I always wondered what an INactive shooter looks like.

I envision cops driving down the street, seeing him, and continuing on, saying “oh, that one’s not active”.

Carrying one backpack into a theater is suspicious, let alone two. Who needs a backpack for a movie? Why do they allow that?

Can only link to the local liberal newspaper, but it says policy tweeted shooter is dead.

Suspect may have left a backpack inside the theater that police are checking.

Extra police patrols have reportedly been assigned at Bellevue 8 movie theater across town.

Local businesses in immediate area on lock down.

SWAT team is on the scene.

When I go to the movie theater(During the day) sometimes I see people walking in with backpacks, no one even bothers to look(Normally the ones wearing the backpacks are young people) I get it if they just came from school and want to check out a movie, but otherwise yeah I would think its strange(Unless they are sneaking in snacks, heck I used to do that)

“That (Southeast Nashville) used to be a nice area but now it’s been taken over by the Mexicans.”

Should have elected Trump mayor.

It’s getting irritating how these things are now “active shooters”. The last “active shooter” was a bank robbery. But bank robbery doesn’t let people wring their hands about all our crazy people with guns.

Shooter had “sandy hair”; this is an early report though for whatever that means, early 30s.
