We live in a country so insanely violent and gun ridden that we have a specific term “active shooter.” That way we can distinguish between the boring run of the mill situation where some people were shot but now it’s done and the worse situation where a killer is still going around shooting anyone they can. That way we can have conversations like this: “Hey there was a shooting at school today”. “Oh, is it an active shooter situation?” “No, a guy shot two people and then himself.” “Oh thank goodness. For a minute there I thought you were talking about the worse kind of shooting. So I’m think pasta for dinner, that good for you?”
