There is an active shooter situation unfolding in Jersey City on Tuesday afternoon. The incident began around 12:40 p.m. local time.
According to scanner traffic, two gunmen are firing at police officers and random people. The gunmen are reportedly shooting from inside a bodega.

Active shooter or robbery gone bad?

Oh wait, I forgot- EVERY shooting incident is an active shooter event until disappointingly proven otherwise.

But Jersey laws are already in place to prevent such acts right?
















Right?

I believe this has been determined to be a Drug Deal/Bust gone bad..

Excellent! Infighting amongst ourselves. Exactly what the anti-2A folks want to see.

I remember the term "Standoff" being used more than anything else.

Standoff I remember being applied to things like assholes in a house/bank/store vs cops outside. I absolutely do not understand the "active shooter" dislike, if there's a shooting in progress and you don't have the other info (aside from shooting in progress and location) about what happened, do you not report there's something going on? This is really one of the benefits to instant/24hr news, people can be informed of a dangerous situation in real time. Now that details are available, it's widely being described as "shooting" or "shootout".

That's OK. We can disagree. I have similar feelings on the term "wildfire", used both to headline a wind-driven, exponentially growing forest fire and a quarter acre smoky grass fire barely keeping itself burning. To the media, they are exactly the same.

In a blizzard he was lost, on a cold Nebraska night.
She ran calling Wildfire!

I know some active shooters. I don't get out as much as I'd like to.

RIP to the officer and hope the wounded fully recover.
