Temple is a crime scene

Multiple reports of multiple things, active scene...can't confirm is second shooter.

Reports of maybe others, tactical clearing, methodical.

The fact that the chief used the words "domestic style terrorism event" is critical. And now, naturally they will "clamp down."

Tactical officers are standing down.

Political backlash? Gun rights issues?

I didn't see the reporting. Any clue is appreciated.

I am wondering if this person is going to turn up to be linked with a milita like hate group? If so, I wonder if we'll ever know the whole story?

It shames me that such an event has again taken place in my country, though.

Hopefully the factual naming of the event will help bring about some change in our thought process. Words have power after all.

Normally white shooter = "tragic, random act of violence" or "lone nut".

One of their own is in critical condition right now.
I'm so glad they called it what it is.
