Is that the same as this, which is already over?

Really need to include sources when posting something like this

Oh you wanted me to include a source that was created at 3:51pm when I posted at 3:30pm?

Next time I'll consult my personal soothsayer for you

Well you obviously heard about it somehow. Could've said "according to [xyz source]" like a school alert, police scanner, etc. I didn't say it had to be a news source or internet link.

A general rule is you shouldn't make any kind of alarming claim without some kind of source.

Yep my wife, who works in Manchester when it was locked down. But is my word any more reliable or trustworthy to you? It doesn't seem like it.

So you could've easily included text saying that and gained a lot of credibility.

Wow, someone got real upset they couldn't brag about knowing someone involved in a shooting that happened near a school.

I don't live near the area and genuinely don't care. I'm more interested in good news-sharing. A tiny bit of extra effort would've gone a long way in making this a much more useful post.

Active shooter means someone is actively shooting.

At the time of posting, it was an active scene.

Active scene is different than an active shooter.

It was an active shooter presence at time of post. Police went into places in Manchester to look for him. That is quite literally an active shooter situation.

Dude…your title is “active shooter in Manchester” pointing out that there was no shooting in Manchester isn’t pedantic, but is actually accurate.

SNIPES0009 OP t1_jaf2nfc wrote

There was an active shooter in Manchester. The person shot someone and police were looking for him in Manchester. What can't you understand about this?

You should probably look up the definition of active shooter.

SNIPES0009 OP t1_jaf4j07 wrote

Nah. If there is a person who shot someone and is still on the run and could potentially have shot others or could be in the process of shooting others prior to law enforcement arriving, it's considered an active shooter event. It's literally the protocol that was followed by businesses during the lockdown. Maybe you should go down there and tell them all they need to change their protocols because it doesn't align with your definition.

This area is also not Manchester. It is Central Northside.

SNIPES0009 OP t1_jaeyuke wrote

You're really going to be that pedantic? It's literally a block over what is absolutely Manchester. And when Manchester Academic Charter School was locked down with police presence within Manchester, it certainly was accurate.

Well that’s right up the street from me. That’s terrifying.
