PSA: Run! Hide! Fight! Surviving an Active Shooter Event.

[Admiral Yi]

Well then he's not a shooter if he's inactive, is he?

Sure, if you want to make the distinction between shooter events and former shooter events that would work too.  Although I don't see how that's an improvement over active shooter event.

[Razgovory]

Well the word "event" seems to describe an occurrence.  A guy sitting in a jail cell or six feet under can hardly be described as a "shooter event".  Perhaps the terms "Mass shooting", and describing the guy as a "spree killer" would be better.

[Ed Anger]

They should have made Ft. Hood guy stop breathing.

I think the term is basically meant to differentiate a mass shooting from someone walking into a location, shooting a particular individual, and then either fleeing, surrendering, or killing themselves.

As dps pointed out, active indicates that it is an ongoing event.

What would an inactive event be called?

Active shooter: typical unnecessary over-wrought Cop Speak that makes it sound more important, and less literate, than it needs to be.  That's all it is.


"At which time we approached the suspect vehicle in question."
"You mean, you walked up to the car?"

"I together with Officer X and Officer Y seized the suspect baggy of alleged marijuana."

Sadly its us lawyers that make them talk that way.

"walked up to the car" - which car is that?  What is a car anyways?  I frequently have an officer describe pulling over a, say, F-150.  I then have to ask "Is a Ford F-150 a motor vehicle"?

As for alleged marijuana, if they just said marijuana the defence lawyer would certainly point out the officer didn't know for sure it was marijuana at the time...

See?  The legal system ruins absolutely everything it comes into contact with.

Yes, but in your defense, they carry it off into orbit a bit themselves.

I prefer "a baggy containing a substance believed at the time to be marijuana."  Alleged marijuana sounds like you didn't pass 6th grade.

What other F-150s are out there?

Guy in vid reminded me of Siege. Also think it would have been a good idea to knock out red headed bitch who wouldn't stop making noise.
