From CU Police Twitter (after the false shooter reports)...

CU Alert: Unconfirmed reports of active harmer at the UMC. Avoid area. Take appropriate protective action. http://alerts.colorado.edu

"Active harmer..." Ya gotta be kidding me.

From CU Division of Emergency Management:

An Active Harmer is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, active harmers use firearms(s) and there is often no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Active harmer situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Typically, an immediate deployment of law enforcement is required to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to victims.
Because active harmer 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.

One would think an institute of higher learning would use a real word; It's like calling a dude's "wedding tackle" a periwinkle.

It's the new trigger word used to sensationalize violence.

Active harmer....
Active domestic violence....
Active inappropriate toucher...
Active peeping Tom...

Just wait, eventually they'll send out alerts for "Active Microagressor"

You'd think they'd at least cancel classes.

Maybe they missed a letter? Maybe it was suppose to say Active Charmer? This is CU right?

The real problem is all the active sufferers running loose in Boulder.
