It's way too early, but this sounds like a random shooting. Why was the guy wearing a vest and why did he have a police scanner?

I’m guessing the two that were injured but not shot sprained their ankle running away from the shooting. Got to pump up the numbers for headlines.

A second person was also taken into custody for allegedly shooting back at the gunman, police said.


Because of course the last thing we want is for someone to try to neutralize the shooter.

Thomas Sowell would say yes, in a way.

Of course we don't know how many shots were fired. Very low casualty to bullet rate is usually a hint.
