IMO, anyone who has been caught on video breaking the law should be under more scrutiny than they are currently. You can't expect cops to police their fellow cops.
Like reporters who should get this right. Or people who like this thing called accuracy. It's a designation used for a mobile shooter or entrenched shooter in a public area such as church, festival, school ( Texas Clock Tower shooter was an active shooter ), shopping center etc.
This situation is not an active shooter no matter how you want to spin it. It's a barricaded suspect, similar to a robbery homicide at a bank. The designation is important for classification and public warnings. Active shooter gives the impression the person is engaging civilians and possibly mobile.
Active Shooter, Noun ‘ak-tiv ‘shu-ter
The agreed-upon definition of an “active shooter” by US government agencies (including the White House, US Department of Justice, FBI, US Department of Education, US Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Emergency Management Agency) is “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.” In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Because active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation. In most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Individuals have been known to act without firearms such was the case in on April 2014 at Franklin Regional High School where 21 students were stabbed. It’s for this reason that ALICE also uses the terms: Active Killer; Violent Intruder; and Active Assailant.

- Violent Intruder

We need clear clinical definitions here. Only when we understand intent and the psyche of each type of shooter can we define the best response for each one.
Passive-Aggresive Shooter? Wouldn't that be known as a Minnesota Shooter?
There a support march today in downtown Philly. Expecting hundreds to show up at city hall. At first I thought that's great that the community is supporting the law enforcement folks. Then I read it's to support the shooters.
I think you guys are getting a little ahead of the horse on this. This article seems to do a good job of explaining some of the bizarre things taking place on social media.

Um, this journalist had the AUDACITY to use the phrase 'mass shooting' when referring to this incident. Someone call the Federal Government.
Wow. You guys need to get out of the house a bit to know when you are being manipulated.
