the actors of America would probably prefer they go back to the term ‘gunman’.

Perhaps, but since it's no longer PC to say fireman, mail man, stewardess, etc., I say we should change it to gun-person! What's good for the goose and all of that... ;-)

How about something alliterative, like the ‘packin’ perp’? Or this could be good, a turn around on a favorite liberal term—how about the ‘gun controller’?

Possibly 23-year-old male inside. May also be one other person. Police are negotiating with shooter.

3-4 wounded officers are still where they fell. Other officers have been unable to get to them.

TV had to move their cameras back, as perp actually turned on his TV to see where officers were located outside.

[WesternPacific]

CNN is working on a follow-up story about an Afghan Taliban Leader claiming responsibility for the shooting.

[TomGuy]

WTAE reporterette says their on-scene reporter has confirmed that shooter is using an AK-47.

No resolution at this time.
