    Like any breaking news story, even before the whackadoodles took over social media, this has got a lot of unconfirmed/unreliable "facts" right now. I'm willing to wait until we get actual confirmed information before I point fingers.

    But what's the fun in that?

    Media reporting 1 dead, 20 injured from the event. Possible someone is in custody.

    And I've seen how this plays out.

    1) Someone commits horrible tragedy
    2) Random doofus tweets photo and says "this is the guy!"
    3) People retweet random doofus
    4) Dude in photo turns out to be dad in another state going out to get milk
    5) People blame media.

    This is the playbook of the Boston Marathon bombing. Again, the media’s fault.

    If that pic in the driveway is the guy, he is either the stupidest person in America or that mentally ill he has no idea what he did

    My gut instinct is that he watched the Rittenhouse case from start to finish and will claim self defense.

    11 adults, 12 children transported to hospitals. There are fatalities but not releasing those numbers yet

    Shots fired probably came from police, which makes sense
