I feel like these days you can typically discern if there is a real shooting or not pretty quickly because you'll get X videos/etc. with gunfire in the background or very serious police response. And you'll often have some social media accounts of people hearing gunfire, early reports of victims, etc.

Here, I don't see anything like that yet, so hopefully a hoax.

Hopefully Aloy isn’t thrusted into a position where he needs to make a quick decision to save the day

He’s off campus now, right?

How long before we find out if this is an actual shooting?


Fayetteville Police, Fire, and EMS scanner is pretty quiet right now.

Too busy dealing with a 3 pronged active shooter event.

Hopefully just another false alarm.

Exactly. There is no group I trust less than college females who can’t wait to be part of something big and will spread every rumor they can.

They’ve likely moved all communications to a secure joint channel.

I remember VT, Pulse, etc. being ones where the news trickled out pretty slowly and it went from "is it a false alarm" to "it's real" to "it's horrific" over a longer period.

I feel like now you know if it's a real shooting within minutes of it breaking (or can make a reasonable guess) and the scale is usually apparent pretty early too.

Possible. We'll never get another broadcastify event like the Tsarnaev brothers.

They're talking about Mullins on the scanner now. Having trouble keeping track of the number of officers in the library.

None of the involved officers sound amped up, so I'm guessing they're just sweeping at this point, but they're really not discussing tactics, just keeping track of a number of folks on each floor.

Someone just requested a "rescue operation."

If there aren't videos on Twitter by now of them rolling out patients, it's another hoax.

Even in the Emory shooting, multiple videos with gunfire in the background came out within minutes.

My daughter and I were leaving a campus tour and cops were flying down the streets. When we got back to our hotel, the girl at the desk said there was a an active shooter and that he went from the library to 1021, one of the campus restaurants on Dickson streets. (Her friends were texting her that.) We are hearing more sirens now….
