(1) Thread #2 on the #BoulderShooting of 3/22/2021.

First press briefing coming up in a few minutes.

My earlier thread on this incident is here:

(2) Police briefing now underway.

PD Commander confirms multiple fatalities, including one LEO.

One person of interest in custody.
(3) This is most odd. They are refusing to say how many people died, citing the ongoing investigation. Honestly, how hard can it be to give us a ballpark number?

They've had several hours. Media have been giving numbers but ofc they are unconfirmed.

(1) There's an active shooter incident in Boulder, CO, with reported injuries.

Early info is still patchy, so I will wait for more info before discussing details.

Remember: There _could_ be more than one shooter but usually there is not.

(2) I was planning to write about the Asian Spas tragedy now that several days have passed.

Both (partisan) sides exploit (a) these tragedies, and (b) the background socio-political environment of the past 18 months or so.

Some of us are trying to "lower the temperature."
(3) Granted, this incident might turn out to have no connection to national politics. But the choices made when reporting on an incident can turn it into a political football.

All violence is wrong, whoever does it, and whoever is targeted.
