You talking about that Polish dude that showed up a few years back? He's a prick on many levels.

Now WBRZ is reporting there may have been two shooters then said, "that's unconfirmed so we don't want to get into unconfirmed info".

THEN WHY EVEN SAY IT ON AIR???
They want this to be a tragedy so bad. fricking jokes.

Any word on why he stopped?


News is saying some altercation.

Eyewitness interviews this soon after are usually very inaccurate

no... I believe you and I are thinking of 2 different people

ETA: the guy you're talking about didn't show up at the station until after my time there had ended

All the definitions I can find of active shooter say nothing about the number of people being shot. I guess the distinction they are trying to make is that when the police were called the guy was no longer trying to shoot?

Dude pulled out a gun at customer service clerk and started firing. Believed that these 2 fine people knew one another.

I don't see the uproar over WBRZ reporting it as that. Rather be safe than sorry


just like yelling bomb in a movie theater. Causes mass hysteria.

Customer service clerks at this Wal Mart are the absolute worst. I went to return something a few weeks ago around 9am and asked when customer service would be open and was told "whenever they get here."

Mass shooter is defined as shooting 4 or more people

Active shooter means the shooter is still on the loose/not in custody or dead

Good lord, if you had to drink every time a reporter said unconfirmed reports, you would be dead.

If that’s what Active shooter means surely it was an active shooter situation when reported right? He wouldn’t have been in custody at that point.
