vs 2) but yes most of this is because there's not that much to report other than sheer number of fatalities and the fatalism people have toward mass shootings in this country. there are only so many novel things you can say when we have a minimum of one or two double-digit death toll mass shootings a year.
